- 418: ‘Putting a Stink on the Letter X’, With Craig Hockenberry
Craig Hockenberry returns to the show. Topics include Apple’s new hardware this week — M3 iPad Airs, A16 regular iPads, M4 MacBook Airs, and the M4 Max and surprising M3 Ultra Mac Studios. And we go deep on The Iconfactory’s years-in-the-making new app, Tapestry — a universal timeline for the Internet. Exclusively sponsored by: Google Gemini : Chat to supercharge your ideas. Unofficial but surprisingly good transcripts . Links: Daring Fireball posts of note: “ Apple Updates iPad Air (M2→M3) and Regular iPad (A14→A16), and Revamps Magic Keyboard for iPad Air ”. “ Apple Announces, With Little Surprise, M4 MacBook Airs ”. “ Apple Announces, With Much Surprise, Mac Studios With M4 Max and M3 Ultra (!) Chips ”. From January: “ Openvibe, a Multi-Social-Network App for Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads (Supposedly), and Nostr ”. Tapestry : “Weaving your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline.” Craig, on the Iconfactory blog: “ Enter Tapestry ”. Cheryl Cicha, also on the Iconfactory blog: “ Tapestry: Past, Present, and Future ”. Tapestry Connectors — an open, easy ( documented !) extensions API. Fefes Blog — you’ll have to listen to the show to understand how this is a Tapestry-related link. But trust me, it’s a good story. It starts with this thread on Mastodon , which begins like a great novel: “It’s becoming clear that XML in RSS is the preferred tool of sociopaths.” Molly White: “POSSE” (“Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”). Technology Connections on YouTube: “ Algorithms Are Breaking How We Think ”. The Iconfactory : Linea Sketch — “a lightweight digital sketchpad for your iPad”. Wallaroo — fun new wallpapers every week, for iOS and Mac. Tot — we didn’t mention this brilliant little notes app on the show, but I use it every day. iPulse — a nerdy system monitor, with Iconfactory fit and finish. Runs in the background even on iOS. Project Tapestry’s year-ago successful Kickstarter campaign . Andre Torrez’s Tyke , the inspiration for Tot. This episode of The Talk Show was edited by Caleb Sexton.
