Hey, it's my birthday. No need for presents: just, as the guys said, be excellent to each other. But I guess if you *really* wanted to get me something you could preorder my next book, ETERNITY'S TOMB. Though seven months is a long time to wait for a gift, I guess. https://dmoren.com/eternitys-tomb
I love that the Artemis crew really runs the gamut: the oldest person to leave low earth orbit since Apollo, the first woman to travel beyond low earth orbit, the first person of color to travel beyond low earth orbit, and, of course, the first Canadian to travel beyond low earth orbit.
When the Artemis II crew goes into their communications blackout, it'd be pretty funny if we all hid and then yelled SURPRISE!

This is awesome. I remember that first year we were writing about the iPhone at Macworld, and we had to either just take pictures of the screen with another camera or jailbreak it to be able to take screenshots.
Hey, you. Yeah, you. You look like the kind of person who likes a good deal. Well, until Friday, you can pre-order my upcoming sci-fi heist caper, ETERNITY'S TOMB for 25% off at Waterstones. Just use code SUMMER26. https://www.waterstones.com/book/eternitys-tomb/dan-moren/9781915998026
Maybe Tim could engage on this. Open a dialogue. You know, the classic "I WANT TO DO A GENOCIDE" / "Maybe don't do a genocide?" debate.
On the downside, my attempt to finally move 130,000 emails out of my inbox is going to take until Monday night. On the upside, I've never been so productive.
In weird coincidences, my kid is almost *exactly* as old today as I was when Steve Jobs announced the Macintosh.

NASA Vending Machine is coming back from outer space!
This is my new favorite instance of book marketing spam. Ah, yes, the line that really stuck with you is THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK.

Apple continuing to ignore the notch on the MacBook display is dumb. But Bartender's trying to turn it into a Dynamic Island for the Mac, which is pretty cool.
Listening to classic rock, flirting with younger tech, buying flashy trophies—have we considered that Apple is just having a mid-life crisis?
Hey you—yeah, YOU. You like saving money, right? Well, right now you can preorder my new novel, ETERNITY’S TOMB, for 25% off at Barnes & Noble, along with *any other preorders*, so basically you should buy a lot of books. Use code PREORDER25. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/eternitys-tomb-dan-moren/1149558305?ean=9781915998026

Looking back on 50 years of Apple through my own personal lens. Including some old pictures of me. 😅
On last week's episode of @rebound@hachyderm.io, @Moltz@mastodon.social and I were disappointed in the lack of Mac apps for managing GIF collections and apparently we made Lex do this.
Thanks so much to @ecschwarz@mastodon.social for having me on the latest episode of his podcast. Ton of fun walking down memory lane. https://schwarztech.net/podcast/2-dan-moren
After a longer than expected absence, your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights and Kat return to cover not two but *four* episodes of Maul - Shadow Lord. We discuss keeping car chases interesting, Inquisitor nomenclature and the five successful habits of Sith Lords. https://theincomparable.com/acp/110
UK friends! This week, you can pre-order ETERNITY’S TOMB at 20% off *and* support local independent bookstores by using code PREORDER20 over at Bookshop.org! Why would you not? It’s a no-brainer! (Well, technically there is a brain in the book.) https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/eternity-s-tomb-dan-moren/2f1df51143d9bb6d?ean=9781915998026&next=t
In case you missed it yesterday, we coerced my old boss Phil Michaels to resurrect the Pundit Showdown—after more than a decade!—for our 650th episode of @clockwise@relayfm.social! Come listen to him put the question to me, @jsnell@zeppelin.flights , and @mikahsargent@mastodon.social. https://www.relay.fm/clockwise/650
Oh no, not again

Maybe John Ternus is just TOO nice to be Apple CEO.

@geraint@mastodon.social Oh fun. I've alerted the authorities.

@geraint @jeremyburge @expresstransit I think it was a priority for me to not have removable adapters I have to deal with.

@rickplayswarr@mastodon.social Hmm. Haven’t seen them. I’ll double check my spam filter when I get back to my computer. Sorry!

@victor I mean, I always advocate people support indie bookstores. If you’ve got one near you I bet they’d be happy to order a copy too! Check out Bookshop.org and it can help you find a local. https://bookshop.org/p/books/eternity-s-tomb-dan-moren/2fbd86899ab11eff

@Daytonlowell@mastodon.social Unfortunately I don't think so. Older seasons availability is spotty at best. :/ It might show up somewhere at some point.

@rickplayswarr@mastodon.social @acp@zeppelin.flights @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights I notice those were both sent to “theincoparable.com” so I think I found your problem. 😉

@rickplayswarr@mastodon.social @acp@zeppelin.flights @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights Hmm. Email or social media? I just may not have seen it.
