Yeah.. I didnt last long on iOS 25 and iPadOS 25. Moving back to iOS 18.6 and I'll stop this cycle of going back and forth (thanks ADHD). I'm done with moving to an OS that I just don't like, I need to remember that I don't like it. Let's see how long I last this time.
Roadmap for WordPress 6.9, Block Bindings, Mega Menus, and More—Weekend Edition 336
Read onlineIssue #336 | August 2, 2025 Hi there, I found a new AI tool, and I like it very much: Claude Code. For $20 per month you get a fabulous buddy to co-create plugins and themes for WordPress or scripts and modules for other purposes. It works right there in your terminal window. It helped me a great deal writing a plugin for the Gutenberg Changelog podcast so I can build a great…
At this point it seems almost impossible to find an iPad YouTube video not sponsored by paperlike lol.
How am I supposed to be able to read yellow text on a grey background #ios26
Great looking lock screen though. That’s about all I like about iOS 26 at this point.

Guessing there’s no way to make these icons look better as in remove the white edges?
Don’t hand write notes into the Journal app on iPadOS 26 just yet
I’m testing the latest beta across my devices now, I’m not a huge fan of Liquid Glass but it’ll need to go on my devices eventually so I may as well start to use and report bugs. I was excited to try Journal on the iPad but it’s not great yet unfortunately. If like me you hand write notes using Apple Pencil then it’s not fit for purpose just yet.

It’s been a long week (and another one coming) but youngest bro arrived tonight so there’ll be fun times too. Tonight we played a little Bomb Busters together
Nothing like going into your pantry and find a raccoon hiding in there. Nothing like drinking #whisky and waiting for the raccoon to exit on a Friday night. Feeling a bit redneck tonight. #countryliving

I remain deeply impressed by the quality control on my curved Samsung Odyssey panels: they are all failing in the same way at the same rate: the glass is separating from the frame.
Where the Silence Begins
Eyes closed, she meets the weightless hush between sea and sky. Wet hair clings like memory, and the wind—unseen—holds her still. This is the breath after longing, the moment before return. She is both horizon and echo.

Looks like the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) either sold my email address or was hacked and the address was stolen. Either way, I'm now getting spam to that unique address. I've stopped sending them my weather data.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 30 – Fat Heads Head Hunter IPA (32)
What’s interesting is this is lighter and easier to drink brew without the citrus addition.
Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 29 – Fat Heads Head Hunter Jungle Juice IPA (209)
I was just telling my wife how refreshing a citrus IPA is, and look at what was on tap at Winking Lizard!
That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if ESPN can pull it off. #TheOcho

I am filing a police report because someone stole my handlebar-mounted headlight and cellphone holder off my #Bike yesterday while it was locked up at the train station. I have left my bike there dozens of times without anyone basically taking bits off it.
I don’t expect to get my stuff back but whoever did it is probably stealing stuff off other people’s bikes too, and will make a habit of it if they don’t get caught.
