It's only a concept, but it's the best car UI i've seen since they started adding screens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wv1b...

This is the first time Apple showcased Siri integration at the launch of the iPhone 4S in 2011. I would argue that these core features are still the only reliable things Siri can do today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rL9E... iOS 26.4 looks like it'll be the one where they overhaul Siri into a LLM.

Uncut Gems, but with Nicolas Cage playing Howard.

It has taken me 19 years to remove the email signature on my phone. No more editing the embarrassment when emailing on the go.

We no longer eat Australian salmon and opt for frozen Atlantic salmon from Costco. And I'm a fierce "Australian produced/grown" etc advocate. Also refer to goodfish.org.au when buying any products.

RIP to the best modern ui I've seen in an iOS app in years. Glass.photo's app is/was minimal and beautiful. Liquid Glass happened.

I have just put a couple more containers of water out for the birds in my front native ( but not indigenous) garden - considering the approaching heatwave in #adelaide

Well, everyone else is posting them. #Photography

Finding a place is easy. Just type into the clearly marked Apple Maps field.

Some portraits of the young magpie brothers Ming and Mao to bless your timeline tonight. #BirdPhotography #Photography

I gave myself a haircut. #whatYearIsIt

🌻😎☀️ I put a new build out

A while back, Letterboxd was bought by the same people who decimated Dribbble. They've added a "Video Store". The enshittification has begun.

I took some shots of wildlife today. #photography

I saw the machine that lays tram tracks and nails them in in-action. It's huge. #Adelaide #Glenelg

@hey.paris I'm really happy for you that your story spread as wide as it did. Hoping that whatever conversation you're having with Apple puts them on the path to making it right.

I have 160 Hide My Email addresses to update.

If you (like me) keep automatic updates switched off, today's update might have turned them on. Check your settings.

What are the truly great weather apps on Android? Bonus points if they're made by Australians &/or use BOM data.

Soursob Bob at The Grace Emily yesterday. #Adelaide #photography #livemusic

I've been playing with Pass, and got it setup on my MacBook and Linux. It's neat. www.passwordstore.org But, the iOS app I'm attempting to use for it (passforios) crashes when I try to grab a password from it. So close to being great. Has anyone else tried this and got it working?

This fluffy fella has been yapping all day.

Yeah they got rid of the iOS 7 design guy.

I remain convinced that poor communications hygiene is one of the greatest deadweights on productivity, and that every time people create a group chat in Slack or Teams rather than using a channel, they should be administered an electric shock.

Nets won't stop em. #photography #australia

Sunshine is an Australian weather app, and it is entering private beta. The first build is available, and I'm looking for testers to tell me good/bad/weird things that Sunshine does. If you are a fan of weather apps, or apps in general, please sign up below. 🌻 mattro.design/sunshine/

Orion 1.0 ✴︎ Nov 25, 2025 "After 6 years of relentless development, Orion for macOS officially leaves its beta phase behind." kagi.com/orion/ I can't wait til they ship a linux version.

I wrote about making my latest project, and overcoming a lack of coding knowledge to do it. mattro.design/studio/mattr...

Ming the (baby) magpie has seen Marshall (father) eating from my hand, and is brave enough to do the same.

Thinking back a few months, it's kind of nuts that I bought an old Thinkpad and a display from Aliexpress. I changed the display in a laptop. It works great. Screen was about $70.

These words are meaningless.

This is an excellent native Mac app for managing meta tags in your music library. I'm having a great time using it. www.nightbirdsevolve.com/meta/

My web presence has become a bit of a project. Mastodon/Bluesky aren't really doing it for me (and I'll continue to contribute to both). Glass isn't either.

Sky Guide is the best star spotting app I reckon. apps.apple.com/au/app/sky-gui...

Many are missing the point of the 'fisherprice' style design of macOS. Apple will roll touch-screen macs in the next 1 or 2 cycles. For that macOS needs to have touch target sized elements. Apple won't release them until most 3rd party apps support the new layout, so they specced it out early.

I saw Tropical Fuck Storm @ The Gov tonight. #TheGov #Photography #Adelaide #TFS #TropicalFuckStorm

GNOME (desktop environment) is pronounced "soft-G No Me". Like the sewing machine.

Notification permissions are required for this type of app to function. Then, the dickheads put ads in the notifications. There is zero chance I'll use Invites for anything now.

Happy algal bloom to all who celebrate.

When I designed Geotag Alpha's app icon, it was 🤏 this close to resembling the Eye of Sauron – or worse. Read all about it. mattro.design/studio/geotag-a... #Design #AppIco#Design

But seriously, someone make a native Slack competitor.

Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged in New York" was released thirty one years ago. www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Ok, so this is a bit of a cliché in my industry. I made an article page on my site, and I wrote up a bit more about Vlas' ReturnMate app icon—lyrebirds, ring-pulls, why 'simple' took a while to get right. mattro.design/studio/returnma... #Design #AppI#Designp#AppIcon

ACCC going after a Microsoft/Copilot dark pattern. You love to see it.

I saw a pre-screening of the The Fox tonight. "…an affable foxhunter encounters a shape-shifting fox who offers him an opportunity to transform his partner into the perfect woman and…" It's tons of fun. *Really* good. Look for it when it comes out. boxd.it/DAgQ

I mean, I'd use a Vision Pro if someone bought one for me.

I think Reeder (new) might fit me better than Tapestry. It feels finished, and does a lot of what Tapestry promised. It can't like or repost, and that's okay? apps.apple.com/app/id6475002485
