Today your pal and mine, Lex Friedman , released episode two of Your Daily Liss. Which is to say, I was a guest on Your Daily Lex , episode #1048. Lex is traveling at the moment, and has both pre-recorded episodes of YDL, as well as had guests like me sit in. Your Daily Lex is far more fun and interesting than a daily podcast about a middle-aged white dude should be; here’s hoping I didn’t…

Affiliate links abound below. Make both of us rich by buying these books: your soul and my wallet. I’ve become a prolific Goodreads user over the last several years. Reading a book is a commitment, and I like to record the completion of that commitment. Goodreads does that for me. Goodreads also lets you rate books, on a ☆☆☆☆☆ → ★★★★★ scale. My personal rating system seems to be… stingier… than…
Callsheet nears its third birthday , and as such, it’s time for me to post another Year in Review . I started doing this at the end of year one , and repeated it last year .

If you’re not a subscriber of The Verge , you should be. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. In this interview — which I greatly enjoyed! — Nilay grills Wassym on all manner of issues. The whole time, though, I was…
Way back in January of 2024, Daniel at uses this asked if I would be willing to be interviewed for the site. Nearly immediately, I told him I’d love to. In February of this year, I finally responded to Daniel’s [very easy] questions. 🥴 While I — thankfully — did not eclipse the all-time record , I do feel badly. Thankfully, Daniel never put any pressure on me, and was a tremendous sport about the…
Callsheet version 2026.5 is slowly rolling out in the App Store. I wanted to take a moment and highlight some changes; particularly those around Plex integration. Bug Fixes First, some great bug fixes. Due to ✨ reasons ✨, mostly of the self-created variety, Callsheet would often show an error message with the not-particularly-actionable message cancelled . Now, not only are the error screens far…
My job, nominally, is to have opinions about things. I struggle to reach a strong opinion about AI. The other portion of my job is to write code. This part of me has no such issues reaching a conclusion. I write this on vacation, today taking a break from the beach, and more concretely the sun’s punishing rays. During this week, I’ve been checking in on feedback from users of Callsheet from time…
