This will only affect new installs, not current players

\n

What you need to know

\n
  • League of Legends may not work with macOS Catalina on release.
    • \n
  • Riot is unsure of compatibility due to broad release date.
    • \n
  • The issue will not affect users who have the game already installed, only new downloads.
    • \n

Riot games has announced that users may not be able to install League of Legends on macOS Catalina upon its release. Riot has said that due to the "broad release date" of Catalina they are unsure as to whether the game will be supported. In a post yesterday it said:

\n
\n

Due to the broad release date, we don't know if Catalina will support League of Legends and TFT on Mac devices. If you know a Mac user who might be interested in League of Legends or TFT, get them to install it as soon as possible to be safe!

\n

Existing players with League of Legends on their Macs will not have any problems or changes with League of Legends when Catalina rolls out. The game will patch normally and players will be able to play as they have been!

\n

At this time and with what we know, people will not be able to install League of Legends on their Mac devices on Catalina. So in the meantime, if you know someone who is interested in installing League of Legends, they should do so before Catalina debuts in October OR not update their macOS to Catalina until they do.

\n

We do not currently have an estimated timeline for when Catalina will be able to support League of Legends, but we will update players as we get a clearer look at its release date.

\n
\n

It's important to note that this could affect both League of Legends and spinoff Teamfight Tactics, which requires the LoL client in order to play. To recap, the issue will not affect any players who already have the game installed. So, if you are a LoL player with the game installed, there's nothing to worry about. If you're about to jump into the game for the first time on Mac, Riot strongly recommends that you should download the game before you install macOS Catalina (whenever that is released).

\n

As noted by Riot, it is unclear at this stage whether this is going to be an issue when Catalina is released. It is also unclear at this stage how long the problem might persist if indeed it does take effect. Most recent reports suggest Catalina could be released Friday, October 4, however Apple is yet to confirm a release date.

    • \n
  • The feature was announced for testing in August.
    • \n
  • Search DMs by user names, informal names and message content.

Twitter has rolled out a brand new feature for its iOS app, which means you can now search through your Direct Messages to find conversations. Twitter announced the move via... erm... Twitter yesterday.

\n

The service was previously announced in August and Twitter has been testing it on iOS since then. The new feature will allow users to search through their Direct Messages. Typing in any keyword will bring up results for Twitter user names, their informal names and conversation content much the same way searching through your iMessages does on iOS. This means you can now track down any direct message conversation you've had on Twitter by searching for the person you had it with, or something specific that you talked about.

\n

The news comes in the wake of another Twitter announcement confirming that its DM abuse filter has also been pushed to everyone.

What you need to know

\n
  • Apple has updated Swift Playgrounds for iPadOS 13.
    • \n
  • New features include Dark Mode and SwiftUI.
    • \n
  • There is also new Learn to Code experiences.
    • \n

Swift Playgrounds now lives in the dark.

\n

Apple has updated its Swift Playgrounds app, an iPad exclusive, for iPadOS 13. Reported by 9to5Mac, the new changes in Swift 5.1 include Dark Mode, the ability to build with SwiftUI, and new Learn to Code lessons. The app's page on the App Store details all of the new updates:

\n
  • Use the new dark coding theme when running Dark Mode in iPadOS 13
    • \n
  • In Learn to Code, help Byte and friends explore their world at night when using Dark Mode in iPadOS 13\n• Build with the SwiftUI framework in new playgrounds you create\n• Includes Swift 5.1 and the iOS 13 SDK
    • \n

\n

If you've ever been interested in coding and own an iPad, Swift Playgrounds is a fantastic way to get started. The app is built by Apple and designed to teach you Swift code, Apple's own code language that continues to gain traction as the go-to language when coding apps for Apple's devices. In fact, use of swift code has reportedly doubled from iOS 12 to iOS 13. No matter how you are getting started, Apple has built Swift Playgrounds for you:

\n
\n

"Swift Playgrounds requires no coding knowledge, so it's perfect for students just starting out, from twelve to one-hundred-and-twelve. The whole time you are learning Swift, a powerful programming language created by Apple and used by professionals to build many of today's most popular apps. And because it's built to take full advantage of iPad and the real iOS SDK, Swift Playgrounds is a first-of-its-kind learning experience."

\n
\n

The new version of Swift Playgrounds is available today in the App Store.

Speaking of Halide, version 1.14 is out and has some sweet UI ideas for the 3-camera system on iPhone 11 Pro. Ben Sandofsky:

\n
\n

At a glance, our lens switcher looks the same as before; we kept\nit in the same spot so it doesn’t interfere with your viewfinder\nand is within easy reach. Keeping the viewfinder clear of any\nobstructions is one of our highest priorities.

\n

It works similarly, too, at first glance: just keep tapping to\ncycle between 1x, 2x, and 0.5x sizes.

\n

Unfortunately, switching cameras has a bit of a delay. If you’re\ncomposing a shot and want to compare the 0.5x and 1x lenses,\ncycling past that 2x lens feels slow and clunky. No sweat. Haptic\ntouch (or in common parlance, long press) the lens button to bring\nup our lens switcher.

\n
\n

This is a really clever bit of UI, very well-implemented. And part of that, as Sandofsky notes, is that it never obstructs the viewfinder.

From The Verge’s story on Deep Fusion, coming in iOS 13.2 beta 1 (which, I’ve been informed, is now scheduled to drop tomorrow or maybe even later this week, not today as originally planned):

\n
\n

With Deep Fusion, the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro cameras will have three\nmodes of operation that automatically kick in based on light\nlevels and the lens you’re using:

\n\n
\n

Until yesterday, I was under the same impression as the above. But Sebastiaan de With — co-creator of the excellent iPhone camera app Halide — pointed out on Twitter that Night Mode only works with the regular wide-angle lens. You can shoot with 2× zoom with Night Mode, but when you do, it uses the wide angle camera and digitally, rather than optically, zooms to the 2× field of view.

\n

You can see this yourself in the EXIF data. Shoot an image using Night Mode at 2× zoom, and look at the lens information in Photos on the Mac. It will say “iPhone 11 Pro back triple camera 4.25mm f/1.8”. That’s the wide-angle camera. The telephoto camera is “6mm f/2”, and the ultra-wide is “1.54mm f/2.4”. (The front-facing camera is “2.71mm f/2.2”.)

