I truly loved Urchin — it was the best analytics system I’d ever seen, crunched your http logs and gave you great web stats. It became Google Analytics. Ever wonder why URLs today sometimes have the letters ?utm in them… it stands for Urchin Tracking Module! https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/689/187/174/529/912/original/6f359aa781b8f19e.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser More office cleaning. So many DVDs I don’t know what to do with. And wow they really went all out with that 2003 steelbook case didn’t they https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/685/226/922/584/729/original/13f28d09d1489e31.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser If it were up to me, Apple would create the world’s first “Do Not Train” registry. Enter your domain or web page, get a TXT record or meta tag to prove ownership, prevent Apple from using your content to train any LLM. Only a small percentage of sites would do it, I think, so the training impact would be low, but it’d be extremely meaningful for those people. And it’d be a valuable PR tool, brand booster, and competitor-shamer. (Bonus: make it open and encourage competitors to follow it.) npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser Think about it… https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/621/354/118/093/256/original/0ecac865dbf56cf9.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser I like in movies when they load guys in the back of an army truck and then, after closing the rear gate, someone slaps the truck two times as an “all clear”. That’s just really thoughtful npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser First three top-of-mind thoughts about Apple Intelligence: • I really wish they would have addressed the environmental story. That would help me personally accept these features more. But I know they can’t… because the story isn’t good. • I actually think a lot of it looks quite nice, feels Apple-esque, and the UI they’re doing is really cool • I remain viscerally repulsed by any AI generated art lol (In their Notes demo the sketch looked better!) True absolute star of the keynote: MathNotes npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser Here we go again! Another redesign caught in the wild — that’s #WildRedesign. I can't figure out why grunge/photocopy effects are making a comeback — what is going on?! Other than that weirdness, the new one (right) seems more balanced and the sun is significantly better. Do you agree? https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/570/842/219/168/308/original/1b91d2dbd52660a0.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/502/646/142/006/811/original/95e22c7c6c08a1ea.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser I think about this bundle ALL THE TIME https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/485/964/660/681/604/original/ebf33b137edda1ae.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser A powerful new ride spotted in Portland https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/451/374/847/088/101/original/ba82dca76d6a4dfa.jpeg https://social-media-cdn.panic.com/media_attachments/files/112/451/377/432/990/964/original/67f8aae163697d65.jpeg npub18kl7xs82r4lheev4sf97jy7lj52p2vhwalyhmw8fglyhczmxudks6qtz7y Cabel Sasser I feel like we can all just say “price” instead of “price point”. And “design” instead of “form factor”. Thank you 🙏
