🍋 Issue #35 - It's More Than I Can Handle
This email is guaranteed to help you wake up on a bed of sunshine and fart sparkles. Or something like that.
Welcome to issue #35!
If you’re like me, you do a great job of avoiding doom scrolling and keeping all the dark and heavy news of the world out of your life and walk around with sparkles and sunshine coming out of your butt.
✨☀️💥
jk, me neither. I don’t actually float around on a bed of sparkles and sunshine. But I do put together an email each Tuesday, so there’s that?
On to the email!
Words I Wrote
Links to blog or social media posts I published in the past week. Just one this week:
AI Slop is Detectable - Maybe I’m really naive, but it feels like a very solvable technology problem.
Linking to Likes
YouTube videos, blog posts, podcast episodes—whatever I've enjoyed or found interesting over the last few weeks.
General Links
2025: Year in Review — Benjamin Borowski - Lots of great 2025 year in review posts.
Justin Jackon's year in reivew - I even got a mention for connecting with the Transistor team in Canmore earlier this year.
Cassidy's 2025 year in review - New baby 🎉 and fun side projects!
How Markdown took over the world - Anil Dash - Markdown is a way of writing for the web. I really dig this history of how it came to be.
Generate Apple Music Playlists With ChatGPT - This feels like a genuinely good use of AI related tech that ideally Apple is building in to Apple Music directly.
we are here. Performance at Beyond Tellerrand - A crazy idea that turned into a phenomenal performance by the Frost brothers.
The View Between Villages - The Odyssey | Animatic - Using the bridge of Noah Kahan's "The View Between Villages" to back visuals of The Odyssey. ❤️🩹
Never Gonna Give You Up but all the notes are C - This is Rick Rolling taken to the next level that will drive any musician insane.
This Week at Lemon Productions
I'm actually going to remove this section because I've realized I need a way to update clients (or potential clients) on the work I can do for them, so I'm spinning this section off into it's own monthly(ish) newsletter you can sign up for if you want.
Picture From My Life
💖 Be curious. Not judgmental. 💖
If you’ve got a question, suggestion, or comment about anything in this email - hit reply and send me a message!
Until next week-ish - thanks for reading!
Chris
