Tinkering with CSS on manton.org. Doesn’t make a dime, but it’ll always be my most successful product. 14 years, 1500 posts.

With Twitter acquisition rumors, I’m encouraged by this: not a question of “if” more people will embrace indie microblogging, but when.

Four years ago today, I posted my last tweet from @manton on Twitter. Still feels right to let that account stay frozen.

With a name like Pixel, shouldn’t there be a version of Google’s phone with a screen smaller than 5 inches? Nice that they have a sense of humor about the headphone jack, though.

Hope I don’t jinx it, but I have a good feeling about today. Even though my lazy morning trip to Starbucks backfired when the first stop was out of cold brew iced coffee.

Back home after a great week in Indianapolis for Release Notes. We published Core Intuition 252 this morning, talking about the conference, Twitter rumors, and whether subscriptions are right for MarsEdit.

Great to see the Release Notes conference supporting App Camp For Girls again. Anyone can donate: releasenotes.tv/appcamp4girls

Ignored the internet and paced in front of the TV while watching the debate. But I shouldn’t have worried. Hillary was prepared.

Finally saw the new Peanuts movie. Delightfully well-adapted from 2d. Going to complete the animated movie weekend with Laika’s Kubo.

iTunes on the Mac feels like it has finally turned a corner. Pretty lightweight UI now if you use Apple Music and ignore sync and everything else.

A reminder for Mac and iOS folks in Austin: NSDrinking is on for tonight. 8pm at Ginger Man. Also published Core Intuition episode 251 today.

Working a little in Apple’s Motion this week. Really impressed with this app. Reminds me of tinkering with Adobe After Effects back in the classic Mac OS days.

Tuning in to listen to Hillary’s speech today. Great message. How ridiculous is it that we aren’t sure she will win? 50 days, folks.

Sports TV networks cut away when a streaker runs on the field, looking for attention. Time to do that for Trump’s free airtime. Sounds like the media has had enough of being played.

Just posted episode 250 of Core Intuition. Daniel and I talk about iPhone 7 buying decisions, whether products should ship with defects (jet black), iMessage in iOS 10, and old Mac OS X windows and controls.

Ten years ago today, I published a podcast episode about San Francisco. I had recorded a bunch of sounds while visiting San Francisco, then edited it together with other audio and added narration. Brings back memories listening to it again.

Apple’s vision for the future is wireless audio. Yesterday they also released Beats EP headphones with a 3.5mm cable. The future is far off.

Just posted episode 249 of Core Intuition with our reaction from today’s Apple event. Spoiler: I love Mario and hate Lightning headphones. We also discuss the upcoming App Store cleanup.

Not convinced by Apple’s spin on Lightning-only audio. But I’m glad they include the adapter in every box. I blogged a couple months ago that they should to this.

Apple Watch series 2 looks like a solid upgrade. I’ll skip this generation, though. Still use my original Apple Watch every day and love it.
