My Sunday mornings look like this:

• Start a new blog post on Scribble.pages (this post!) about my morning routine for this Sunday.
• Get the weather outlook for the day, and the week. Currently -2°C here in Montreal, Canada, cloudy and freezing rain expected soon.
• Visit YouTube Studio dashboard and look for new subscribers, new comments to respond. One comment on my latest Craft-related poll, and the trend continues: two-third of respondent think that Craft is not confusing to use. I'm surprised by these results.
• Visit my Gumroad dashboard and look for new subscriptions to The Craft Bible. Nothing since March 24th. 😔
• Visit my Ghost dashboard and look for new notifications, and new articles in the feed. The latter was recently added as part of the social web integration initiative. Ghost is now more than a CMS. I'm not used to that just yet. I read and responded to an article from Spyglass about AI summaries from Bloomberg. I wonder if the author will notice as he is probably not used to Ghost's social web, yet.
• Visit my Micro.blog timeline and look for recent mentions. Nothing this morning. I'm probably getting 0-20 mentions a week. Scrolled the last 12 hours and commented on a few posts. 
• Look at my Tinylytics dashboard to see how my recently published article about data and privacy protection for Apple users is faring. According to these numbers, not too bad.
• Visit Craft community on Slack to get recent updates about the latest beta and see if anyone is poking me. A few did mention me as usual, on is from the Craft team about a bug I submitted. I should write more about Craft, but I prefer to stay quiet preferring to keep a low profile.
• Start thinking about how I'm going to spend the rest of the day. I do have the next edition of the Ephemeral Scrapbook in the works, but it is not complete and will probably go out next weekend. 

My coffee is so good. Have a nice Sunday! ✌🏻

1. I revisited my /nope page with more up-to-date things that I don't like.
2. I updated my About Me page hosted on Craft while working on preparing the migration off Craft to a stand-alone website built using Realmac Software Elements. Here's what it will look like.
3. Last week, I shared an updated diagram of my content creator ecosystem.
4. I got my first referral commission from the Fastmail referral program. The first of this kind. I never got one for Craft after being on their referral program for since its inception. You might like Fastmail too, btw, just like I do.
5. I like to spend some time nurturing these. It's fun. 

   

• I was trying to find a word that reflect my mood these days about the news and "resentful" came out from a prompt to ChatGPT. 
• I feel that way about what is happening in the US. I feel that way about what is happening in Ukraine. I feel that way about leaders who are getting away from their responsibilities. Speaking of which...
• I'm not happy with Apple these days, I'm not happy with Tim Cook. He seems more focused on printing money than building game-changer products. I don't buy their empty slogan anymore. Apple Intelligence could have been such product, but instead it is vaporware. It is unprecedented. When you pile this up with the general attitude of Apple toward their developers, we can see a trend that will tarnish the brand for many years to come. Apple should be looking for a new leader.
• Resentful is the perfect word. 
• Oh, I almost forgot, I feel resentful for the way Trump and his bunch of clowns are treating Canada, my home country. 

Some people own a town house and a country house and maybe a third house elsewhere in the world. Good for them. I'm one of those guys, except that my houses are built in the digital space, and I call those homes my blogs. 😌

Thinking that JD Vance speech in Munich was remarkable, is a lack of perspective and judgment. If he is not capable to read between the lines, that is sad for him, and I don't need this type of content in my daily flow. Bye bye. 

• Wow, that was fast. Where is my weekend??? 😩
• I'm quite happy with my creative work this weekend. I completed and published the latest edition of my newsletter and mostly completed my new personal and French blog. Official launch soon🚀, but not here, see next👇🏻. 
• A quick explanation about the chosen hosting service for my new blog: I wanted to be able to use a native Mac client for writing and posting, something that is not possible with Scribbles.page (yet? -- Vincent? I know you are watching this! 👨🏻‍💻). Micro.one is my hosting service of choice. Again. 
• This winter is particularly a cloudy one☁️; I'm lacking sunshine☀️. And this week it wild be really cold, like fuckin cold 🥶.
• Speaking of cold, I'm frozen and can't decide which Craft video should I do next. I had the whole weekend to find an idea and make it happen! But no... anyway. 
• Hey, I wish you a great weekend remaining! 

• Just started a Raycast Focus session to write this little /now blog post. This new feature from Raycast seems effective at blocking distractions.
• It's Friday, the weekend is coming, I'm not sure what I'm going to do from a creative hobby perspective beyond finishing my ephemeral scrapbook newsletter edition. 
• I should spend some time on Pixelfed, provided the instance can keep up, to post some new photos.
• Oh, I see, I must write my first personal blog post for my newly created French blog on Micro.one. I have many reasons for owning a little corner of the Internet, away from the silos (not to be confused with the Apple TV+ series mind you). I must educate my friends, not justify my decision.
• I used to write a series called Friday Notes, inspired by a series called Monday Note from Jean-Louis Gassée. He seems to have stopped publishing in his series, so did I in mine. Does he still publish? I can't find any recent articles. 
• I'm still liking Scribbles, but I tend to forget to post here. Sorry, Vincent. 😔
• I wish you a great weekend to you all!

We should know that we fail at using Gen AI when the prompt is much longer and take a long time to get right than the actual response we get.
