Whelp, one day of using Twitter Blue and I have to say that the Undo feature is useful and very well implemented. It’s subtle, not a pain, and has prompted me to proofread most of my tweets before hitting send.

Is that worth $3? Who knows.
Hilariously I’m tweeting this from the account that does NOT have Twitter Blue and so I expected to get a shot at proofreading that tweet and didn’t get it.

(Because you sign up on a per-account basis and currently can only sign up once per AppleID)
Anyways if this was all a ploy to get me using the official Twitter app again, it worked
How the Undo feature works: your normal banner that tells you your tweet was sent is now a button you can tap. It puts your tweet back in the composer, has a little countdown clock in the corner for when the tweet will send, and a Send Now button. Image

Warning: the following thread contains both audiophile wankery AND Billy Joel
I generally like Billy Joel. There might be some Stockholm Syndrome involved, since Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits Volumes I & II was the second compact disc I ever purchased and I got my money’s worth by listening to it a lot.
Don’t ask me why (ha ha) but my oldest, age 16, went on a Billy Joel kick for a while. He learned to play the Piano Man harmonica riff, that was his commitment level.

So anyways when the big audiophile hi-res digital Billy Joel Complete Albums Collection came out, I got it.

Here’s my take on it after a few days.

1) it works very well, is unobtrusive and well designed, and has saved me twice.
2) I don’t object to “power user” features having a cost — the service as it was continues to be free. SOMEONE has to pay the bill and ads alone don’t seem to be cutting it.
3) I haven’t tried the other two launch features but I’d need more overall to continue paying for Twitter Blue. But give me, say, the opportunity to decide what items go into my Activity feed? You can raise the price to $10.

It’s entirely possible to construct inclusive, funny April Fools pranks that everyone can enjoy.

Let me tell you about my favourite one.
At my old workplace there were a lot of computers and they were all exactly the same. Same model, same keyboard and mouse, same software on all of them, and most importantly, the same desktop picture: MacOS’ default mountains image.
The sameness was company-mandated. And since the computers were all communal, this made sense. I might have favoured one of the computers and always used it, but it was never going to be Aaron’s Computer.

I’ve started a new evening ritual: I leave all my technology inside except my Walkman, and I get into the hammock in the back yard and listen to an album from start to finish.

My cat has been curious about this new habit, and I’ve been trying to coax him into the hammock —
Tonight was some Rolling Stones — I’ve never really given them a fair shake, so I’m working through the Stones in Mono box set — and like clockwork, my big grey lump of a cat shows up. I make some space and start patting the hammock and asking him to jump up —
And to my delight, he decides to climb into the hammock! Except not in a very cat-like way. Huh.

At this point I should let you know that my backyard is very dark and I don’t see well.
