I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random characters here for no particular reason

PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

Okay shiny black fingernails were fun but wow gel nail polish is really time consuming and messy to remove!

I just made a list of all my expected flights in 2023 and I am just *barely* going to hit @AlaskaAir MVP Gold status (40K) by the very end of the year.

How did I fly so much in 2019?? I hit Gold 75K status by April in 2019! 🤯

I cannot believe how hard it is to submit a podcast to Apple now. To submit a podcast, you need to sign in to Podcasts Connect with your Apple ID.

To get an Apple ID you need to verify an email address and phone number.

To "activate" your Apple ID you need to add a payment method and accept the Apple Media Terms and Conditions.

To accept the Apple Media Terms and Conditions, you need to log in with your Apple ID to an actual iOS or MacOS device.

I had a feeling ChatGPT might be a good application for this... I just uploaded a transcript from one of my course videos and asked it to create multiple choice questions based on the content. It did a surprisingly good job, and only requires minor editing to get the questions to make sense! This is going to save me a lot of time!

Scrambling to get all my work done today that requires power while we still have it. There's already a bunch of neighborhoods without power, I assume we're next.

Winds are gusting to 54mph today!! 💨

I like to think of myself as someone with strong file management skills, but in reality my workflow is like:

• shoot stuff on my iphone
• download drone clips to iphone
• when editing, search thru SD cards but find nothing
• scroll thru camera roll, airdrop clips to computer

AI is cool.

I just finished recording and editing 20 new video lessons for a course.

Uploaded the videos to Sonix and it created a (mostly) accurate transcript.

Uploaded the transcript to ChatGPT and asked it to create a summary of the lesson for the landing page!

I've been editing and reviewing these videos at 2x and now when I play them back at normal speed it sounds like I am talking soooo sloowwww
