This archeological masterpiece by @aresluna.org is so good that I wish there was a "making of" film for it. I also hope Marcin gets an email every time someone completes every single activity in the piece. As a kid growing up with MacOS, I never saw it as complex. It is! aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

got the sony xm6 headphones a few days ago and posted a few thoughts with them so far, including using them on an international flight paulstamatiou.com/gear/sony-xm... after 4.5 years with my AirPods Max I was looking for something more comfortable

something to keep in mind the next time you're about to hop on that design trend www.chrbutler.com/good-design-...

had a great time chatting about the future of ai interfaces last night at Surreal the primary things i touched on were around ai personalization and what we need (being transparent about how/when massive personalization context is managed and used), and pushing on simultaneous multimodalities.

Oura Ring is doing their take on Spotify Wrapped (except it’s a three month seasonal report not annual). I love it

so there’s a little plastic cushion insert you can buy for your AirPods Max band to make it comfortable again. I got the first one I saw on Amazon for $9 after 4ish years the mesh in my band became stretched and useless, making the Max super uncomfortable to wear

finally added a dark mode which was quite nice with oklch() + tailwind v4 theme vars. i made it greenish to complement my warm light mode. also used View Transition API + svg filter for this theme reveal effect. 🌜 paulstamatiou.com

Hello from Austria 🇦🇹

getting around to the tailwind v4 migration & adding dark mode to my site. with tailwind v4's support of themes as regular css vars I'm starting to use oklch() instead of rgba or hsl for colors. Much easier to tinker with when adding a new theme. this is a good read if you're not familiar:

Added my iMac G3 to my gear page. Will end up writing much more about it in detail, including all the upgrades I’ve been doing to it. I included an mp3 on there of the boot up sound. Forgot how lovely a CRT degauss sounds. paulstamatiou.com/gear/apple-i...

📝 just published a new article I love and use AI answer engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Grok, etc) all day. There's a problem though. I'm no longer browsing the web; I'm consuming AI answers instead. I'm missing out on what made the web magical to begin with.

Some news! I've decided to resign as Co-Founder of Limitless.ai. I've found myself itching to spend time exploring the intersection of AI and design, and I'll be taking time to do just that. Had amazing time with the team here from early Rewind Mac app days to Limitless and the Pendant.

my wife got me the perfect xmas present.. iMac G3 from 1999, Unused in box, 333Mhz Blueberry from the famous “fruit colors” release (right after Bondi, but before slot loading CD and FireWire)

@ekosz.ekg.gg my wife stumbled across your estate sale today. nice stuff! she might go back tomorrow for another look

“[For the startup designer] there are times when spending an extra week or two ironing things out and polishing matters, but most of the time it's hard to make that ROI math work.” @stammy.bsky.social nails it: paulstamatiou.com/the-startup-...

as a 9 year twitter designer, the design details in this app are unsettling. It’s like it was made to annoy me 🙈 i don’t think I can use this right now
