If you're a podcaster... or know a podcaster... or want to be a guest on more podcasts... you really need to take a look at show.fm. Had a thorough walkthrough yesterday (thanks @wpbuilds and @danmaby). Blown away 🤯. I want to start a podcast now!

We had a lot of fun in this one! @MarcBenzak hijacked Nathan Wrigley's @wpbuilds podcast! wpbuilds.com/2026/10/15/485-…

Hey @comcastbusiness making your modem/routers so that the only way to change the SSID is through your stupid app which gives IT people full access to the account may be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Hey @TMZ I don't typically watch you although I know your reporting is generally accurate, but the way you set your stage for your newscasts seems contrived and... weird. If you want natural look of colleagues talking, do it in tbe break room with people walking in and out.

Listening to a lot of classic rock lately and realizing that Walken was right. More cowbell. Definitely more cowbell.

Maybe humans fear AI deciding that humanity is a problem because, deep down, we already know there is a case to be made. What frightens us may not be that AI would misunderstand humanity, but that it would understand us too well.

Nothing says stability like ousting someone and then reinstating them a couple days later... awesome optics.

Gemini just corrected me on a text message I was sending to Gina with updated information. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I just became the "Get Off My Lawn" guy and called in a noise complaint on our neighbors. When you cannot even hear anything in your own house, it's a little loud. And they did not even invite us to the party!

I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of this. It is pretty amazing if Nathan does say so himself!
At the risk of repeating myself, I'm launching an app for podcasters really soon. If you're podcasting, or thinking about it, you should sign up for early access. Honestly, it's pretty cool, and will save you heaps of time - nathanwrigley.com/podcast-ap…

It's one thing to put your oxygen mask on first so you can help others. It's another to suck all the oxygen out of the plane. Stop using this analogy as an excuse to amass more wealth and simply admit that you're greedy.

Well - I guess ChatGPT knows me better than any other AI. When talking about different options for a product, it recommended one because "I have a demonstrated inability to leave an extensible system alone." It could have just simply said that I was curious.
