So the new Keyboard Maestro replaces Hazel, sweet.

It’s 9:30a and I have hit 5 of 12 standing goals for today. ????

We are making fun of Verge today? You guys are supposed to DM me when that happens. Shit.

My “Best” page finally has a table of contents, still a shit show of design: https://brooksreview.net/the-best/

Dear Portland,

Fuck this heat.

Oh. Hey it says my sites channel is available in Apple News, but I don’t see it in there.

For those of you who have been pestering me: the SSL cert for my website is updated and no longer tosses errors in Chrome.

iCloud Drive deletes files for sure, OS X also deletes files when I randomly unplug my external harddrive mid-transfer.

Wowzer: https://instagram.com/p/5NqAx8tlZQ/

That marks post number 7,000 on my blog. Huh.

LOL at all the sites trying to meet their previous commitments of finding the “good” deals today. Amazon trolled you hard.

New home screen. Got it all down to the CGP one screen. http://ift.tt/1TvsxIH

Did I mention I got a new knife? So I gotta add that to the writing list.

Oh man. So nice to have iOS 9 on my iPhone now.

Here’s a thought: tell advertisers you don’t accept their JavaScript bullshit anymore. I mean it’s a thought.

Nope, pretty sure all ads are shitty. Can’t wait to block all ads on my iPhone too.

So am I going to have to write my own WordPress theme for a photoblog, or is there something also like Koken.me out there?

I hope apple news gets better, it’s a shit show right now.

Hmm, what do you think this article is related to? Hey, I got it!

Guys, what picture should we use for “business”, oh I know:

Oh, I have a thing for my newsletter though.

Vacation makes it abundantly clear how many email newsletters you need to unsubscribe from.

Currently working on a way to filter out annoying RSS sponsors.

This Bullet Ruck is perfect, what a great bag. Even my wife remarked it was great.

Disney notes: my Apple Watch is more useful, comfortable, and less sweat prone than this “magic” band.

Why would anyone choose to live in this climate?

Watch face = Mickey.

Vacation time.

I really dig the new Music app, and iTunes icons.

Hey Netflix the add profile button the iPad app is stupid big. My kids just keep making profiles. Who needs a button there for that‽

Nice, I can now “Tweet” directly from Keyboard Maestro.

Hit send on message. iPhone crashes. But by all means praise a new radio station.

I’ve decided to not post on Spoken anymore, instead just posing short audio right on my own site. Such as: https://brooksreview.net/2015/06/the-quiet/

I see Droplr shit the bed on that last post.

Fun with SEO experts:  

Let’s just break this down for a minute:

Monkey is named: George

Human is named: Man in Yellow Hat, or just “Man” depending.

Sloane and I picked out her first backpack today. She was/is way into it.

According to my feeds today:

1. Marriage fuck yeah.
2. The Deck really, like really, needs some sponsors.

Top tip for the day: El Capitan makes things like Bartender irrelevant. But in doing that, menubar apps that require you to drag something on them break.

Seriously. How the hell does my wife take some of these photos. Insane.

You guys ever seen someone eat raspberries with ketchup. Because I have.

I have. And it is gross as fuck.

My MacBook review should be coming through the paywall shortly, for the impatient become a member. 😉

Lots of anti-confederate flag movements today. Is this what a turning point feels like?

So my buddy Shawn launched something called The Foc…

Hey, SQUIRREL!

Oh, right: http://ift.tt/1btkKdz

Mid to upper 90s for the Pacific Northwest end of this week into next week. Fuck that.

I bet the other twelve Taylor Swifts on Twitter feel like schmucks today.

Why wait until tomorrow? I’ll just hit publish now.

Will be posting my MacBook review tonight/tomorrow morning. Just posted better context on how I use computers as a primer for you.

If any of you make a Spoken-like plugin for WordPress, let me know. I would love to use it.

It’s about ethics in music streaming royalties for the extremely rich.
