This is just ten different kinds of freaky.

This is a series I would tell people to subscribe to Netflix for. It’s that good.

While this is supposedly a “US Only” offer, a Reddit poster has a workaround. It didn’t work for me though.

It’s only a rumour at this point but even the hint this could happen will certainly accelerate any plans Apple may have to move at least some of its manufacturing out of the reach of the Chinese government and its battles with the US government.

I let my Arcade subscription lapse a couple of months ago. While there are plenty of games, very few are of interest to our family. I think the comparison to consoles may be a little unfair but I’m not a console player so I don’t/can’t compare the experiences. On their own merits, the Apple Arcade games just aren’t compelling enough for us.

My wife is a big fan of Spotify, mostly because of the selection of specific kinds of yoga music. If you haven’t tried it yet, this is a good deal for three months.

As the article points out, on the face of it this seems an odd buy, given that Apple has pointedly said they are more interested in AR than VR. But it may well be a personnel acquisition as opposed to a tech one.

Farrelly has posted a fairly easy Youtube video on how to kludge together a process using the free CamLive and CamTwist software on a Mac. Hint: Try it without the Terminal trick/hack first. I did and it worked fine with Wirecast and my Nikon D600 (didn’t try it with Zoom). The biggest problem is it drained the camera battery fairly quickly. I was done after only a couple of hours.

Apple has a page where you can download and read the PDF of the report yourself.

The show ended with a 20-minute rendition of Purple Rain (with 10 minutes of a Prince guitar solo). I know where I’ll be at 8 pm ET this evening.

In case you’re wondering, The Photographer’s Ephemeris says the Stonehenge sunrise on Sunday morning, June 21 will be at 5:36 AM local time. Set your alarm clock accordingly.

It’s not perfect (the fluid dynamics aren’t very fluid) but overall, an incredible display of what gamers can expect in their next-generation consoles.

My (three) dads were bad but sure as hell not this bad.

Someone (or more likely something via computer voice) reading stories doesn’t sound like something that would make Apple News+ more interesting to me.

If you’re lucky enough to have a Surround or 3D sound system, crank this up and just let your ears bleed from all the glorious noise. Now excuse me while I go price out Surround systems.

Polaroid used to be the epitome of consumer photography. The SX-70 was the first camera I remember using as a kid and it was magical.

Settle in. This is going to be a bumpy ride of a story.

Not every photo you have needs to be printed but there is something to be said for printing off your best shots. There’s something about the tangible nature of a printed photo or a shot you took hanging on your wall that showing it via a phone or computer screen just can’t recreate.

I was never a huge Seinfeld fan but Frank Costanza was my favourite character. R.I.P., Mr Stiller.

I can’t even imagine the time and skill it took to put together and create something this beautiful.

I don’t think it will take that long. I think as soon as airlines are given the all-clear, they will drastically lower fares and people will start flying again.

I’ve always been a big fan of Moltz’s particular brand of silliness.

I apologize unreservedly for my part in making the “fake” video seen.

Less traffic gives leeway for some people to act more recklessly. This is why we can’t have nice things.

This may have been the first comedy album I ever heard as a kid and I still love listening to it. Newhart’s particular style was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen and his comedy was/is brilliant.

As always, Fleishman does a good job explaining the technical aspects of mesh networking.

My wife is in hospital for a separate procedure (she’ll be fine) but they test all incoming patients for Covi-19 as a precaution. If this isn’t a reason to stay inside (look at how deep that swab goes!), I don’t know what is.

She said she could still feel the swab seven hours later.

Over a million views for this self-indulgent mix of disdain and nerdgasm. Seven minutes and forty-five seconds of my life I’ll never get back.

Man, I bet all the Auburn and Duke alumni are feeling awfully queasy seeing Cook decked out in OSU gear.

I love crossword puzzles and this one was a blast to do.
