It's good to know someone with a good 3D printer. @johncongdon.bsky.social printed me this awesome stand for my HomePod mini.

Someone uploaded all the Jeffery Epstein documents to Gmail clone and it's awesome. JMail, JPhotos, there's a Drive, and JFlight section as well. Very well done. https://www.jmail.world/

End of an era. The Black in Ocean Beach is closing after 57 years. I lived in OB, and The Black was a landmark. A piece of San Diego counterculture that somehow survived all the changes around it. Gonna miss that place.

I talked about this on the last podcast but couldn't remember that is was called. Thanks to @johncongdon.bsky.social I now know it's called Pasabolo Tablón which is a traditional Spanish bowling sport popular in Cantabria, Vizcaya, Álava, and Burgos.

I am not sure who needs to hear this, but if you are an @ohmyz.sh user and you are not using the `take` command, you are doing yourself a disservice. Next time you need to clone a repo, do a `take `. I'll wait.... and you're welcome.

We are having another one of our "Mystery Guest" episodes for this week's @phparch.com Podcast. The mystery is how we let this person talk us into letting them on the show. Come check it and hang out with us at 3 PM PST (about 35 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlNXoKdH8jQ
