Intertwixt 11 is here at the end of the weekend: thoughts on a return to Epic Universe with family, with the 2nd gen Ray-Ban glasses. And…how interactive will theme parks get? intertwixt.beehiiv.com/p/intertwixt...

Sunday Night Intertwixt…coming later. Theme park vibes

Jets win streak

Now reading: Frankenstein (Shelley)

My next goal is to work on a sequel of a play I wrote many years ago studying with @joycecaroloates.bsky.social called Utopia Parkway - it was about chat rooms and simulating relationships. This time it’s going to be all about doing the same with AI, accelerating the process

subscribe to local news in cities dealing with surges of ice/cbp/national guard / federal agents. these reporters are providing some of the only documents we have concerning the acts of our government against civilians, against immigrants.

Time to rewatch New Watchmen again?

We’re sort of in a new pandemic phase right now except instead of a novel virus it’s everything else

At airport in Orlando, on runway waiting. Flight delayed by a few hours. Airport felt sort of quiet. Once again reflecting on our dumb world

The monsters are still out after Halloween

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

The Intertwixt shall return…when I get back from my trip

Working out my thoughts on AI in play form. Scott Stein’s Last Play and Endemica are works in progress I’ve already done. Accelerant is next.

I’ve been trying out Samsung Galaxy XR for a while now. Thoughts so far - not a full review since I’m waiting to see if Rx lenses are available for me, but some of the promises/problems at the moment: www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Makes sense. I said when I reviewed Switch 2 that you didn’t need to upgrade yet, but in 2026 that’ll likely…switch

The latest PlayStation Portal update adds streaming for PS5 games…without a PS5. I talked to PlayStation’s Takuro Fushimi about it- the Portal keeps changing, and it seems like a sign of a future standalone handheld. www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

I’ll take this over Canada winning the World Series

It’s almost like threatening American cities leads to repercussions

I think we got a lil’ preview of next midterms

Get out there and vote now

Excited that I’ll be at SXSW in the spring moderating a panel with Meow Wolf and Niantic Spatial! Details here - schedule.sxsw.com/events/PP116...

The new Hyrule Warriors game is beautiful but I wish this were a true Zelda, the fighting stuff tires me out www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

18. The Spellshop, by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social I don’t read the books of friends nearly enough. And this one, this magic, warm and cozy book, is so far from my own aesthetic. But it makes me love Sarah’s work even more. Choosing kindness is always an option. It turns out I needed the hug.

I watched a fair amount of people throw balls

I blame Heinz Flavoured Mayo

Good night. Ugh

We’re gaining an hour tonight…of baseball

When it turns midnight it’ll still be 11 how will I know how long I’ve been watching baseball

Very calm

Baseball

I am so ready for Canada to win the World Series

The potential realism of scanned faces and spaces…the observational relationship of multimodal AI…the slow arrival of robotics…thoughts from the week

Intertwixt 10 for Halloween: my thoughts on scanning ourselves and our environment into VR and AR. And the robots we’ll puppet. Ghosts, golems, and Frankenstein. Happy Halloween intertwixt.beehiiv.com/p/intertwixt...

I have a big series of panoramic windows to London glued to my blinds as I work on Vision Pro at home

Getting ready for TechVember

NEW: I had a very interesting talk with Guillermo del Toro about Frankenstein, AI, tech bros, and whether Mary Shelley really kept Percy Bysshe Shelley's charred heart after he died. Also, GDT says he hopes to start shooting 'The Buried Giant' next year. (!!!) www.wired.com/story/guille...

Happy Halloweenotwixt

I can’t wait for William Gibson’s third book in the Jackpot series but I think we’re in it

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

October is nearly over and it’s been soooo busy. Just reflecting on it all. Busy times ahead too, but eesh

The Vision Pro is, for sure, a computer. But its price and battery life are too high and too low, and it needs more custom apps

Animal Crossing update for Switch? Switch 2 edition? Hotel? Retro games? Zelda and Splatoon? And a dream island you go to when you sleep? Inception is happening youtu.be/7nODHyw3lgs?...

I think my next laptop will be an iPad Pro if Apple ends up putting MacOS on it. Maybe in two years?

I just looked back on this story I wrote in 2019 and realized I need to do an update because the last six years have been even wilder than the previous 10 www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...
