In about 20 hours, I'm chatting with The Changelog guys about Apple's WWDC announcements. Send your takes so I can incorporate your thoughts into the show! podcast@searls.co
This fucking fish
Felt extremely stupid not knowing how to pronounce this fish.
Asked waitress. She didn't know
Neighboring elderly couple next to me didn't know.
Sushi chef across counter didn't know.
Took three staff members to identify it as "isaki"
Was an incredibly validating moment
If Apple does decide to curry some nerd favor by introducing a DeX-like desktop mode for iPhone, the thought that I could travel and code with an iPhone, Xreal glasses, and portable keyboard is extremely appealing.
Startup bros can be insufferable, but I suppose if I lived in San Francisco I'd be really focused on exiting, too.
We are Rainbow
These gummy candies are the first rainbow-themed things I've seen so far this Pride Month.
(I bought them. They were good 🌈)

If you've been following me for the last few years, you've heard all about my move to Orlando* and how great I think it is. If, for whatever reason, this has engendered a desire in you to join me in paradise, now's your chance. An actually great house has hit the market in an area where high-quality inventory is exceptionally limited.
Beautiful house. Gated community. Golf course. Lake access. Disney World.
How else do I know this house is good? Because my brother lives there! He's poured his heart and soul into modernizing and updating it since he moved to Orlando in 2022, and it really shows. I suspect it won't sit on the market very long, so if you're interested you should go do the thing and click through to Zillow and then contact the realtor.
As our good friend/realtor Ken Pozek puts in his incredible overview video, this house comes with everything except compromises†:
* Specifically, the Disney World-adjacent part of Orlando
† Okay, one compromise: you'll have to put up with living near me.
If American universities continue to see enrollment decline so precipitously, don't be surprised if in 2050 we're having to explain to young people that the teams in the NCAAF football league used to be associated with schools.

Video of this episode is up on YouTube:
Spoiler alert: I'm in the same country as I was for v37, but this time from a different nondescript business hotel. Also: I have good personal news! And, as usual, bad news news. I don't get to pick the headlines though, I just read them.
This episode comes with a homework assignment. First, watch Apple's keynote at 10 AM pacific on June 9th. Second, e-mail podcast@searls.co with all your takes. I'd love your help by informing me where my head should be at when I show up on the Changelog next week.
And now, fewer links than usual:

Since Poolside's (now Poolsuite) iOS app slowly fell apart over the last few years, summer hasn't felt like summer without it. Out of nowhere, a brand new rewrite is out today—and it's a screamer.

I mean no offense to Addy here, but isn't most of this advice banal and obvious? How much of "prompt engineering" is just basement-dwelling incels being told they finally need to learn how to communicate effectively? addyo.substack.com/p/the-prompt-engineering-playbook-for
