Erika and I played this for way too long last night. It confirmed how much I know about Led Zeppelin and the later Beatles and how little I know about everything else. Great fun!

I control the mini-split in my home office with a Sensibo remote. Their iPhone app is fine, but I would sometimes rather control the unit from my Mac. Now I can, thanks to my new menu bar app: AC Slater. It controls your Sensibo-connected devices. That's it. lexfriedman.com/ac

Those of you who were eagerly awaiting Gnome for iPhone and iPad… the wait is over. apps.apple.com/us/app/gnome...

Couldn’t ask for a nicer review!

Gnome: An app that simplifies finding and sharing GIFs on your Mac. lexfriedman.com/gnome My goals: Make it easier to share GIFs, make an app that looks like it belongs on the Mac, make it work well with local GIF libraries, and make it good enough that Casey Liss would use it. Check it out!

Can you identify songs from your favorite bands in almost no time at all? Check out Gimme a Second: lexfriedman.com/gimme/ Also, a couple custom versions: Weirdle offers up only “Weird Al” Yankovic songs, plus originals of songs he’s parodied or used in polkas: lexfriedman.com/weirdle/

Would you send more GIFs from your Mac if sending them sucked less? Have I got news for you. lexfriedman.com/gnome

This is my favorite new game! It takes incredible swings because of random actions from rainbow squares.

My new Incomparable game show is live. Players get letters and have to make up what those letters stand for. Hilarity ensues! Check out Initial Here. It’s even got a great theme song. www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/280/

On Phonograph, I talk to @lexfri.xyz about of the golden age of podcast ads, and then I turn to @johnsiracusa.bsky.social and Casey Liss for the story of how Cards Against Humanity asked John to review a series of toasters as a performance art ad campaign. www.phonographpodcast.com/phonograph/2...

Crestfallen that you missed my webinar on negotiating better outcomes (e.g., making more money)? You can order the video. I’m like Blockbuster now. lexfriedman.com/webinar

I know some of you like to wait until the last minute. This is it! This is the last minute to sign up for my webinar on negotiating win/wins. lexfriedman.com/webinar

Apple News has one and several other good games. Lex.games is also good.

Fans of Scrabble / Crossplay / others of that ilk: Please check out my new game Tile & Error. The game that answers the question: What if you built a two-player crossword-building game, but added a healthy dose of chaos?

If your approach to negotiation is you start high and they start low and you meet in the middle… let me help you. lexfriedman.com/consulting/w...

Thanks to my fantastic panelists this time around, who totally never mock me: @kathycampbell.com, @thatchipguy.bsky.social, @shelly.brisbin.net, @montyashley.bsky.social, @annettew.bsky.social, and @tonysindelar.bsky.social, plus of course, my scorekeeper extraordinaire @lexfri.xyz!

Very pleased to share I'll be starring as Steve in "Jagged Little Pill" this June. Tickets: app.arts-people.com/index.php?sh...

I first met "Weird Al" Yankovic when I was 15, after I convinced his manager to let me interview him for the local newspaper.

No fooling: On April 1st, I'm hosting a new webinar on Negotiating Win/Wins. Many of us struggle with how best to approach negotiations. We leave feeling nervous, or worse, that we got taken advantage of.

“If you know, you know” is one of the worst tautologies out there. It is what it is.

Today, I published the 1,000th episode of Your Daily Lex. It's a lot like the first 999, I think. daily.lexfriedman.com

I hate how washed out my monitor makes my face look during video calls, so I made a tiny little Mac app to address my vanity. lexfriedman.com/cameraready/ Camera Ready is free and lets you pick a color palette to beam on your face so you look even better. You already look great, by the way.

Reserving a snow plow for Sunday's snowfall. As ever, I got quotes ranging from $120 to $670 to plow my driveway. Also, it's basically inevitable that the Sunday performance of "Same Time, Next Year" will get canceled, so show up Fri or Sat if you're able! www.algonquinarts.org/calendar.php...

Lex is one of those Friedman podcasters I feel like I already know. Now I just need something to ask him. But I do know know what @lexfri.xyz might ask you: to become a sponsor-advertiser on his comedy tech podcast that I adore and listen to weekly. reboundcast.com

Spent some time with my friends Alex and Greg and Chris.

About 1000 people saw the play I’m in this past weekend, “Same Time, Next Year.” Here are a few photos from the show, so you can watch me get older. Plus a screenshot of my favorite review so far. Four chances left to see the show next weekend. www.algonquinarts.org/calendar.php...

I start the play in my 20s. I end in my 50s. Dyed my hair brown to hide gray and then add gray while aging. Then I shower out the gray to make my hair look brown, even though… It’s gray. Anyway, I feel insane and may be having an existential hair crisis. Tix: www.algonquinarts.org/calendar.php...

Watch video. Buy tickets. www.algonquinarts.org/calendar.php...

“Same Time, Next Year” opens in 1️⃣2️⃣ days. If you live nearby, come! It’s a two-person play. You see us over the course of 25 years. It’s funny, sweet, and thought-provoking. It’s the hardest I’ve worked in scripted theater in a long time. And I think you’ll love it.
