  • I added a custom domain for my status log, but now I’m wondering if it makes more sense for my (omg.lol) Now page? Anyways, it’s at angelo.today.

  • Ordered an iPad mini from Apple’s refurbished store on Saturday, and it was supposed to be delivered this Thursday.

    I’ve just received it, two days early.

    That’s always a nice surprise!

  • I’m back to using Moleskine’s TimePage as the primary calendar app on my iPhone. It’s not quite as well featured as others, but it works great for my on-the-go needs, and goddamn is it ever stylish.

  • Looks like this afternoon is gonna be… interesting.

    A screenshot from the Weather Network showing the forecast of “superstorm” likelihood in the St-Lawrence valley. Montreal is rated “sever likely” and should expect hail, high winds, and perhaps even tornadoes.

  • Free app idea for anyone interested:

    Class Action Tracker

    I’ve been added to so many class actions over the last few years that I have to keep notes now.

    (Also, free business idea for corporations: stop screwing your customers so we don’t have to organize and sue you.)

  • Forest fire-related smog is very bad in Montreal today. Carbon monoxide is at 1500 —300+ is considered hazardous.

    Our air purifiers are really working hard. 😷

    A partial screen capture of the air quality report in the Carrot iPhone app, showing a total AQI of 214, or “very unhealthy.” A breakdown of pollutants shows that the main contributor is carbon monoxide.

  • Every time I see an “Apps Made in Quebec” round-up on the App Store, I always think, “maybe this time they’ll include Thought Detox!”

    And I’m always wrong. 😂

  • Me, seeing that Tool is playing in Montreal in November: 😃

    Me, seeing that floor ticket prices are C$700: 🤬

    (Remember when you could afford going to see arena-sized concerts?)

  • “Whatcha doing? Wanna play?”

    A monochrome photo of a black-and-white long-haired tuxedo cat perched atop a dresser, facing the camera head-on, his head cocked slightly to the right with a quizzical look on his face. His tail is dangling off the side of the dresser.

  • I guess Thought Detox is coming to iPadOS 17, now that we have HealthKit on iPad. 🙂

  • I’m pretty much all-in on Arc as my primary browser at this point. I’ll admit, I’m still only using a fraction of its features, but it’s already a really nice experience.

    (I wish it didn’t further Chromium’s hegemony, yeah, but I understand the choice from an ecosystem perspective.)

  • Highway speeds plus Quebec potholes equals no driving until I get a replacement tire installed on Monday. 😑

  • It just works.

    A screenshot from the Home app on iPhone showing the HomePod detail sheet. The subtitle to the sheet says, “Playing” but the media transport controls below are blank and an informational message says, “Not playing.”

  • The fact that I can’t migrate posts from one Mastodon account to another used to bug me a lot, but I’ve made peace with it—and understand the complexity constraining the feature.

    It does, however, mean that I treat the platform as though content and instances may suddenly disappear without warning.

  • In contrast to my Mac’s battery life, my iPhone 12 Pro’s battery life is far from “all-day” — I’m often around 25% by the end of the work day.

    (The bigger battery is one of the main reasons I’m considering an iPhone 15 Pro Max Ultra Superbiggo when it’s released this fall.)
