You know it's crazy that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are so good and so easy, and yet it seems like Americans are the only ones who eat them. I swear I eat one most days.

Cool picture of me and my coworker today.

I've read five books in the past month. Not bad. If I could average four a month, that would be great.

Is there really no way to access Xcode's generated symbol names from XCAssets in different modules?

New major BBEdit release is out! If you need me, you know where I'll be 😂

2026 update for the F1 25 game looks sick. Can't wait to superclip in a video game 😂

Do I know anyone else playing F1 25? I'd love to play with other people. Add me as a friend on PlayStation or on EA as FormulaTAS.

Pretty pleased with myself at work the last couple of days as far as writing code that'll help the team.

Streaming F1 25 if anyone wants to hang out.

It's real sweat. I'm a high-performance athlete. Athletes sweat. Sweat, baby. Sweat, sweat. Kih kih. Rrrar.

I think I coded a little too close to the sun today and now my brain is tired.

I used a couple of regex and Ruby to strip color literals out of our code today and replace them with hex values. It was actually fun to figure out. Knowing regex and a scripting language is kind of superpower, even if you technically make your money writing something else.

I'm happy Lewis got a podium, but watching George go out like that was painful. #Formula1

Oh no. Poor George Russell. I feel so bad for him right now.

I was just woken up at 4 AM by what sounded like a loud knock on the door. Freaked out and awake now.

Did that thing where I fell asleep so much during the day I can't sleep at night. I'm just gonna have to force myself to wake up and go to work at the right time.

It's so embarrassing for the president of the United States to be so preoccupied with something as stupid as a fucking ballroom.

Went down to the Woolworths and got everything I need to bake scones 🎉

"G'day, how ya goin'?"

Like it or not, I'm just fucking sick of talking about AI and data centers.

Wearing my Ferrari shoes today, so we're definitely going to win in Montreal this weekend. #Formula1

My feeling with liquid glass is that I may nlg prefer how things jiggle in places, but I'd rather embrace what the system is doing than end up in an uncanny valley where some of my controls have system behavior and others don't. I also think the chances are high that they tone it down in 27.

I think there's a possum screaming in my backyard. Maybe I should let them in. If you're cold, they're cold, right?

Performatively not liking Taylor Swift is a red flag. You can dislike an artist, but you can do it quietly without ruining anyone else's good time. That's true for other things, but this one annoys me, because it's almost always men making fun of women for something that brings them joy.

Does anyone else remember how good Skitch was back in the day for marking up screenshots? I wish Apple's markup thing worked like that.

How does Bluesky continue indefinitely into the future if every metric seems to say that they peaked at the end of 2024 and have been on a slow decline ever since? Aren't they pretty reliant on funding from investors?

People will say I'm wrong, but I'm looking at Linux desktop screenshots, and I swear I cannot find one which is not ugly as sin.

What a week.

I’m really excited about this. Phlex and Literal are joining the Ruby Users Forum, replacing our GitHub discussions. You can get support from me and others in the community over there. ❤️

I've started getting some of these grindset programming influencers on Instagram and kind of want to start doing it myself as a less toxic perspective.

Decided I want to read more books again and I've already finished four in about the past three weeks or so. Not bad.

I got moved into my new place. It's pretty big and empty. I'm feeling super sad right now and I'm not sure what to do about that.

If you were building a new Mac app today, how would you structure it? My feeling is still AppKit skeleton/lifecycle with SwiftUI views mixed in as much as possible.

I think maybe even though I like it here and everything, it hadn't some until now how much everything is changing and how much has happened. Anyway, the result of that is that I'm sitting here crying.

Went over to the new house and now feeling weirdly sad? Being a person is complicated.

YouTube is not working on my Apple TV. God truly gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

Paid my first two weeks of rent and bond for a house in Hobart I'm renting. Goodbye money 👋

Being a Ferrari fan makes me want to lash out with unnecessary anger and borderline violence.

Lego Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc F1 helmets.

I don't know that I've mentioned it, but Leo Leclerc is my dog Link's actual nephew, which I think makes Charles Leclerc my son.

Picked up the Charles and Lewis Lego F1 helmets at the Hobart Lego store on lunch today.

Thinking about selling my house in the USA makes me really sad because I love it. It's the only house I've ever owned, and I don't know if I'll be able to buy another, but I also think selling it and not having any debt or anything tying me to the United States will remove a lot of stress.

Optimizing social media for mental health I’ve recently done the work of changing my social media feeds on apps like Instagram and TikTok away from politics to things that make me happier. For me, those are animals, musician friends, and Formula 1. I think this is a good choice for my ongoing…

Feeling really positive about my ability to motivate the team while also improving how we do things after today 😃

Thinking I might submit a talk to this Apple developer conference in Melbourne. Haven't done that in a while.

The thing that's really missing in the F1 games is a tutorial mode where it coaches you how to get better. It's really easy to plateau because the game never really tells you how to get better at braking or any of that.

What presentation software do people like? It has to be good for code, and would be nice for it to have transitions. I've always used Keynote, but I'm open one of the text based options.
