Last week’s quarterly planning session was really productive. I’ve already put the audio of the meeting into the Early Access podcast feed but if you’d prefer to watch it, here you go…

It’s not entirely clear whether or not Lufthansa is banning the use of AirTags in luggage stowed on their planes. It seems, however, they at least don’t like the idea.
I’ve been using AirTags in airline luggage since AirTags first showed up, and I plan on continuing to do so. Apple’s tiny tracker confirms for me when my luggage gets on the plane and then later gets off my plane. AirTags also come in handy to know exactly when my luggage makes its way to baggage claim and confirm that it doesn’t leave baggage claim without me.
I keep my luggage AirTags on the inside of my luggage, and I’ve never had a problem with reception. They come in very handy when traveling.
With me settling in at my new studio, Stephen and I use this episode of Mac Power Users to talk about our desk setups, what’s in our bags, and what we carry with us daily.

I hope you are heading into a week that Wayne Campbell could only call “Most Excellent.” This is a podcast-heavy week for me with us recording episodes of MPU, Automators, and Focused. I’m looking forward to Focused this week when we’ll be talking to Joey Cofone about Creativity…

My thanks to TextSniper for sponsoring MacSparky.com this week. TextSniper is a Mac OCR app that can extract text anywhere on your Mac’s screen and automatically save it to your clipboard so you can paste it anywhere you need it. It can even read the text to you. The whole thing works a lot like the built-in screen capture on the Mac, just way more powerful.
Moreover, in an era where so much software is more about data mining than giving you a service, TextSniper doesn’t collect your data. The text recognition is processed on your Mac and does not require an internet connection.
With TextSniper, you can:
I use TextSniper constantly. Anytime I need text from an image, TextSniper comes to the rescue. You can even use your iPhone or iPad camera to take a photo for TextSniper to perform its magic.
TextSniper works with macOS Catalina and later and also works with Parallels Desktop
Get TextSniper now and enjoy the fastest way to copy uncopyable text, wherever it may be. Use promo code TS2022 to get an additional 25% off.

It’s less than an hour until my Quarterly Review session with Early Access members. Below is my prompt list. I thought it would be a good jumping-off point for the call and hopefully give you inspiration for developing your own prompts…

Earlier this week, I did a live video event with Stephen Hackett where we shared the contents of our bags. It was fun, and an official shakedown event for Endor Studios! Either way, here’s the video where I spill the contents of my bag. Enjoy. (Links for items discussed are below.)
Waterfield Bags – (My bag from the video (Mezzo) is no longer for sale, but all of them are good.)
Corkcicle Star Wars Water Bottle
Here’s the video for last week’s Focus Modes in iOS 16 webinar. I had a lot of positive feedback from the live attendees. I hope you dig it.
