Been in Korea a little over 3 months now after doing a visa run to Japan and back last Friday. Very exhausted but happy I’m back with my wife and newborn son.

Big life update: I’m a Dad now. After my contract with Google wrapped up at the end of last year, my wife and I went to Korea to have our baby, and I’m happy to say all is well. Things have been really cool and parenting is not as difficult as the Internet made me fear.

Death Stranding 2 is consuming me, I love it. More than the thought of getting a walking pad for under a standing desk while I work, the thought of using a walking pad while playing DS2 is now probably going to put me over the edge to buying one today lol

Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole! ...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance. 🧵 A thread:

Hello, happy Friday. I wanted to publicly note that I’ll be moving internationally from Orlando, Florida to South Korea sometime at the end of June or early July with my partner. This is a major move for us and I’m super excited. We’ve lived for months at a time there, but this time, it’s one-way ✈️

I hadn’t cleaned up my files for at least a year, so, it’s sort of like as close as I can get to a spiritual cleanse, a ritual, to wipe away the afterimage or scarred battlefield of old projects — which can accumulate so many files chaotically during their time — and stand ready for something new

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Finally did some weightlifting after a 16-day break. Depression & anxiety wombo combo’d me. What helped for me was doing a writing exercise last night. Feel like it broke some ice in my brain; re-engaging the neurological pathways towards feeling sadness and anger I was probably suppressing, helps

This screenshot excerpt of Figma shows a supposedly leaked new ability to create a “Website” I first saw it on LinkedIn but it could have originated on twitter. It feels real, even if things like this are easily faked. Really interesting to me, as someone who worked on a website builder for years…
