If the phrase “Let’s go!” were erased from the universe, there would be 40% less things said on YouTube and Twitch.tv.

Tim Cook did -- what we call in the biz -- "a good job."
Title for the latest chapter for the next book: It’s July, You’re Fucked (Someone might be behind schedule and projecting)
If you keep thinking, “There is just not enough time in the day,” then you’re probably screwing up as a leader. 😬
The MacBook Neo Guide — first edition.
In 2008, Jobs said Apple couldn't make a $500 computer that wasn't junk. In 2026, they made a $599 one out of iPhone parts, binned chips, and recycled aluminum. It's not cheap. It's reuse.

You'd think the robots would be better at detecting outages:
You want to make the piece better? Write it again.
And, yes, I can't login this morning -- again.
Attacking civilian infrastructure is barred by the Geneva Conventions, but Trump said he was “not at all” concerned about committing war crimes.
Updated the Apple Charging Guide for March 2026: randsinrepose.com/guides/apple...
- iPhone 17e, MacBook Neo, M5 Airs/Pros, iPad Air M4
- Air now ships 40W (was 30-35W) -- better, not fast
- Neo ships 20W on a 30W device -- new worst gap
- Tahoe 26.4 adds "Slow Charger" warning -- Apple admits it
I didn't claim that ICE and TSA weren't communicating.
In related news, SFO contracts with a private firm and isn't impacted by the TSA funding fight. ICE is being sent to 14 airports with the highest TSA call-out rates — neither SFO nor Oakland is on the list. The ICE video you've seen is real and is a deportation arrest, unrelated to the deployment.
How odd that ICE isn't wearing masks to conceal their identity at airports. Nothing says "we're the good guys" like suddenly discovering transparency now.
So are eggs cheap yet?
Untrained humans will be making screening decisions at airports. That makes a lot of sense: www.axios.com/2026/03/22/t...
Too many to fit, but regulars I use a lot, or cycle through regularly ADHD-wise: Github Monaspace (e.g. Argon, Neon, Xenon); Julia Mono; Lilex; Commit Mono; Reddit Mono; Red Hat Mono; Twilio Sans Mono; SF Mono; Roboto Mono; Liberation Mono.

I am intrigued.
This is quite good -- already evaluating.
I am, once again, evaluating fixed-width typefaces for Terminal/Ghostty — please tell me your favorite.
Furiously getting Claude to slap together a script to analyze my Wi-Fi connectivity before the plane takes off. #robotproblems
The narrative for this war is worse than the last season of Game of Thrones.
Hey, uh, Claude. Just FYI -- your lock-in is not strong enough for me to start wandering during two hours of downtime. BTW.
Growing teams are world class at inventing new ways to poorly communicate.
Sure, but we can agree -- "bad planning"?
Getting calendar spam? Fix: Google Calendar → Settings → Event settings → "Add invitations to my calendar" → change to "When I respond to the invitation in email." Legit invites still work — they just wait in your email until you accept. Ten seconds. Do it now.
