While this isn't exactly something every homeowner would buy, this ground-penetrating radar device could really help speed up construction and reduce the possibility of damage to utilities, so it could benefit us all. Plus, it's cool tech.

From iPad cases to lasers, from vibe coding to assistive devices, we finish up by throwing in a little bit of hacking of contacts to help with dictation, but not in the way you might think. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05...

Vibe coding is addictive, and I bring the receipts. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #VibeCoding

Enjoy diving deep down into the dark abyss that is Adam Engst's brain and learn how that brain influences his choice of dictation engines. He even hacks his Contacts database to fix non-contact dictation problems. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #Dictation

The lovely folks at Strapsicle sent a review unit of their new case (with silicone straps) for iPad mini to Bruce from Tennessee. While it's still on Kickstarter, Bruce will tell you what's to love about this unique case. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #iPadMini

If you have any security questions, you can post them in the Podfeet Slack in the Security Bits channel. I did just that, and @bartb.ie answers me in this week’s episode along with the usual security news and alerts. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #CyberSecurity

@bartb.ie and I are back with part B of #Programming By Stealth 184. The first installment was foundational instruction on how to tailor your CSS with SASS. Now, Bart goes through a worked example demonstrating the use of everything we learned in part B. pbs.bartificer.net/pbs184

I'm looking forward to the kitchens of the (near) future with Ki wireless power, and who doesn't love wireless charging?

We’ve got a cool new GIF app, poor Apple Health is worried about me, lots of fun stuff from Satechi, and a terrifying story of when macOS firmware goes bad. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #20YearsOfPodcasting

Want to up your game customizing Bootstrap? Learning to use SASS (a preprocessor for CSS) will make your job easier. @bartb.ie explains in Part A of PBS184 in this mammoth podcast episode. pbs.bartificer.net/pbs184 #Programming #CSS #SASS #Jekyll

Another installment of the long-running Tiny Mac Tips series: Show Inspector, Smart Folders (aka Smart Searches) and why you'd want them, fun with tabs in Finder & Safari, how to embiggen text windows in Safari, and use Terminal to pop up a quick calendar. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #macOS

Nobody wants a crown, but maybe if this gets off the ground, it would be a lot easier and faster.

I think Steve should have used this as the thumbnail image from this interview:

Allister Jenks talks Equinox Wallpaper, WORKX robotic mowers, Clicks Keyboard & I take a deep dive into Get Info. We finish up with a fun conversation with @adamengst.bsky.social about Digital Key 2 on the IONIQ 5 electric vehicle. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #20YearsOfPodcasting

Allister Jenks says Equinox Wallpaper Generator is the app you never knew you needed. But he's delighted with being able to create dynamic wallpapers that can change by time of day, the position of the sun, or appearance (dark vs. light mode). www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #macOS

I can't wait till we get to see these technologies in cars of the future.

If you’re new to the Mac, this article is for you. If you’re a seasoned veteran, I hope you get smug satisfaction saying to yourself, “I knew that!” … but maybe one or two small things will be new to you. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/05... #macOS thanks to @eclecticlight.co.web.brid.gy

7 people who calmed the 2024 Pro-Palestine Golden Gate Bridge protest are charged with felony conspiracy charges, including "false imprisonment”...people couldn't cross the bridge for a few hours. I'm proud of my niece, Sara, profiled in this article sfstandard.com/2026/04/30/g... #JusticeForGaza

Still not out yet, but the products look cool.

This guy was so much fun to interview. There's even a drinking game involved - take a drink every time he says "V-Slam"!

@bartb.ie builds on what we learned last time about CSS “Variables” and shows us how to use them to modify Bootstrap so our web pages and web apps don’t look like every Bootstrap page on the Internet. pbs.bartificer.net/pbs183 #Programming #CSS #BootStrap

This isn't a consumer product, but it's a sensational idea on how to better use current motion sensors to reduce energy consumption.

Another banner episode of the NosillaCast — packed with tech interviews, deep dives into tech products, and a discussion with my old buddy Joseph Nilo about OpenClaw. He’s not old; our friendship is old. You know what I mean! www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04... #20YearsOfPodcasting

If you really want to learn how to use the full capability of SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba, I can highly recommend my newly published video tutorial on ScreenCastsONLINE. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04... #VideoTutorial

The lovely @josephnilo.bsky.social of HiLo Media joins me to talk about how he’s using the agentic AI OpenClaw to speed up his work. We talk about the dangers inherent in using tools like OpenClaw and why he’s decided to do it anyway. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04... #OpenClaw

In my review of the ViewSonic VP2788-5K, I noted you can't control brightness from the keyboard. I learned this is true of most 3rd-party displays. The app BetterDisplay gives that control, & I now fully endorse the ViewSonic 5K display. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04... #BetterDisplay #ViewSonic

In this very fun installment of PBS, @bartb.ie teaches us how to use CSS “variables”, which aren't actually variables (they're custom properties). Theyallow you to take advantage of Bootstrap to style web pages, but make the look and feel all your own. pbs.bartificer.net/pbs182 #Programming #CSS

The Apple Studio Display is a great monitor, but the @viewsonic.bsky.social 5K display comes in at more than a $1000 less, and it’s really close in hands-on comparison. www.podfeet.com/blog/2026/04... #5KDisplay

This totally impromptu conversation with Jason was so much fun and shows off an inventive way that he does his video shorts!