\n

0.5× always uses the ultra-wide camera, because you can’t get that field of view otherwise. 1× always uses the wide angle, because that camera has the best sensor and fastest lens. But 2× doesn’t mean you’re always using the telephoto camera — in low light it will use the wide-angle camera and digital zoom. Previous iPhones with dual camera systems have done the same thing in low light conditions, but a lot of us — myself included — made the wrong assumption about Night Mode and “2× zoom”.

    • \n
  • The single was highlighted by Apple Music on Twitter.
    • \n
  • It is the first single off the upcoming EP set to be released in November.
    • \n

Listen to "Something Has to Change" on Apple Music.

\n

Earlier this year, indie act The Japanese House released its first major album, Good At Feeling. But if you thought it would slow down the flow of new music, you were wrong. The Japanese House is back with a new hit single.

\n

In case you are unfamiliar with The Japanese House, it's not a band as the name suggests but a solo act Amber Bain. He hails from Great Britain and has been manning this project since 2015.

\n\n

"Something Has to Change" is the first new single off its upcoming new EP of the same name that will come out in November. Apple Music likes to spotlight artists on Twitter, and it did so with The Japanese House.

\n

The single is an upbeat anthem that is a great follow up to its last music that was more contemplative and atmospheric. It has a strong synth backdrop with catchy lyrics.

\n

If you haven't given The Japanese a shot, give "Something Has to Change" a listen on Apple Music. It might end up being your new favorite musical act.

From The Verge’s story on Deep Fusion, coming in iOS 13.2 beta 1 (which, I’ve been informed, is now scheduled to drop tomorrow, not today as originally planned):

\n
\n

With Deep Fusion, the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro cameras will have three\nmodes of operation that automatically kick in based on light\nlevels and the lens you’re using:

\n\n
\n

Until yesterday, I was under the same impression as the above. But Sebastiaan de With — co-creator of the excellent iPhone camera app Halide — pointed out on Twitter that Dark Mode only works with the regular wide-angle lens. You can shoot with 2× zoom with Night Mode, but when you do, it uses the wide angle camera and digitally, rather than optically, zooms to the 2× field of view.

\n

You can see this yourself in the EXIF data. Shoot an image using Night Mode at 2× zoom, and look at the lens information in Photos on the Mac. It will say “iPhone 11 Pro back triple camera 4.25mm f/1.8”. That’s the wide-angle camera. The telephoto camera is “6mm f/2”, and the ultra-wide is “1.54mm f/2.4”. (The front-facing camera is “2.71mm f/2.2”.)

\n

0.5× always uses the ultra-wide camera, because you can’t get that field of view otherwise. 1× always uses the wide angle, because that camera has the best sensor and fastest lens. But 2× doesn’t mean you’re always using the telephoto camera — in low light it will use the wide-angle camera and digital zoom. Previous iPhones with dual camera systems have done the same thing in low light conditions, but a lot of us — myself included — made the wrong assumption about Night Mode and “2× zoom”.

Janie Larson writes about being bullied, and you should read it.

\n

It’s natural to wonder who the bully is and who the conference organizers are — but I’m resisting the temptation to spend any time on it. It’s not a puzzle to be solved. Janie’s explicit that she doesn’t want this to result in anyone getting harassed, and she doesn’t want to start a feud. Respect that.

\n

Instead, she talks about the human cost of being bullied, and she presents a guide for handling bullying — which is written especially for people witnessing it.

\n

Even if you think it’s unlikely that you yourself will ever be bullied (and you might not think that), it’s worth remembering that you might see it happen to someone else. I hope you and I would do the right thing.

What you need to know

\n
  • The Temper Trap's breakthrough album Conditions debuted ten years ago.
    • \n
  • The album produced the super catchy hit "Sweet Disposition."
    • \n
  • Songs from the album were feature in 500 Days of Summer and FIFA 10.
    • \n

It spawned the hit "Sweet Disposition."

\n

Back in 2009, if you were paying any kind of attention to music, then you probably at some point heard The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition." The mega hit song was one of the transformative songs that hit the airwaves that year. It was off the band's transformative debut album Conditions that launched their career into a whole new level.

\n

It's been ten years since the release of Conditions, so let's look back at the album's legacy.

\n

Before their big break, The Temper Trap was formed in Australia where they roamed around for a few years in anonymity with only EPs to their name before they recorded their debut album. That album was Conditions, which they recorded from 2008 to 2009.

\n\n

The first single off the album was "Sweet Disposition" and it put the band on the map. The super catchy song utilized a strong rift, lively drums and soaring vocals by frontman Dougy Mandagi to create a melodic rock anthem that just caught on. One thing that truly helped the song was being feature in the cult hit 500 Days of Summer that has since become one of the most iconic romantic comedys of all time.

\n

The other major hit from the album was "Science of Fear" which gained a large followed after being featured in the FIFA 10 soundtrack.

\n

The Temper Trap continues to make music to this day, but whenever you search them nowadays, the first song that shows up is "Sweet Disposition." It's also constantly featured in best hits of the 2000's playlists on music streaming service and rightfully so. No great playlists from the this era is complete without The Temper Trap.

\n

You can listen to the entire album on Apple Music.

What you need to know

\n
  • Chromatics have released a surprise album called Closer to Grey.
    • \n
  • It's the band's seventh studio album and follows 2012's Kill for Love.
    • \n
  • You can listen to Closer to Grey now on Apple Music.
    • \n

Fans of Chromatics are being treated to a nice present tonight: The band is releasing a new studio album called Closer to Grey, their first in seven years. It follows 2012's lauded Kill for Love.

\n

According to Pitchfork, Closer to Grey comes in addition to Dear Tommy, another album Chromatics announced in 2014 but hasn't been released.

\n

Closer to Grey tracklist:

\n
\n

01 The Sound of Silence
\n02 You're No Good
\n03 Closer to Grey
\n04 Twist the Knife
\n05 Light as a Feather
\n06 Move a Mountain
\n07 Touch Red
\n08 Through the Looking Glass
\n09 Whispers in the Hall
\n10 On the Wall
\n11 Love Theme From Closer to Grey
\n12 Wishing Well

\n
\n

At the time, the band said Dear Tommy would be out in 2015, but a full album never came out. Instead, the band released multiple singles between February 2015 and May 2018.

\n

Closer to Grey is apparently being referred to as the band's seventh studio album, which means Dear Tommy could still be number six. Kill for Love was the band's fifth record.

