🍋 Issue #19 - In the North, Winter Is Here
Welcome to issue #19 !
Hello!
I'm experimenting with when I should send this out. I sent last week's issue on Saturday, and Saturday morning can feel like a nice coffee and newsletter reading vibe. But I also know looking at a screen on the weekend could be the last thing you're wanting to do.
So this one's going out Friday afternoon instead. Hit reply and tell me what you think!
On to the issue.

Thoughts I Would Have Tweeted
Zach Gage makes a bunch of iOS games we really enjoy, KnotWords for example. His newest venture is Puzzmo, a home for thoughtful puzzles. It's currently locked behind, what else, a puzzle available to the first 500 people who figure it out.
Despite not having any massive new features, there's lots of quality of life improvements in iOS17 like shuffling a photo album on your lock screen.
My favourite band is playing in a venue called The Sphere in Las Vegas. I can't bring myself to spend the tix + flights $$ when things are tight enough as it is, so instead I'll just keep reading interesting articles about my favourite band playing in a Sphere.

Picture From My Life
An instant coffee recipe I saw on TikTok that I tried this week. It's ok, but still tastes like instant coffee:
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4 tbsp cold water
- Mix until frothy
- Add ice and top off with milk of choice
- (Captain Morgan mug optional)
