I hate that they’re called ‘toots’.

It’s been almost a week and I’m the umpteenth person to tell you that the AirPods are fantastic. I miss the controls in the BeatsX’s clicker but it’s not as bad as I’d feared. I’m truly surprised how happy it makes me to be completely cordless.
Really beautiful weather in Tokyo today. It felt like the first great summer day… maybe this year?
I wish Mastodon had used an alternative to @

That feeling when your new tests pass far too easily and you’re left with a nagging sense that there must be a bug somewhere.
The song stuck in my head currently is Common’s ‘Testify’.
I never stop being disappointed that Japanese KFC doesn’t have gravy.
I’m enjoying deadmau5’s Where’s the Drop?
Finally managed to get our daughter to take her afternoon nap. Go me!
I ended up getting a set of AirPods after all. I miss the controls you have with the clicker on the BeatsX earphones but I couldn’t find it in me to take the risk that I’d have more success with another pair (they’d already been replaced once).
I’m pretty sure of two things: (1) my BeatsX earphones are dead and (2) I’ll buy a new pair tomorrow. As tempted as I am by the AirPods (and as stupid as it is to buy the same version of a product that inexplicably broke), I need the clicker.
My beloved BeatsX earphones won’t turn on :(
Ugh, it’s probably the fact that I’m doing a full-scale rewrite but I’m finding it difficult to find enthusiasm. I’m making progress but it’s very slow.
I support the idea of publishing to open platforms but it’s a mistake to think open platforms can’t be toxic. Every social platform—particularly ones where conversations are public (and, hence, performative)—is susceptible to anti-social behaviour.
That thing where, near what you thought was the end of a software project, you rip the guts out and rewrite it from almost scratch.
Remember WiMAX? No, me either.
The ad reads in Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Revisionist History’ are delightful.
I wonder what Shaun Inman is doing these days. I miss his presence.
Every couple of months I get curious about Mastodon and check to see if there’s a nice looking iOS client (the answer is no).
I wish the bug in Icro that prevents certain links from being tapped on was fixed :(
