It's time for episode 641 of the Clockwise Podcast from Relay, recorded Wednesday, January 28th, 2026.

Clockwise, four people,. That's also a time machine. It just runs forward at normal speed. My name is Dan Warren and I'm joined as always across the internet by my good friend and my pal and the one and the only. And my good friend and pal. I don't know why I repeat myself. It's Micah Sarka. Hi, Micah. Hello. Welcome back to me. Welcome back to the show you. I'm here. How are you? I am great. It is good to talk to you over the internet, Dan. We're saying weird things today.

You all hail our robot overlords. No reason. This is, of course, the show where we talk about four tech topics with two fantastic guests. To my left this week, it is podcaster and fiber artist and all around wonderful human being.

Aline Sims. Welcome back, Aline. Hello, my current status is fighting with my yarn while you're talking.

That's good. I like a little multitasking when we're doing the show. Show that yarn who's boss.

Perhaps our creative director would be able to do something with that.

It's Christopher Finn joining us back on the show.

Welcome back.

Hey, thank you so much for having me.

I genuinely do not dare to fight yarn.

My wife, so many of my friends are crocheters, knitters, macrame artists,

and I very much leave that to them because it scares me.

By the way, go and have a research of a ferrite core memory after you've listened to this show,

folks. Amazing thing. Oh, all right. Bookmarking that for later. But right now, we got to get to the

tech topics. The first of which

comes from me, and it's this. Apple officially launched its new Creator Studio bundle today. I'm

curious if you have any interest in this new offering, whether or not it's something you will be

subscribing to, do you use any of these apps, or do you have any other strong feelings one way or the other about

this bundle. Aline, start with you. Oh my gosh. So my first reaction when I heard about the

creator studio was, are they actually going to update the apps? Because Apple does have a history

of having apps that they kind of let languish for a long time.

I still feel a little salty about the way they abandoned Aperture, which was a photo editing app that I loved.
