π Jony Ive Is Leaving Apple, but His Departure Started Long Ago - WSJ
I know this article is designed to put a doom and gloom spin on Apple after Jony’s departure, but it honestly made me glad he’s gone and excited for what’s to come. I may be an eternal optimist, especially with Apple, but the Apple products I have now (while imperfect) are some of my favorite I’ve ever had. I’m incredibly excited about the future of Apple’s platforms.

π The Event Horizon Telescopeβs first black hole image, explained in 500 words - Vox
Taking a photo of this black hole is like taking a photo of a quarter in Los Angeles all the way from Washington, DC. To see such a small object, researchers needed a telescope the size of the Earth.
I’m not super into space, but the details of how they pulled this off have had me enthralled all day. It’s truly amazing.
π A Community In Pieces β Volume & Light Nashville
Iβm sure Dr. Joseph hasnβt cleared out his office, but for all intents and purposes we are in director search mode. The group responsible for that search is the severely splintered school board. Sadly, the community surrounding the board is equally fractured. Some jumping for joy over the ouster, while others have lost faith that the board will do what they were elected to do.
While I am one who is relieved by a change in leadership for our schools, I’m also profoundly aware of what this city I love has lost in the process. I pray for unity, racial reconciliation, and support for strong public education moving forward in Nashville.

πΊ An Obi-Wan Kenobi TV Series May Be Headed to Disney+ - SlashFilm
However, I find myself wondering exactly how theyβre going to fill a six episode limited series about Obi-Wan Kenobi. If the original idea for the spin-off was only going to be a single movie, then theyβll have to pad it out for six episodes. Even if those episodes are only 45 minutes each instead of a full hour, thatβs still four and a half hours of story to fill.
I’m even more excited for the potential of this than an Obi-Wan movie. Unlike this writer, I feel like there is plenty of story that could be told during this time and having the ability to flesh it out in 6 episodes sounds fantastic.

π Editing audio with touch gestures and apple pencil β Robby Burns
All editing for @theclassnerd is done in Ferrite, and @robbyburns takes you through just a bit of that process. Personally, when I’m editing, I rely even more on gestures and the pencil and never touch a keyboard.
