Such a wonderful moment. Thanks T&T for asking me to officiate. It’s was a true honor.

A joyful crowd in Madison Square Garden watches as a Leo, a woman in a wedding dress, and a football player pose for a selfie in front of a sign that reads Just Married: Taylor & Travis.

MacBreak Weekly listeners: One of our providers (Megaphone) was down for 17 hours yesterday which caused a problem with Apple Podcasts. Some listeners trying to download the show yesterday were told it was paid only. Not on my watch! It’s fixed now. Try again and my apologies!

After a couple of (very productive) months using Claude code with Claude Max subscription I’ve decided to give GPT 5.3 Codex a try with OpenAI’s max subscription. It feels like a break up. Is that weird? I have to pack up all of Claude’s stuff and put it out on the stoop while Codex moves in.

"“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”" Words to remember even if, right now, the universe seems to be bending toward evil and chaos. I want to ignore the horrors of the global stage and focus on the local. What else... https://leo.fm/2026/01/04/the-arc-of-the-moral/
