Its ONE ‘band’ from the UK that I had never heard of until a week? ago.
They have produced a LOT of albums.
They are extraordinary.
Bugger. Been carefullly avoiding 🍎📺 for the past three weeks and accidentally clicked in last night and boom .. three episodes of Slow Horses later … and now I have to wait!
Take a transcript of last years presentation, search and replace old numbers with new numbers, use AI to insert audio of new words into the recording. Edit presenter backdrops with footage from SF. Hit play. Great demo 🍎.
I have been with 🍎🗺️ since the start and definitely felt the pain. But. BUT - thanks to Google I stuck with it.
Apple Maps is one of the best examples of the power of persistence I can think of. It started as a laughing stock, but now, for people in many countries, it’s arguably the best maps service.

A new bank card for me involves a ceremony that includes cutting the old card into bits and distributing the bits into various places .. today I got my new 🍎💳, the ceremony needs a tweak .. replace scissors with hacksaw?

I kid you not, so frustrated earlier today that I have had to calm down. All my iOS stuff not currently in use is kept in a single place. Yesterday the pile was - shall we say - ‘organised’. All stuff in same place - just a neater pile than usual.
Today, I went to pick up iPad and 🍎Pencil - and the pencil was missing. Nowhere. Seperated all devices out - and checked off one by one. Still nothing. I went to the places I usually use it - nada. Lifted couch cushions. Nothing. Stopped search. Started search. Frustration doesn’t even get to it. Two hours and then some. Negotiating with myself - that clearly it was a message from above that my old pencil had run its course - and I could now justify a super duper new one.
Here’s what I think happened.
The bank manager got hold of that rationale and somehow planted in my brain that I should take one more look. I did.
Did I mention the tray that sits beside the ‘iOS stuff’? I mean it’s there. It’s clearly not hiding - and I had looked under and all around it. The lip of the tray curves down so you can’t see anything behind the lip if you look ‘underneath from the side’. But I knew that and had already looked. I mean - how could anything really be there? It would just fall down again.
TODAY I LEARNED …
.. that the tray has sufficient Nickel plating that it can attract a magnet in say something like an Apple Pencil and snap that puppy nice and tight into and under that lip.

All those years ago the 🍎 Long and Hodgman ads were really very good and clever, definitely creative, truly fun. Interesting how the subsequent careers of the two actors developed to be nearly the exact opposite of the companies they represented.
The 🍎🗞️ widget has suddenly appeared on my desktop - did I accidentally press something - or is this the U2 debacle reframed for 2024?

.. been thinking that myself - and when it happens how THAT will get spun into puke and bile.