\n

In any case, Closer to Grey is slated to be available on Apple Music at midnight Eastern on Wednesday, October 2.

I have a bully.

\n

Not a sexual harasser or a rapist or a men’s rights activist. A good old fashioned playground bully.

\n

I have mostly kept this story to myself for over a year, but I don’t feel I can continue to do so. It is destroying my peace of mind and making me feel terrible. I tried to ignore my feelings about this, hoping they would go away, but they have not. I need to share my story in order to move on from this.

\n

I’m not posting this because I want anyone to do anything about this specific incident. I just want people to listen and to understand.

\n

The Beginning

\n

My first interaction with my bully was back in 2015. 2015 was the first year I really got into conference speaking. I had finished up school the year before and conference speaking was the only way I had to network and get my name out there in order to find a job.

\n

I was invited to speak at a conference in 2015 by a friend of mine. As many of you know, I used to be in an abusive marriage. My previous husband would not allow me to have money to buy textbooks while I was going to school for computer programming. My friend sent me books, watched my first shitty conference talk while it was being live streamed, and used his connections to try to help me find a job.

\n

My friend did this when I was nobody. I wasn’t an author yet. I didn’t have a blog. No one knew who I was. He helped me because it was a kind thing to do and he had no expectation that I would ever become anything. To me, the way someone treats you when they don’t get any benefit from it means a lot. I see way too many people who only network with people who are more visible than they are and tell anyone just starting out to fuck off. I don’t like those people.

\n

I was invited to speak at a conference my friend was organizing, but I could not make it because I found out my ex-husband had put us significantly in debt. I felt very sad about not being able to go.

\n

My friend also invited my bully to the conference. My bully could not go for different reasons than I had. They were very vocal about how unhappy they were with my friend regarding his handling of his conference. They started a Twitter mob against my friend and started a whisper network around him.

\n

I felt some loyalty to my friend after his working to help me before I had a career. I kept hearing people at conferences say how terrible it was that he was being attacked, but no one said anything. I was probably dumb, but I put my neck out to defend my friend because no one else would. I understood that my bully would be unhappy about my defense and I really did the best I could to say this whole thing was probably a misunderstanding, as is wont to happen when people communicate online.

\n

After I posted that post, the talk stopped. I thought I made a difference and got people to leave him alone. I now realize it’s probable that people were still talking about him, but that I had shown myself to be untrustworthy and thus no one included me in these conversations.

\n

I knew there would probably be repercussions for my actions, but I figured I did the right thing and I would feel morally okay with whatever the blowback was.

\n

2018

\n

Four years passed and I didn’t feel the blowback. I noticed I was never invited to a conference my bully was speaking at, but that was fine. I didn’t really care to interact with them.

\n

My luck ran out in 2018.

\n

A talk of mine was accepted at a conference. I had to spend nine months working on it. It was incredibly labor intensive, but I was happy to have the opportunity to speak.

\n

Three weeks before the conference, I saw that the conference organizers announced my bully would be a keynote speaker at the conference.

\n

I wrestled with what to do. I hadn’t had any contact with my bully in four years. I half hoped my bully had forgotten the whole incident and found someone else to be mad at about something. I thought about approaching the conference organizers about the situation, but I thought that would be petty. My bully hadn’t done anything so what would I complain about? What could they even do about it?

\n

I found out.

\n

Six days before the conference I was contacted on the conference Slack by the organizers telling me that they had to talk to me and had set a meeting for 10:00 the following morning. I kind of joked that I hoped I hadn’t done something wrong. They repeated that I was required to speak to them tomorrow morning at 10:00. They would not elaborate what had happened or what we would be speaking about. I had a sinking feeling this was about my bully. I was right.

\n

The organizers, looking like police interrogators, told me there had been a complaint about me. They said they did not want to hear my side of the story because they didn’t care and would not believe me. They told me they had stringent conditions I was required to follow if I was to be allowed to keep my slot at their conference:

\n\n

I was dumbstruck. I was not surprised my bully had complained about me. I was surprised at how I was being treated by the organizers. I considered them to be friends. I had had them to my house and they had slept under my roof. They met my parents and I had fed them food I made myself. I considered this to be a deep transgression of my hospitality and relationship with them.

\n

My initial inclination was to tell them to fuck off and that I would not attend their conference. I felt that this would have looked bad professionally. I spent nine months working on my talk and it could not be replaced easily. I was also bringing my now-husband with me. He had bought a conference and a plane ticket. I didn’t feel I could tell him that he wasted that money because I was being petty.

\n

So I swallowed my pride and faked my way through the conference. I spent most of the conference hiding in my room with my husband. I came out for my talks and for meals. I briefly saw my bully as I was taking my dog outside to walk her and I was terrified that they would complain about me violating the terms of my parole and have me kicked out before I could give my talk.

\n

The biggest thing that bothers me about this situation is that I had reported harassment two years earlier, the first time I attended their conference. Someone at the conference touched me inappropriately and tried to get me to take them back to my hotel room to have sex. I reported the incident and they didn’t believe me. They told me it was a misunderstanding, the perpetrator was European, and that I had misunderstood his intentions. I had to physically demonstrate on one of the organizers how I had been touched for them to take it seriously.

\n

So like sexual assault is just fine, but just make sure you don’t defend someone on Twitter? I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone about that incident either. My bad.

\n

Aftermath

\n

I tried to tell myself that none of this is important and that I didn’t care. I felt deeply foolish for thinking these people were my friends when they clearly didn’t feel that way about me. I felt like I had been conned and was too stupid to realize it until it was too late. I was angry about the number of hours I wasted working on their projects and I wanted that time back.

\n

I broke my agreement to not talk about this incident a few times with a few trusted friends in the community. Any time I tried to obscure the name of my bully, they always immediately knew who it was. No one I told was surprised any of this happened. They were always deeply sympathetic and told me that everyone knows how this person is.

\n

Imagine my shock to see my confidants going out of their way to socialize and interact with my bully. I would see them having long involved conversations on Twitter or being asked to collaborate on their side projects.

\n

I called one of them out about this. I reminded him about how I had been treated. His response was, “Yeah, but that has nothing to do with me. I can be friend with both of you and be Jonny in the Middle because I’m basically Switzerland.”

