I always blamed my headphones (Bose 700) for bluetooth cutting out every few minutes as I listened to my MacBook, but it seems like a persistent problem. None of the solutions have fixed it for me. Maddening!

Today’s post is a bit nerdy–confusion with whois and nslookup. #weblogpomo2024

Received an email that songwhip.com‘s API is going away. I think maybe all of Songwhip is going away, which would be extra sad because they have the prettiest music share links around.
