Truly phenomenal video from Real Engineering about a genuinely phenomenal product. In my review of the AirPods Pro 2 in 2023 — a year after they originally shipped, when the cases were changed to use USB-C — I called them “the best single expression of Apple as a company today”. That remains true. AirPods exemplify everything that sets Apple apart: miniaturization, “it just works” ease of use, opinionated design (you get them in any color you want, so long as it’s white), and, most of all, joyfulness.

It occurs to me that Apple doesn’t brag enough about its engineering accomplishments these days. Under their previous CEO, they’d spend more time in product introduction explaining how things work, like a lecture in a 101 college course. I miss that. This Real Engineering video fills in those gaps.

Last week I did an unusual podcast about three huge birds fighting over a fish in a nearby pond. Usually I write and talk about technology or politics, but this was such a compelling story and I didn't have any photos or video, so I did a verbal story. Hope you enjoyed it. W...

The Gallagher brothers stepped onto the stage in their hometown of Manchester, knowing all 80,000 of us wanted the same thing. It had been 16 years since Oasis had performed together—even longer since the brothers had anything more than a tense professional relationship—and everyone gathered there was hoping their notoriously volatile dynamic could hold together for the duration of this show.

They opened with “Hello,” the lead track off their second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? The brothers stared out into the enormous sea of people wearing bucket hats and Adidas shoes, and simultaneously sang the song’s final lines: “Hello, hello. It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.”
