The latest Q3 2019 earnings results are in from Apple, and—depending on who you talk to—they're either surprisingly stellar or dreadfully terrible. Welcome to the world of news media spin. Also, a new ruling from the EU makes website operators responsible for what Facebook does with user data, a U.S. Senate bill called the SMART Act would ban dark UX patterns from popular social apps, and so much more.
Apparently this is the face I make when I’m out scouting for good portrait locations and I decide to take a selfie with a “model pose” for full effect. 🤓😝
This is your chance. This is your time.
So you can take the Portland Aerial Tram up to the OSHU complex near Stonehenge radio tower, which I knew, but what I didn’t know is you can veer right as soon as you get off the tram and walk along an AMAZING patio area that overlooks the whole frickin’ Willamette Valley/Portland area—cafe tables and all.
Oh I’m coming back up here, no doubt about it!

Your Valuable
Your Valuable isn’t a show for geeks. This is a show for ordinary people who are affected every day by the decisions made by the powerful geeks in Silicon Valley.
Well it’s time to fight back. Welcome to Your Valuable:

GEEEZ, earlier at the Children’s Museum a mom walked by and called out to her daughter named Layla, and now I can’t get that darn Eric Clapton song out my of head!!!
😱🥴🎶
On set starting to shoot the first episode of Your Valuable. This is gonna be fun! ☺️
Announcing a brand new show in the works called Your Valuable! No, that’s not incorrect grammer. It stands for:
It’s a show about how to take back control from Big Tech companies who monetize your valuable stuff for their own nefarious purposes. Learn via hands-on reviews, demonstrations, tips & techniques all about the products that can REALLY help you on a daily basis make amazing artistic creations and upgrade your life to be more fun, free, and rewarding!
(Also in the video…a walkabout near Tanner Springs and other Pearl District locations in Portland, Oregon.)
Season 3, Episode 1
Essential Life with Jared is a vlog series all about Portland, the Pacific Northwest, and the philosophy of essentialism. It’s about finding your own way and never walking somebody else’s path. It’s about living a life that’s most meaningful to you.
Thanks to Epidemic Sound for the background music.

Happy Birthday ‘Murica! Hooray for the red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸😆
A hashtag on my coffee cup? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS
🧐
Just a suggestion: don’t smash that bell thingy, don’t subscribe, don’t name the third item you ate for lunch and that’s your spaceship name, don’t play the social media game.
Instead, sign off and go make your own art.
For the first time in forever (cue the Frozen music 🎶), I have a real weekly Content Production schedule for my podcast, vlog, and email newsletter! Freakin’ excited right now. 🙌
Yo! I’m back from various work/family/travel obligations with a renewed vigor to get into a full weekly production schedule on both the podcast and video shows. There are a few major initiatives in the hopper which I’ll be announcing very soon. Part of what I’ve been trying to do is make publishing videos and publishing podcasts feel very similar in the sense that everything connects properly to my #website and is entered into my own content management system. (Yay for the IndieWeb!)
Along these lines, I now have a dedicated video page on my website! This is now the canonical location for all video going forward. I’ll continue to post segments of shows I do on YouTube, Instagram, and elsewhere, but the full videos will always be on my own site and hosted on Vimeo.
In summary, I have a plan and I’m putting it into action. :) You’ll see the fruits of my labor very soon…
P. S. If you’re not yet a Patreon supporter, there’s no better time to sign up than RIGHT NOW! 😁
Here I am looking like a bozo, excited about the IndieWeb Summit in #portland 2019! #openweb
I don’t know what this is called, but since it’s a pink fuzzball plant, I’m calling it Pink Fuzz.
Say Hi to the Fuzz.
Apple’s 2020 iPhones will be all-OLED
Apple plans to release three new iPhones in the second half of 2020, including high-end 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models with OLED displays and a lower-end 6.1-inch model with an OLED display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Essays which echo the broader movement of progressive Christian writers and thought leaders—heralding a return to the empire-challenging social justice movement which was the hallmark of Jesus’ ministry and of his disciples.
Published by my web software company Whitefusion, INTERSECT features articles about supporting the open web, security & privacy, UI/UX, and Ruby programming.
My alter ego as a producer of synthwave, chillout, and thematic electronica. Yarred combines cutting-edge DJ-style live groove production with classic keyboard playing on analog and digital synthesizers.
This is the time of year when my chosen profession is not sitting well with me. (Ironically, that’s all I’m doing. Sitting.)
I publish something new, you get a nice email. Easy peasy!

If you'd rather connect with me on the socials, I am on:
Got a Comment? Idea? Feedback? Let's talk! I'm happy to use email, iMessage, or Signal. Just let me know what you'd like to discuss:
I'm glad you appreciated what I had to say. Hey, wanna stay in touch?
Assuming anything anyone knows about next year’s iPhones is even remotely accurate: I sure hope the OLED display technology Apple plans to use has been much improved in the color department. Every time I look at the iPhone XS line at the Apple store, the way text looks on light backgrounds really bothers me. It’s one of the reasons I’m quite happy with my LCD-sporting iPhone XR.
(Although…with the upcoming release of iOS 13 featuring Dark Mode, maybe the color shifting of OLED won’t be as noticable because I’ll often be reading light text on dark backgrounds.)