\n

At first I tried not to let this bother me. I didn’t want to tell my friends they had to choose between me and a bully because that seemed shrewish. Also mostly because I know that my side would not be chosen. But the longer this goes on, the more this bothers me.

\n

All of these people know this person is a bully. They know this person’s behavior is terrible. Conference organizers know that this person will ruin them on Twitter if they don’t do everything the bully says. So why do they keep giving my bully a platform? Why do they keep inviting the bully to speak and give them power and visibility? Why do they knowingly stick their neck in a noose and then punish anyone who threatens a situation where it might cut off their air?

\n

I kept thinking that one day someone would catch wise to this situation and they would stop inviting my bully to speak, but it hasn’t happened. I realized that it’s not because people don’t know this person is a bully. It’s because people don’t care. They don’t care that this person treats people badly because they get something out of interacting with them.

\n

That’s the piece that clicked into place that really made me feel I needed to talk about this. I knew my bully had mental health issues. Not that it’s an excuse for behavior. I don’t blame them for complaining about me to the conference organizers. I expected them to. I would not be surprised if my bully used their clout to keep me away from any conference they were at for so many years.

\n

The people I do blame are the ones who know this is happening and do nothing.

\n

I don’t know how I can continue to be friends with people who knowingly associate themselves with an abusive bully. I don’t know how they can feel that it’s okay for someone to ruin people’s lives as long as it’s not theirs.

\n

I also keep thinking about how this was how I was treated when I WAS A SPEAKER!! I keep thinking of all the people this bully might have damaged who didn’t have the clout/visibility I do. What if I had been an attendee? A student? How many people have had their careers damaged or left the community because they ran afoul of this person? We’ll never know.

\n

What Do I Want Out of This?

\n

Here is what I DON’T want out of this:

\n\n

I do want two things out of this. The first thing is I just want to talk about how this made me feel. I feel deeply angry and hurt by this situation. I have bottled this up for over a year and I am tired of it. I kept telling myself I had no right to feel upset about this because there are kids locked in concentration camps along the border and the world is slowly microwaving to death. Being slighted at a conference is the most First World Problem there is. Also, I may be in the wrong here. What if I did something terrible and I was told not to tell because it would look bad for me? I know I should get over this and if I just keep trying to be a good person and ship projects that in the long run this doesn’t matter. But I feel I have the right to my anger and my pain regarding this.

\n

I want to be clear that I didn’t expect the organizers to tell my bully to fuck off. I was pretty sure my bully would complain about me, but I wish the organizers had handled their interaction with me differently. Instead of treating me like a pedophile caught next to a playground, I wish they had privately reached out and been like, “Hey, look. Someone complained about you. We know you’re cool. Do you mind just like avoiding them so that they don’t cause an incident?” I would have been like, sure, no problem. See you next week. They chose instead to completely burn our entire personal and professional relationship. It wasn’t necessary. They chose to do it. That kind of stings.

\n

I want to get over this. This is a festering wound that never heals and constantly reopens over nothing. I don’t trust people who were my friends. I don’t feel comfortable or trust anyone anymore. I am consumed with a desire to become so powerful that no one can ever fuck me over like this again. I hate feeling this way. I want to build things that make me happy. I want this to not bother me anymore.

\n

The second thing I want out of this is for people to realize there is no neutral position in a situation where someone is being bullied or harassed. If someone is being bullied because they disagreed with another person’s behavior towards someone else and they are being harassed, you don’t get to sit there and think, “Sucks to be them! Should have keep their mouth shut!” and still be a good person.

\n

There is a somewhat large subset of people on Twitter who feel that any kind of disagreement with them constitutes harassment. It does not. Hating someone isn’t justification for complaining about their presence at a professional event.

\n

How to Handle Bullying

\n

Here’s a handy guide to dealing with bullying.

\n

If you see someone being harassed, you gently insert yourself into the conversation and you tell the harasser that their behavior is inappropriate. The harasser must back off and apologize and the incident is over. There is no retaliation or blame from either party. It’s just over.

\n

If you see someone try to step between a harasser and someone else who is also being harassed, you don’t sit back smugly and think they should have kept to themselves. You step in and also assert that this behavior isn’t acceptable.

\n

This works even in the situations where people are afraid of being called out as creepy or socially awkward. If you are bothering someone and you don’t mean to, the person just wants the behavior to stop. Someone lets you know that you are bothering another person, you apologize, and you leave them alone. Kindergartners understand this. Had I been asked to apologize to my bully but be allowed free range of the conference, I would have been happy to do so. But the point was retribution not fear.

\n

Bullies are allowed to act the way they do because most people sit back and let it happen because they figure it’s nothing to do with them. It is to do with you. If you sit back and let people behave this way, you’re contributing to a hostile environment. Your friends see when you sit back and let them be treated like crap. They remember. They pretend it doesn’t hurt them when you tell them later that what happened sucked but you didn’t want to get involved, but it does. You are hurting your friends when you let them be harassed.

\n

We can’t do anything about the concentration camps along the border or the inevitable heat death of the Universe, but god damn it, we can make our community a little bit more welcoming and friendly place for everyone.

What you need to know

\n
  • PDF Expert has been updated with iOS and iPadOS 13 support.
    • \n
  • That means all of the new hotness is included.
    • \n
  • Dark Mode, multi-window, and PencilKit support are all here.
    • \n

Editing PDFs has never been so fun or looked so great.

\n

Popular PDF editing app PDF Expert has been updated to add support for all of the new hotness that iOS and iPadOS 13 offer up. The update is free and available for download now.

\n
\n

After the public release of PDF Expert 7 back in August, our team has been busy working on readying the next set of major features to be shipped in the app. PDF Expert 7 is the biggest release of PDF Expert to date, bringing in a ton of features and improvements to your PDF experience on your iPhone and iPad. Today, we're delighted to introduce the new PDF Expert with some exciting new features and powerful experiences made possible by iOS 13 and iPadOS for iPhones and iPads.

\n
\n

Like so many of the other apps that have been updated in recent days, PDF Expert now supports Dark Mode. Not only does that look great, but the theory goes that it will also be less harsh on your eyes. If you're a secret midnight PDF editor, this update is for you.

\n

Developer Readdle has also included support for PencilKit, improving the way Apple Pencil owners will interact with documents on-screen. Speaking of interacting on-screen, new gestures are also included to make it easier than ever to work with your PDF of choice.

