Just when Menu Bar apps started working correctly in Golden Gate, Apple releases 27.2 and breaks them all again.

I also added some new sounds to Instant Fail Me.

In case you missed it, I created a timeline on some important events in Hip Hop history.

When you ask Proton’s Lumo about CEO Andy Yen firing people who don’t use AI enough. Can’t make this up.

In case you are like me and were unaware until today, a new Halloween Special of Last One Laughing UK started dropping. First 3 are out on Prime video now.

Not a good day for St. Louis sports.

Man, I love Celebrity Traitors. I don't usually go for reality or competition shows, but with funny British comedians and the money going to charity, it's so fun.

ST. LOUIS CITY WIN THE 2026 U.S. OPEN CUP! The first trophy in club history. Daniel Edelman scores the game-winning penalty.

Open cup winners! #AllForCITY

Alex Mâțan left training early yesterday and is unavailable tonight in the @opencup.ussoccer.com Final. Long term outlook unknown as of now. But Sangbin steps into an attacking role in his stead and has 2g in 3 USOC appearances this year. #AllForCITY

City SC fans filling the South side of the stadium

"But X is so much fun."

Is it time for a Sports Night rewatch? I think so.

I should be embarrassed to admit this, but it was a bad week and I needed it. I am completely caught up on both series of The Celebrities Traitors UK. Such a good show.

People hate on the HomePod Minis, but I love them. I’ve been using single ones as an Apple TV speaker in my office and my bedroom. I had some Apple gift cards, so I purchased two more. Now I’ll have a stereo pair in each room. I’ll probably put the new ones in my bedroom.

Finally jumping on The Celebrity Traitors: UK bandwagon. I’m addicted.

lol embarrassing for the dodgers.

Following tonight’s result, St. Louis CITY SC has now recorded the longest unbeaten streak in all competitions in MLS history at 21 games, eclipsing Red Bull New York in 2016 (20 games).

Why is Scott Bakula at the City game?

I wanted to get a new Apple TV since the one in my bedroom is out of support this year. At $300, they may have just lost me.

$300 for an Apple TV now. Apple has lost the plot.

The latest Spider-man was long, but good.

Cleveland advances

Understand that the data center they want to put in the middle of your neighborhood is a hard target for modern drone warfare in the 22nd Century. Maybe think twice about pissing all over our nearest neighbors and shoving DCs in every neighborhood.

If you use Backblaze and are on macOS Golden Gate and don’t see the Menu Bar icon, open the following: /Library/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzbmenu.app. You can drag it to your login items to have it start when you login as well. Just a workaround until an update is available.

Has the ref already lost control of the USA/CAN game? #usmnt

I really want a Retroid Pocket Nova. The BatleXP is good for Game Boy style games, but the screen is too small and my hands get too cramped for anything past Super Nintendo/Sega really.

I thought Mexico was supposed to be good at soccer or something. #usmnt

Blues are down 6-0. Time to cancel my Blue Note+ subscription. (Kidding)

I haven’t launched the Plex app on my iPad in a while. Holy shit, what did they do to that app? It is awful now. Might be time to switch to Jellyfin.

USMNT fun.

Toem 2 comes out tomorrow. Can’t wait to play.

RIP, Mr. B.

More dumb fun for people in their 40s. The Askewniverse.

Kurt Vonnegut got some company today with a new Mr. Rogers.

More dumb fun, because, why not? The Bayside Hall Pass.

I accidentally changed the language on my BatleXp to Chinese and could not figure out how to get back to change it. Took a picture of the menu options and had Siri translate them. I’m glad that worked.

Saw Clue with my sister last night.

New theme alert, Newsprint, for Sports on TV Now. There’s also a dark version.

I felt like I was being watched on my walk with Spike this morning.

My sister had an extra ticket to see Clue at the Fox. Can’t wait to see it.

Added the fictional movies mentioned in Seinfeld to The Seinfeld Dictionary. I also added some Easter eggs. If you don’t want to discover them all on your own, there’s a link somewhere on the site telling you how to access them all.

I was bored one weekend. I have no idea why I made this, but I did. F1 Races in 16 bit.

WTF?

500 contributions.

Tried and failed the first couple of attempts at blocking bots that were using up my API calls for Sports on TV. Changed the approach from detection to just capping stale data refresh API requests per minute, so now no matter how much traffic there is, the cap should never be hit.

Breaking: Hot Sundae will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran.

Breaking: Wyld Stallyns will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran.

Wake up, babe, Make Some Noise season 5 trailer just dropped.
