• “Designed in California” — Kickstarter campaign running through the end of June 2026 to fund Jason and Myke Hurley’s 50-episode Apple history podcast. If you don’t back this you’re not hooked up right. • WebKit in Safari 27 changes and notes, from the WebKit blog. • Helium — My favorite Chromium browser for the Mac. Fast, free, no bloat. • Camino — An open source Mac-assed web browser based on the Mozilla engine from the 2000s. Last updated in 2012, but, blessedly, the website still works. When it was discontinued I described it as “like a glass of ice water on a hot day for Mac users who wanted a modern but Mac-like browser in the early years of Mac OS X.”. • Photos of John Ternus and Tim Cook at Apple’s WWDC post-Keynote “Tech Talk”:

• Jason on BBEdit 16, the world’s greatest text editor. • Jason, writing at Macworld, on the foundation of Apple’s OS 27 updates. • Jason, writing at Macworld, on Mac OS X Snow Leopard back in 2009. (The update cost $29 — which we thought was cheap, because previous Mac OS X updates cost $129.) • Boston College’s Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society.