\n

For the true productivity fiend Readdle has also added support for multiple windows. This is multitasking at its best with two different documents open side-by-side. Comparing versions of files or just taking notes while editing a PDF are just two of the situations where having multiple PDF Expert windows open at a single time can be super helpful. But hardcore multitaskers won't need us to tell them that!

The Apple CEO is currently traveling around Europe.

\n

What you need to know

\n
  • Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down for an interview with German publication Stern
    • \n
  • Cook talked about the iPhone 11, Apple TV, and more.
    • \n
  • Cook is currently on a tour of Europe.
    • \n

It's been a busy few days for Apple CEO Tim Cook, who has met with developers, visited retail stores, and enjoyed oversized beers during his trip to Europe. In the midst of all that, Cook sat down for an interview with German publication Stern, where he discussed the iPhone 11, Apple TV+, and accusations of anti-competitive behavior.

\n

When asked about the iPhone 11's price, Cook said Apple always tries to price its products as low as possible.

\n

"We always try to keep our prices as low as possible, and fortunately we were able to lower the price of the iPhone this year," Cook said.

\n

The iPhone 11's price was actually one of the bigger surprises of Apple's September event. Unlike the iPhone XR, which retailed for $749, the iPhone 11 starts at $699, even though it features a more advanced dual-camera system, A13 Bionic chip, and massive battery.

\n

Cook was also asked about Apple TV+ and how he sees it competing against services such as Netflix.

\n

"I do not think the competition is afraid of us, the video sector works differently: It's not about whether Netflix wins and we lose, or if we win and they lose. Many people use multiple services, and we are now trying to become one of them," Cook said.

\n

Finally, Cook briefly talked about the numerous antitrust lawsuits aimed Apple's way.

\n

"No reasonable person would ever call Apple a monopoly," Cook said, arguing that Apple faces strong competition in every market it's active.

\n

On his latest stop, Cook was at Apple Champs-Élysées, where he said he dropped in on a Today at Apple photography session.

\n

In June 2019, Apple announced that its new map would cover “the entire U.S. by the end of 2019”[…]

With this latest expansion, Apple’s new map now covers 27.5% of the U.S.’s land area...and almost half of its population (47.2%)[…]

Deep Fusion is a technique that blends multiple exposures together at the pixel level to give users a higher level of detail than is possible using standard HDR imaging — especially in images with very complicated textures like skin, clothing or foilage.

\n

[…]

\n

According to Apple, Deep Fusion requires the A13 and will not be available on any older iPhones.

\n

As I spoke about extensively in my review of the iPhone 11 Pro, Apple’s ‘camera’ in the iPhone is really a collection of lenses and sensors that is processed aggressively by dedicated machine learning software run on specialized hardware. Effectively, a machine learning camera.

\n
\n

John Gruber:

\n
\n

Deep Fusion only works with the telephoto and regular wide lenses — it does not work with the ultra-wide lens. Because of that, Deep Fusion is not compatible with “Photos Capture Outside the Frame”, because the outside-the-frame content is usually captured with the ultra-wide lens. So I think we now have two reasons why “Photos Capture Outside the Frame” is not turned on by default[…]

\n

[…]

\n

Deep Fusion is not a mode or even an option like Night Mode is — it will simply apply automatically when the Camera app thinks it should.

What you need to know

\n
  • Apple recalled some 2015 MacBook Pro models.
    • \n
  • A British travel photographer's machine is one of those recalled.
    • \n
  • He hasn't had it repaired yet and now he can't fly.
    • \n

There are worse places to be stuck than Vietnam.

\n

A British travel photographer finds himself stuck in location in Vietnam after it turned out that his 15-inch MacBook Pro was one of those recalled by Apple. The problem is he didn't get the work done, and now no airline will let him fly.

\n

According to the story in The Independent the photographer was invited to work in Vietnam by a travel company. The flew there on an Air France airplane with his MacBook Pro in his carry on luggage. He even made two domestic flights with Vietnam Airlines without issue, but when he tried to return home via the same airline he was told that he couldn't take the notebook with him. At all.

\n
\n

At first they said 'don't switch it on during the flight'. But then security decided to say a flat 'no' to me taking it on the aircraft.

\n
\n

When it was suggested that the MacBook Pro remain in Vietnam while the man flew home to Europe, he refused. Apparently it was just too important to leave behind.

\n

Instead, he's now waiting for a replacement battery to be shipped out from Singapore so his machine can be repaired. That can take up to two weeks, apparently. Which we imagine is quite the inconvenience.

\n

Apple recalled some 2015 15-inch MacBook Pros earlier this year and ever since we've seen various airlines and aviation authorities take different stances on the situation. It may also come down to whether the security officials at the airline and check-in desks are fully up to speed as to whether an affected machine is allowed onto a flight, too.

NaNoWriMo is next month, and I will continue my streak of not participating in it. I’m super-impressed by the people who do, though.

\n

It would take me a month of hard, solid work all November to decide on an idea to write about, then another month to think it through some more — or two months, really, because the holidays get in the way — and then about a year of nightly work to decide on a plot outline and characters and tone, and then another year of refining that outline, and then, by NaNoWriMo 2021 or 2022, I’d be ready to start writing. I suspect I’d average about 300 words a day, which would get me about 9,000 words for the month — which is well less than a novel or even the 50,000 words goal.

\n

I blog instead.

NaNoWriMo is next month, and I will continue my streak of not participating in it. I’m super-impressed by the people who do, though.

\n

It would take me a month of hard, solid work all November to decide on an idea to write about, then another month to think it through some more — or two months, really, because the holidays get in the way — and then about a year of nightly work to decide on a plot outline and characters and tone, and then another year of refining that outline, and then, by NaNoWriMo 2021 or 2022, I’d be ready to start writing. I suspect I’d average about 300 words a day, which would get me about 9,000 words for the month — which is well less than a novel or even the 50,000 words goal.

\n

I blog instead.

The fourth open house to discuss options for the redevelopment of the large National Guard Armory site in Interbay is tonight (Oct. 1) at the National Nordic Museum.

\n

The state-owned site, located just behind the Whole Foods on 15th Ave W in Interbay, is being considered for redevelopment as it’s no longer an ideal location for the National Guard. The open house will be held by the Washington Department of Commerce Interbay Public Development Advisory Committee at the Nordic at 6pm.

