Alfred, LaunchBar, Raycast, how is it I've never looked into Mac launchers before? Anyone have a favorite they'd recommend, why?

Apparently we’ve been under a tornado watch, but because I get so many notifications, I totally missed it. That’s the problem with notifications: with every app notifying about everything, none of the notifications are really important any more.

I'm traveling tomorrow and cannot find my meta glasses which I was really hoping to bring with me. While looking for them though, I did find an old harmonica. People at the airport are gonna love me, especially during my four-hour layover in St. Louis. 🙂

While attending #NFB25, I learned that Meta's Meta Quest apparently has a screen reader now. No idea how well it works or what apps support it, but the idea of having a screen reader in a VR device is really fascinating to me.

I cannot figure out how to create a homepage in WordPress, mine has some weird advertisement thing on it and I have no clue how to fix it. I tried changing homepage from custom to blog posts but it’s still there. Feeling pretty dumb as this shouldn’t be so difficult.

I wonder if we’ll ever see projects come to @geminiApp? Maybe I need to think differently, but how else to share context across multiple conversations? Gems maybe?

I’m really impressed with MacWhisper by Jordi Bruin. I used it to transcribe last night’s class. Even with Parallels VM and Xcode open it handled large files smoothly on my M2 MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM. #MacWhisper #AI #Productivity #MacBookAir

Running X on my Mac has introduced me to some very strange accessibility issues I’ve not come across before. I’m really OK if I never come across them again. :)

Particularly grateful this Thanksgiving I'm writing this on the first Thanksgiving in 29 years that I am not celebrating with my wife, Jenn. steves.life/2025/11/27/par…

I'm excited to be taking part in "Git Up and Running with GitHub," a course to show how to work with GitHub and Visual Studio more accessibly. It'd be great to feel like part of the solution rather than part of the problem. community-access.org/git-going-with…
