Nick Heer blogging on the 50th anniversary of Apple:
But the main reason I am fascinated by Apple is that it has built such a distinct identity for itself. It has not always stuck to it but, if anything, I think that helps reinforce the existence of an Apple-y identity.
Funny how we adapt. I looked at the Barcelona metro map yesterday and thought this is a crazy, jumbled mess of random lines. A couple hours after arriving, it seems totally normal.

For the next minor update to Inkwell for Mac, I’m trying to address confusion around the highlight button. Two changes: adding a “new post” button, so it’s more obvious the “highlight” button is a different thing, and giving it a subtle yellow. It’ll ship tomorrow.
Coco’s napping
It's peeve time. I've just listened to a song that inspires me on Amazon Music. A song I've been humming and singing in my head all morning. After it's done, the voice of Alexa comes on and says "BTW, you have two new messages. Would you like to hear them?" Now I have to think about how much I hate this. I had an exalting experience I want to savor and the frickin robot intervenes. If I say "don't do that again" it says basically "Sorry Dave."
BTW the latest episode of 500 Songs is about The Who and Tommy. I of course had the album, which means every song is deeply embedded in my personal LLM. This episode, in two parts, was one of the best most recent ones. As with what Get Back did for the Beatles, when you know more about the people creating the art it has so much more value.
YouTube now puts commercials in front of songs. I used to be able to point to a low rez recording of a song as part of my blog. Now I have to think about all the links I've put in my archive that lead to shittified Google. I had never used that adjective before, I think, this certainly qualifies.