\n
\"\"
\n

The advisory committee is tasked with studying possible reuses for the National Guard Interbay site, assuming the Guard will be able to relocate to a new site. The Interbay site was built in 1974, and the facility has been deemed insufficient. According to the Department of Commerce, it doesn’t meet current National Guard Readiness Center requirements for mission support. Over 600 personnel are based at the site, which they say isn’t ideal for commuting or deployment of large military equipment in and out of the city.

\n

This is the fourth open house held by Commerce. According to the department, the committee will provide a report to the legislature and the Office of the Governor with recommendations for each of these areas by Nov. 15.

WARP is a VPN but it's not like most others and doesn't work the way you think a VPN should. It's confusing.

\n

In November 2018, Cloudflare introduced its 1.1.1.1 application. It was a simple app that could move your phone's networking stack to use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service instead of the one assigned by your internet service provider. Google does something very similar with its own public DNS service, but Cloudflare's is faster so it made your connections feel more "instant." The announcement also talked about something called WARP, which would be coming at a later date.

\n
\n

WARP is part of Cloudflare's existing app and not a standalone service.

\n
\n

That later date has arrived, and WARP is now part of the 1.1.1.1 app. So far, not too confusing, but that changes when the term VPN enters the fray. WARP is a VPN, but WARP isn't like any VPN you might be using now or have heard about.

\n

What is DNS?

\n

\n

DNS (Domain Name System) is used to convert familiar names like www.google.com into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses like 173.194.39.78.

\n

Your phone (or any other computer) can only connect to anything over the internet using numbers. DNS servers are used to translate the things we type into those numbers so we don't have to memorize them. They're often called the phone book of the internet. These servers, called nameservers, hold files that can look up names like microsoft.com or facebook.com so you can be connected when you type them into your browser or when an app calls for a site to be opened. There is no single computer that holds the billions of DNS records — instead, they are distributed on many machines all over the globe.

\n
\n

Nameservers are the internet's phone book. Remember those?

\n
\n

The way nameservers are mapped means there are machines that hold lookup abilities for each TLD (Top Level Domain), which in turn has its own set of nameservers that has individual records. A TLD is the three letters like "com" or "net" that end a URL you type in.

\n

So you can imagine just how many different machines are used to look up what we all type and convert it into a string of numbers that our phones and computers can use to actually connect to anything on the internet. You can also imagine that some of these machines are super busy and can be slow. If you've ever typed in a web address and waited for a page to change or load, part of that waiting time was probably for the DNS resolution. Having nameservers that are not only faster but don't track requests, like Google or Cloudflare's offerings, is a really good thing.

\n

What is a VPN?

\n

You might think a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a network tool that keeps you more private on the internet or lets you access region-restricted content, but those are actually byproducts and not at all what a VPN was designed to do. A VPN was "invented" to allow you a direct and secure connection to a remote network through the internet. An example would be me using a VPN to connect to Mobile Nation's servers from anywhere and having the traffic tunneled through the regular internet without interacting with any of it. That's a real example we use every day, by the way.

\n

\n

A VPN doesn't even have to be encrypted and doesn't even hide your traffic — it simply changes who can see it. There are many great VPNs that do encrypt and anonymize your internet traffic, letting you browse the web privately and access all of its content. But those aren't the only kinds of VPNs and that can be confusing.

\n

What is WARP?

\n

\n

WARP is a VPN that doesn't hide your origin IP (where or who you are) but does encrypt your traffic and use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service. It's rolled into the 1.1.1.1 app and shouldn't be considered a separate thing. The 1.1.1.1 app protects your DNS queries from being "sniffed" on local and unsecured networks, like the Wi-Fi router at your local Starbucks, and when WARP is activated from inside the app it adds a VPN encryption layer that adds to that protection.

\n
\n

A VPN can bolster your online privacy, but that wasn't Cloudflare's original intent.

\n
\n

This is all the 1.1.1.1 app does, and it's not any good for hiding your location or browsing anonymously. It's not advertised to be either, and the terms of service even tell you that your original IP (the one your ISP gave you) is being reported to Cloudflare servers. Cloudflare also says it keeps that data for two years and never sells any of it.

\n

1.1.1.1 with WARP is free to use, but Cloudflare also offers a premium package called WARP+. WARP+ offers the same features as the free version with one handy extra — requests over the internet are routed through Cloudflare's network. Using a feature known as Argo Smart Routing, WARP+ can make sure the things you want to see aren't affected by network congestion. WARP+ pricing varies slightly based on location, which Cloudflare says was done to make sure it matches the cost of a Big Mac.

\n

If this isn't what you're looking for, don't use Cloudflare's DNS and instead use the one your ISP provides or Google's in tandem with another VPN product. There are plenty of great ones to choose from.

\n

Should I use this?

\n

It's not going to hurt anything and it's not doing anything "bad" regardless of what you might have read on the internet. The problem is that Cloudflare uses the words "VPN" and "not a VPN" interchangeably and that makes the whole thing confusing as heck. Even folks who know how all of this works were a bit confused and had to figure out exactly what Cloudflare was doing and what it was offering with the addition of WARP to the 1.1.1.1 app.

\n

If you're not concerned about what DNS is or does and how nameservers or encryption work, think of the app as a little extra protection while on the internet, but not any sort of service that can hide your location or identity and you'll have a good handle on it all. Read the terms of service before you give the app the OK to start working and decide if its something you need.

Cloudflare's VPN isn't a traditional VPN — it encrypts your data without hiding your origin, so it's not meant to be used to access geographically-restricted content or to get around other restrictions. At its core, it's just meant to make your public browsing safer and faster.

What you need to know

\n
  • With Apple set to release Deep Fusion via an iOS 13 developer beta update, lets take a look at what it said about the feature during the iPhone event.
    • \n
  • Phil Schiller revealed it uses the nueral engine to create a new image processing system.
    • \n
  • He calls it "computational photography mad science."
    • \n

It uses the neural engine of the A13 Bionic to create a whole new image processing system.

\n

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 11 and its fancy new cameras, it also gave a sneak peek for a brand new camera feature it would offer: Deep Fusion. Now that the feature is rolling out with the latest iOS 13 developer beta, we decided to look back and see exactly what Apple said about the feature during the September 10 event.

\n

Apple vice president of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller starts by stating it uses "the neural engine of the A13 Bionic to create a whole brand new kind of image processing system."

