I have today off work, and I woke up over an hour before I normally would. I did not sign up for that.

Two blog posts in two days. What is happening with the world!?

I had been thinking about replacing one of my Amazon Echoes with a HomePod mini but Apple killing the HomePod has me thinking not to. How much of a future does HomePod mini really have?

I removed Jetpack from my Wordpress blog last week. When I posted this morning I realised I was using it to parse the markdown from my posts. Anyone got any recommendations for an alternate parser plugin?

It would be great if we could schedule the widgets that appear on the iPad home screen. In the evenings I don’t need to see my time tracking widgets but there are other ones which would be useful to see more prominently.

Speaking of proper native Mac apps. I wish there was one for Teams. The official app is a cludgy mess of a user experience, and it still doesn’t have native macOS notifications.

I really wish there was a native Sonos app for the Mac, one which responds my Mac in a similar way to the Apple Music app. If a call comes in then mute or pause my music, connect with the media keys so I can pause music with a key press if I need some quiet. Those kinds of things
