Writes things. Talks too much.

@geraint@mastodon.social Oh fun. I've alerted the authorities.
UK friends! This week, you can pre-order ETERNITY’S TOMB at 20% off *and* support local independent bookstores by using code PREORDER20 over at Bookshop.org! Why would you not? It’s a no-brainer! (Well, technically there is a brain in the book.) https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/eternity-s-tomb-dan-moren/2f1df51143d9bb6d?ean=9781915998026&next=t
RE: @sixcolors@zeppelin.flights
Apple continuing to ignore the notch on the MacBook display is dumb. But Bartender's trying to turn it into a Dynamic Island for the Mac, which is pretty cool.
Thanks so much to @ecschwarz@mastodon.social for having me on the latest episode of his podcast. Ton of fun walking down memory lane. https://schwarztech.net/podcast/2-dan-moren
On last week's episode of @rebound@hachyderm.io, @Moltz@mastodon.social and I were disappointed in the lack of Mac apps for managing GIF collections and apparently we made Lex do this.

This is awesome. I remember that first year we were writing about the iPhone at Macworld, and we had to either just take pictures of the screen with another camera or jailbreak it to be able to take screenshots.
After a longer than expected absence, your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights and Kat return to cover not two but *four* episodes of Maul - Shadow Lord. We discuss keeping car chases interesting, Inquisitor nomenclature and the five successful habits of Sith Lords. https://theincomparable.com/acp/110
@johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net Uhhh, $254.9B? I'd check that balance sheet again. :)
Maybe John Ternus is just TOO nice to be Apple CEO.
Hey, it's my birthday. No need for presents: just, as the guys said, be excellent to each other. But I guess if you *really* wanted to get me something you could preorder my next book, ETERNITY'S TOMB. Though seven months is a long time to wait for a gift, I guess. https://dmoren.com/eternitys-tomb
I convinced my wife, a PC user, to spend two weeks with the MacBook Neo. Here's what won her over and what didn't! (@sixcolors@zeppelin.flights members, you also get a bonus podcast episode with the two of us talking about it!) https://sixcolors.com/post/2026/04/a-pc-user-spends-two-weeks-with-the-macbook-neo/
Maybe Tim could engage on this. Open a dialogue. You know, the classic "I WANT TO DO A GENOCIDE" / "Maybe don't do a genocide?" debate.
When the Artemis II crew goes into their communications blackout, it'd be pretty funny if we all hid and then yelled SURPRISE!
I love that the Artemis crew really runs the gamut: the oldest person to leave low earth orbit since Apollo, the first woman to travel beyond low earth orbit, the first person of color to travel beyond low earth orbit, and, of course, the first Canadian to travel beyond low earth orbit.
In case you missed it yesterday, we coerced my old boss Phil Michaels to resurrect the Pundit Showdown—after more than a decade!—for our 650th episode of @clockwise@relayfm.social! Come listen to him put the question to me, @jsnell@zeppelin.flights , and @mikahsargent@mastodon.social. https://www.relay.fm/clockwise/650
On the downside, my attempt to finally move 130,000 emails out of my inbox is going to take until Monday night. On the upside, I've never been so productive.
Oh no, not again
RE: @sixcolors@zeppelin.flights
Looking back on 50 years of Apple through my own personal lens. Including some old pictures of me. 😅
Listening to classic rock, flirting with younger tech, buying flashy trophies—have we considered that Apple is just having a mid-life crisis?

NASA Vending Machine is coming back from outer space!
Hey you—yeah, YOU. You like saving money, right?
