First up! I launched a new website, FindYourTag, that lists all devices that support Apple’s Find My Network, the crowdsourced location-tracking system accessible via the Find My app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. This includes Apple’s own AirTags—now available in a 2nd-generation model—and audio hardware, as well as a few dozen trackers, eyeglass cases, and esoteric form factors from third parties that go through Apple’s Find My certification program. This serves as a complement to my book Take Control of Find My and AirTags, which is impossible to keep up to date with Find My Network items! (I receive affiliate fees from purchases made via Amazon and some other site links.)

The campaign for Flong Time, No See, my new collection of expanded and updated reported essays on type, printing, and labor history, hit its funding target and the campaign concluded at Kickstarter. However, you can use the Late Pledges feature to reserve a book or other rewards, including flong—yes, flong!

Next, I’ve got a new book out that should help anyone trying to suppress attention-grabbing alerts, silence audio, and otherwise define a period of work or play using Apple’s Focus feature. Take Control of Focus walks you through the ins and outs of everything that wants to interrupt you on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch, and how to silence, defer, or disable alerts, sounds, and other interactions when you don’t want them. I include coverage of the complicated but useful Sleep mode, which lets you set a schedule and, via an Apple Watch, closely track your sleep cycles.

Next, I appeared on a recent episode of The Incomparable Mothership, talking with my co-panelists about William Gibson’s Count Zero. We had a great discussion about the book, where it fits in the history of sci-fi, and some of its eerie accidental predictions—Gibson never pretended to be writing the future, but he got it awfully correct.

Even more recently, Jason Snell, Dan Moren, and I talked as three Jeopardy! players about Jason’s recent appearance on the long-running syndicated game show!

Finally, I joined the Clockwise podcast to talk about coding with AIs, the future of macOS, checking TSA line wait times at airports, and my embarrassing home Wi-Fi setup.