\n

Then he presents an image of a man seating on a couch with a vividly intertwined sweater that has a lot of intricate detail in the weaving pattern. He says this type of image would not have been possible before.

\n

\n

Using machine learning, this image is captured in low to medium light. Here's how it does that according to Schiller.

\n
\n

It shoots nine images. Before you press the shutter button, it's already shot four short images [and] four secondary images. When you take the shutter button, it takes one long exposure. And in just one second, the neural engine analyzes the fused combination of long and short images picking the best among them, selecting all the pixels and pixel by pixel, going through 24 million pixels, to optimize for detail and low noise.

\n

This is the first time a neural engine is responsible for generating the output image. It is computational photography mad science. It's way cool.

\n
\n

And that was it. Apple didn't get into too much detail as the feature would not be available until a later time. It doesn't even mention it on its iPhone 11 page, but we imagine that will change shortly after the feature becomes available.

\n

The Deep Fusion process sounds daunting and amazing. The images Apple has released so far give us a good luck at the raw potential of the feature that takes full advantage of the new cameras in the iPhone 11. It could help further seperate the iPhone 11 camera from the competition.

Apple's Deep Fusion will give you the best photos possible, but you'll need to make sure one specific setting is turned off to use it.

\n

Apple announced Deep Fusion at the September iPhone event this year, but it did not launch in iOS 13 with the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro models. However, it appears that Deep Fusion is rolling out in the latest developer beta of iOS 13.2 on iPhone 11 devices, and will be available to everyone with an iPhone 11 soon.

\n

While Deep Fusion happens automatically and won't be noticeable like Night Mode, it turns out that it won't be enabled if you have the Capture Outside of Frame setting turned on (here's how to enable Capture Outside of Frame if you missed it). So if you have Capture Outside of Frame turned on, Deep Fusion will not be available, and vice versa.

\n

What is Deep Fusion and how will it work?

\n

\n

Deep Fusion is a new computational photography process specifically on the iPhone 11 line because of the A13 chip. It blends together multiple exposures at the pixel level in order to create a photograph with an even higher level of detail than standard HDR. This means even more detailed textures in things like skin, clothing, and foliage.

\n

Unlike Night Mode, Deep Fusion will happen automatically and we won't even notice it. However, it will only activate in certain situations.

\n

With the Wide (Normal) lens, Deep Fusion kicks in at just above the 10 lux floor that triggers Night Mode. Whether Night Mode or Deep Fusion activates depends on the lighting source for the current scene. On the Telephoto camera, Deep Fusion will be active in pretty much everything except the brightest situations, as that is when the Smart HDR goes into effect due to the abundance of highlights.

\n

Essentially, Deep Fusion has the camera shoot a short frame at a negative EV value. This results in a darker image than you would normally like, but it just pulls sharpness from this frame. It also shoots three regular EV0 images and then a long EV+ frame, aligns everything together, and blends all of the images into one.

\n

You end up with two 12MP images that are combined together in a single 24MP photo. The process to do this uses four separate neural networks, which account for all of the noise characteristics of the camera sensors, as well as the photo subject matter.

\n

The machine learning process looks at every individual pixel before combining, and it only takes about one second to process everything. Deep Fusion will happen in the background, and you'll never really notice it until you see the images it produces.

\n

What is Capture Outside of Frame?

\n

Capture Outside of Frame is a setting available on iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro that lets you capture content outside of the frame on the viewfinder. This captured content only appears when you make edits to the photo, such as cropping, straightening, rotating, and adjusting perspective. For QuickTake video capture, it helps improve the composition.

\n

So why won't Deep Fusion work with Capture Outside of Frame?

\n

\n

The Capture Outside of Frame feature works by utilizing the Ultra Wide camera to capture the rest of the scene outside of the frame. However, Deep Fusion does not work with the Ultra Wide camera due to the lack of focus pixels and optical image stabilization (this is also why Night Mode does not work with the Ultra Wide lens).

\n

So if you want to compare how effective Deep Fusion is, take a picture with Deep Fusion on, and then turn on Capture Outside of Frame and take the same photo.

\n

Are you looking forward to Deep Fusion?

\n

We are definitely excited that Deep Fusion is finally starting to roll out, and we eagerly anticipate the final release hopefully soon. Are you looking forward to Deep Fusion or have any questions about it? Let us know in the comments!

Matthew Panzarino, writing at TechCrunch:

\n
\n

Apple is launching an early look at its new Deep Fusion feature on\niOS today with a software update for beta users. Deep Fusion is a\ntechnique that blends multiple exposures together at the pixel\nlevel to give users a higher level of detail than is possible\nusing standard HDR imaging — especially in images with very\ncomplicated textures like skin, clothing or foliage.

\n
\n

It requires the A13 chip, so it’s iPhones 11-only. I spoke with Apple this morning about it, and Panzarino’s description of how Deep Fusion works matches my notes exactly. Just read his write-up.

\n

Here’s an interesting tidbit: Deep Fusion only works with the telephoto and regular wide lenses — it does not work with the ultra-wide lens. Because of that, Deep Fusion is not compatible with “Photos Capture Outside the Frame”, because the outside-the-frame content is usually captured with the ultra-wide lens. So I think we now have two reasons why “Photos Capture Outside the Frame” is not turned on by default:

\n
    \n

  1. Apple believes that Deep Fusion will improve more photos for more users than Capture Outside the Frame will, so Capture Outside the Frame is off by default. Deep Fusion is not a mode or even an option like Night Mode is — it will simply apply automatically when the Camera app thinks it should. For the wide angle lens, that’s in mid-range indoor lighting conditions; for the telephoto, Deep Fusion will be applied in all but the brightest outdoor conditions. (So, if you want to compare the effect of Deep Fusion, one way to do it is to capture the same scene with and without “Photos Capture Outside the Frame” enabled — only when it’s disabled will Deep Fusion kick in.)

    2. \n

  2. Privacy. Someone framing a still photo might have something outside the frame they would not want captured — anything from a shirtless portrait where the ultra-wide image would reveal the subject is pantsless as well, to an object on your desk or countertop where the ultra-wide image might reveal an envelope with your home address.

