As someone who melted a significant portion of my brain writing about sociotechnical representations of time and temporal sensemaking in my dissertation, this is amazing.

Sorry, but I've had to remind myself recently that I'm actually pretty darn good at what I do, whatever this is

I think emoji-only feedback is actually underrated Highlight a comment splice and then just write “☠️” 😂

if you're still writing using the hero's journey, your mind is closed to all the possibilities

I don't want AI generated art, I want AI emptied dishwasher

Only Valve can get away with casually dropping news of new hardware on a random day of the week out of the blue. A new VR headset from Valve. Steam Frame is here and it’s real.

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

just experienced "MacSpreading" - where someone just asked for more room on the train table because their MacBook Pro and Mouse needs more than their half of the table...

I made a ridiculously fun app for Apple Vision Pro and the new Logitech Muse 'spatial accessory' that lets you spray paint the world around you. Spray Paint Spatial, approved by Apple and now on the App Store! Help me spread the word! apps.apple.com/us/app/spray...

I am sad that this large styrofoam Pillsbury dough boy is not for sale.

My son was basically a celebrity trick or treating tonight. He was on cloud 9 from all the attention. Worth the effort!

Hmmm. Watching the Affinity big "True Creative Freedom" reveal video. I've long recommended the Affinity tools as solid alts to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (ipad apps in particular are great). Basically, it's all rolled into 1 app. Now free, but with deep integration with Canva (for AI). 🧵 1/

I guess corporate found that engagement metrics increase if you don't mention whose birthday it is, because now there's an opportunity to catch you scrolling in the app I'm so tired of the mundane hostility of the attention economy

AI in education is the answer to a critical question: how do we provide bullshit education that will prepare students for the bullshit jobs they will do when they graduate?

If you [shudder] use LinkedIn for professional stuff, you should read this and make relevant changes if needed.

The absence of content like Open Brush and limited availability of controllers really does give Mirage Solo Déjà vu vibes. Is there another Android XR headset coming that this system is a developer kit to prepare ahead of? How can we get more headsets to devs?

There’s now a Swift SDK for Android? What?? www.swift.org/blog/nightly...

wussup

The floating cursor was my first gameplay prototype, haha.

A few quick thoughts on Galaxy XR before we lent our headset to @ianhamilton.net for the weekend (since it’s silly Samsung didn’t provide UploadVR with a review unit and the one they ordered at their own expense won’t come for weeks).

A fun (“fun”) new thing we need to address is the time wasted correcting the errors of people who arrive at a conversation having only read the AI summary of a document.

Hi

“With physical things, it's more like a memory of what shaped you, what you’ve been through”. An interesting look at Winston Chong and his love for collecting analogue media in Singapore. Seeing some of the items like the phone cards immediately brought me way back to when I was little. Good times.

Game developers. I am begging you. PLEASE. Make your games start at 50% volume by default or don't make them so LOUDDDDD. WHY is everything so LOUD?? 👵😭

I'm digging through my archives looking for a photo for a project and keep finding funny shit I've made. Apparently I did this one ~ ‎Friday, ‎August ‎20, ‎2021, ‏‎1:02:50 PM.

figured out how to solve not one but two problems at work while i was brushing my teeth. (clearly production should have me brush my teeth all day)

The interesting part of Tron for me was the fact that the users had avatars for their programs that looked like them in the computer world and did the work of that program. Years later, you’ve trolls, lurkers, chat rooms, scammers, social media, influencers and a wealth of stuff to draw on.

Oops

I’m looking forward to the day when an LLM, out of sheer frustration, tells a "vibes coder" that "the code works on my machine" and that it’s a skill problem. That day, be afraid, very afraid, of the machines 😳

Absolutely flawless. A truly delightful, playful, and clever LEGO set that nails every part you might care about. From the button feel to the cartridge click, all incredible.

Like every business, Panic has a curated, themed playlist that plays in our lobby, emanating office-parkily from a weird rock speaker. The vibe goal? 80's-corporate, EPCOT center, inspirational slideshow of Apple II quarterly results, slight unease/discomfort, and personal computer optimism.

If you're bored of doomscrolling on Bluesky, why not print out and color this alarming coloring book from Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye in San Francisco instead? library.nyam.org/colorourcoll...

Kodak Charmera. Love the colours! But the whole blind box thing is just … sigh.

Came across a video on why one should embrace being bored. Noticed the following gem in the comments section: “How dystopian a world we are living that boredom is now a skill that needs to be learned.”

Whoa! Love it!

The thing about HDRIs is that they make everything look really really nice with almost no work. "Oh, I'll just borrow this expertly photographed environment as lighting for my dumb robot."

If you see this, reskeet with a vampire that is not Dracula.

How easily entertained were we before everyone had internet? Well...

My dad got me a Leica M2R, lens, body, and case for $60 from a Goodwill [the usual price of the kit would be OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!! US Dollars] I named it Bebot [Bebot is my dad's nickname and I named my M2R after him <3] I should've gotten an article 😤😤😤 petapixel.com/2025/08/27/p...
