🍋 Issue #41 - Meanwhile on a Tuesday Somewhere in Saskatchewan

Come for the links, stay for the weird device that used to give me huge fears to even touch.

Welcome to issue #41!

Hello!

I had a complete Monday brain fart and totally forgot to schedule my newsletter to go out. I’m sure hundreds of you—technically 64 if the analytics are to be believed—were panicking this morning. I’m so sorry! 😆 Please accept this humble package of links as atonement for my tardiness.

On to the email!


Words I Wrote

Links to blog or social media posts I published in the past week.

  • Yours Eternally Short Film

  • Three Nights in Dublin

Two posts about music. One to do with U2. And it’s not the obvious one in Dublin.


Linking to Likes

YouTube videos, blog posts, podcast episodes—whatever I've enjoyed or found interesting over the last few weeks.

  • HazeOver - Nifty app for highlighting the active window on macOS. I accidentally upgraded to Liquid Glass on my Mac Studio and I really dislike how Safari windows just disappear over each other.

  • “I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day.” 💔 From The Guardian or in Apple News+.

  • Mysteries of Claude - A good episode of Search Engine that talks about Anthropic’s attempt to teach it’s AI, Claude, to be good.

  • Terminal Winamp - If you know how to use the terminal and you’ve always wished Winamp was available in the terminal, this link is for you.


Picture From My Life

A photo of a scoreboard updating box at a small town hockey rink. The All Sport 5000 series.
This kind of device used to fill me with fear. This one in Dalmeny, Sk was actually fairly easy to use compared to many others.

💖 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!

    I'm as confused as you are as to how it's 2026 already and also feels like it's been 2026 for months.