I occasionally get questions like “Can you share what you’ve learned about\nrunning a business?” The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that it’s\npossible to make money by teaching people computer things on the internet, so I\nwant to make that a little more concrete by sharing the revenue from the zine\nbusiness so far in 2019. Here’s a graph of revenue by\nmonth (the last month is September 2019):

\n

\n

This adds up to $87,858 USD for 2019 so far, which (depending on what I release in the\nrest of this year) is on track to be similar to revenue for 2018 ($101,558).

\n

Until quite recently I’d been writing zines in my spare time, and now I’m taking a year to focus on it.

\n

how $30,000 for September breaks down

\n

The most obvious thing in that monthly revenue graph above is that 2 months\n(September and March) have way more revenue than all the others. This is\nbecause I released new zines (Bite Size Networking and HTTP: Learn your browser’s\nlanguage) in those months.

\n

Here’s how the $30,000 for September breaks down:

\n\n

This September was the month with the most sales ever, which is mostly because\nof individual humans who find the zines useful (thank you!!).

\n

expenses

\n

The main expenses are paying illustrators and an accountant, a mailing list,\nand various books I buy to learn how to do things better. They probably come\nout to about 10% of revenue or so, and then there are taxes after that.

\n

giving away free copies has been great

\n

With the HTTP zine, like many of my previous zines, I’ve been giving away one\nfree copy for every copy that people buy, so that people can get it even if $12\nis hard for them to afford. (if you can’t afford $12, here’s the\nlink, there are about 70\navailable as I’m writing this). I’m pretty happy with this setup – we’ve given\naway 1358 copies so far. (I think of this as kind of a “sales” statistic too)

\n

I think I want to automate the system to give away free copies a bit more soon\n(like by automatically updating the number of free zines available using the\nGumroad API instead of periodically doing it manually).

\n

hopefully this is a useful data point!

\n

Writing about money on the internet is weird, so this will probably be the\nfirst and last zine revenue post, but I’m writing it down in the hopes that\nit’s a useful data point for others. I thought for a long time that you could\nonly really make money from writing on the internet with ads or sponsorships,\nbut it’s not true!

\n

The goal of this isn’t to say “you should run a business” or anything, just\nthat this is a thing that’s possible in the world and that many developers\ndo really value good educational materials and are happy to pay for them (if\nyou’re one of those people, thank you!)

We used to be Sandwich Video. In fact, we’ve been Sandwich Video\nsince 2010, officially. But today, I’m so proud to announce our\nnew name. A shorter name. Leaner, more agile. Why? Just feels\nright. […]

\n

Eventually the ambiguity wore off and Sandwich Video had\nestablished itself as the upstart little production company for\nhot new tech companies to get great bespoke videos. We called them\n“videos” then because what else could they be? Demos? Promos?\nProbably not “commercials” and definitely not “content”. We made\nvideos for clients, and our output had its own built-in\nsubgenre: if you went to Sandwich Video, you ended up with a\nSandwich video. And our style was distinct, so everybody knew it\nwas a Sandwich video. Video video video.

\n
\n

I absolutely love the new Sandwich logo. It’s just perfect. It looks great, it fits the feel of the company to a T, and there’s a timelessness to it. Fun without being goofy or silly is a hard thing to pull off in a logo, but this mark does it. They could be using this logo decades from now and it’ll still look right. The new website is a model of good design and honest copywriting. (Don’t miss Agency Mode.)

I don’t even know why I am over-rationalizing this… it made me\nsmile, it made me happy, and it makes me want a sandwich.

Never lose track of your AirPods again.

\n

\n

What you need to know

\n
  • Jura Anchor is an attachment for your AirPods.
    • \n
  • Anchor uses a proprietary connector to attach to your AirPods case via the Lightning port.
    • \n
  • Achor is available now on Kickstarter and ships in November.
    • \n

Carrying an AirPods case is a breeze becase of its size, making it easy to put in a bag or pocket. But, in some scenarios, the size can actually backfire, because keeping track of their whereabouts can be difficult. That's where the Jura Anchor comes in.

\n

Created by Patrick O'Neill, the mind behind Olloclip, Anchor adds a carabiner to your AirPods, so they're even easier to carry while out and about. Crucially, attaching Anchor to your AirPods case means you'll always know where they are.

\n

\n

"Following Olloclip's success, I'm excited to launch Jura with this first offering," O'Neill said in a press release. "As a big Apple fan, I know the struggle of digging through a bag or pockets for my AirPods when a call comes in or I want to listen to music. Unlike other options - like a whole case with clip for the charging case - the Anchor doesn't complicate AirPod usability, create unneeded bulk, or cover the hinged cover or lightning port of the case as it provides one-handed accessibility to AirPods."

\n

O'Neill said he created a proprietary connector featuring "high strength composite wings to help prevent side load damage." When Anchor is attached to an AirPods case through the Lightning port, it can apparently support 15 times the weight of an AirPods case, so there should be no issue of the attachment suddenly coming off.

\n

Jura is offering four different options on its Kickstarter, which runs through the end of October. $19 will land you an Anchor in anodized zinc alloy in silver, gray, or black. You can also buy Anchor in titanium for $29. There are packs, too, including a two-pack of Anchor in titanium for $53.

\n

Jura has already smashed its goal of raising $30,000, and with nearly 800 backers and growing, it's clear Anchor is an AirPods accessory a lot of people have been waiting for.

We used to be Sandwich Video. In fact, we’ve been Sandwich Video\nsince 2010, officially. But today, I’m so proud to announce our\nnew name. A shorter name. Leaner, more agile. Why? Just feels\nright. […]

\n

Eventually the ambiguity wore off and Sandwich Video had\nestablished itself as the upstart little production company for\nhot new tech companies to get great bespoke videos. We called them\n“videos” then because what else could they be? Demos? Promos?\nProbably not “commercials” and definitely not “content”. We made\nvideos for clients, and our output had its own built-in\nsubgenre: if you went to Sandwich Video, you ended up with a\nSandwich video. And our style was distinct, so everybody knew it\nwas a Sandwich video. Video video video.

I absolutely love the new Sandwich logo. It’s just perfect. It looks great, it fits the feel of the company to a T, and there’s a timelessness to it. Fun without being goofy or silly is a hard thing to pull off in a logo, but this mark does it. They could be using this logo decades from now and it’ll still look right. The new website is a model of good design and honest copywriting. (Don’t miss Agency Mode.)

I don’t even know why I am over-rationalizing this… it made me\nsmile, it made me happy, and it makes me want a sandwich.
