Stephen Robles spent the week of WWDC 2026 at Apple Park, and I spent it running betas on a slightly scratched iPhone Air I grabbed off eBay. He sat two rows behind Tim Cook during Craig Federighi’s post-keynote tech talk. I sat at my…
Listen & read notes →The New Siri Doesn’t Suck
I got beta access to the new Siri AI and the first thing I asked was, “Can you check the weather for where I’ll be this weekend?”. I’m going on vacation. I never told Siri that. It read my calendar, figured out I’d be…
