v8 - Anti-trustworthy

This podcast is dedicated to the brave men and women at the Department of Justice for taking bold and decisive action against a clear and present danger to the continued existence of the United States of America: Apple's use of green bubbles and how they make some Android users feel bad. Since the DOJ's lawsuit is all about vibes, send me your vibes—good or bad—and I'll be there for you. Who knows, if you choose to direct your energy to [email protected] , maybe I'll get lucky and finally feel s...

v6 - Pausing doesn't pause

[UPDATE: In this episode, I referenced Stripe having an IPO in the past tense. I was mistaken, they are not (yet) publicly traded. We regret the error. ] The audio is better this week! I'm learning. Also, I finally had something to talk about that has nothing to do with Apple! The target of the ion cannon that is my mouth this time? drumroll … it's Stripe! Sorry, Stripe. If you like rants about software quality and the systemic reasons everything is terrible, hoo boy! This one brings the heat. �...

v5 - Regressive Web Apps

Welcome to Breaking Change, the 14th most popular technology podcast in Argentina! (And 30th in Norway!) It's been a couple weeks since my last breaking change and, guess what, I done broke things again.

Nobody needs to know. Links and so forth: Open AI's Sora The firs...

v4 - Facial Computing

This podcast is a month old and four episodes in and the singular event looming over all of it has finally arrived! The era of facial computing has begun! Join me for a Vision Pro extravaganza in which I detail all of my first impressions using the device, including dozens of things that seemingly every media and YouTube reviewer missed or excluded. Listen to this podcast and you'll hear tell of bugs you wouldn't believe even if you did see them! The headline takeaway is: Apple Vision is clearly...

v3 - Core Technology Fee

Welp, Apple forced my hand and generated even more news in the run up to the launch of Apple Vision Pro and it demands a response! (Right?) As is so obvious and well-established that I forgot to mention it, you can e-mail me the show at [email protected] and maybe I'll find a way to work it in. Comments, questions, and complaints are all welcome!

v2 - Vision Pre-order

Heads up gang, there's a new breaking change with this release: my wallet is like $8000 lighter thanks to the Vision Pro preorders. As always as of a week ago, you can e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll read it silently in my head. If all goes well, I'll read it out loud, too. And everything works out, I may even read it out loud and into a microphone for the next show. Okay, let's dig into this latest version: What's new: I flew a little too close to the sun at Universal Studios Speaking o...

v1 - Initial Commit

I finally gave up and recorded a podcast. And now I'm writing show notes. I tried not to let this happen but here I am typing this and it's happening. Forgive me. This is a podcast for anybody who shares my interests and likes passing the time with a friendly, opinionated voice in their head. I have done thousands of hours of chores and errands over the years listening to mostly agreeable, sometimes interesting 1.5-3 hour podcasts to keep my mind busy. Now it's time for me to give back, I guess....
