Yesterday I dropped the latest Lab Report podcast. If you’re not signed up for the Labs Podcast, you can do that here. Also, this week Endor Studios went vertical! Framing is largely done, and it suddenly all feels very real. I published a video this morning showing you the update…

The CHIPS Act is now law, injecting $52B into domestic chip production. Increasing US-based chip production is a swell idea. I wonder, however, if this act will actually accomplish that. I don’t write that trying to be clever. Building a domestic chip ecosystem is both important and extremely complex. Throwing some money at it may be a good start, but it is going to take more than that.
I haven’t said much lately about my oldest daughter, Samantha, but I’m immensely proud of her. In the last few months she completed her Masters in Education program and now is now about to launch her career as a high school teacher. She’ll be teaching Art and Art History at Hollywood High School. (Yup, that Hollywood.) The school hasn’t had an art/art history program in years, and she is building the program from the ground up. Those kids are going to be lucky to have Sam as their teacher.
One of the facts of life here in California is that most teachers buy a lot of their own supplies. Sam is starting from scratch, so we’ll be helping her gear up. If you feel generous and want to help a teacher, you can check out her classroom wish list here.

This month’s Friends of Dave interview is a special one. Sal Soghian (formerly with Apple, now working with the Omni Group) spent an hour with me doing a walk-through on how to set up and start using the new Javascript-based voice automation in OmniFocus. Sal has, in essence, created an entirely new user interface for OmniFocus, letting you fully control the app with your voice. Moreover, you can add your own custom commands. In this video, I share my screen and Sal walks me through the entire setup process. Watch this video with the current version of OmniFocus installed on your Mac and you’ll be voice-controlling within the hour…
