I was interviewed for the Learning from Machine Learning podcast. I'm really happy with how it turned out. (They edited it well to make me sound coherent.) "Lessons from Building the First Killer App" www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd85... and rss.com/podcasts/lea...

Apple announced today it's adding spatial pen input to #VisionPro. The API supports the Logitech Muse pen (coming later this year). See this developer video of a 3D sculpting app with fine control: developer.apple.com/videos/play/... . It has position, buttons, and haptics (Yay!).

I get goosebumps watching people see the late Bill Atkinson first demo his MacPaint creation 40+ years ago to the public and answer questions. Today, you couldn't imagine it being new. In hindsight, that was an historic moment. Now, sadly, he's gone. Watch it and imagine how it must have felt.

It is so moving to watch a high point of the life of someone who changed the world in a way that enriched the lives of so many. The audience reaction (of techies who know they are watching an historic milestone) lets you feel it. #billatkinson

Here’s Bill Atkinson (and rest of team) answering questions right after the Macintosh was debuted at the Boston Computer Society in 1984: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tQ5... starting at 28:25 - he demos MacPaint and more. May his memory be a blessing!

For entrepreneurs, executives, and investors in the Boston area: Next Friday is the MTLC Innovation unConference. These have always been great in the past and I'm sure this year will be no exception: lu.ma/egnkh13x?tk=... (I've been on the board of the MTLC for many, many years.)

This is a fascinating book. Teaches you so much about today’s real supply chains from a reporter who went along for the whole ride, from containers to boats to trucks and warehouses to your door.

In 2021 I published what I hoped would be *the* definitive book on how all our stuff gets to us, and how the ways that it does had completely transformed not just the global economy but the nature of work itself. It's more relevant than ever! bookshop.org/p/books/arri...

12 years after after Amazon promised it was just around the corner, widespread commercial drone delivery is finally coming to the U.S. The technological enablers here are fascinating -- it turns out it was a design problem as much as anything. (gift link)

After watching the new Metallica VisionPro video, I checked out some reviews, including on the ATP podcast (atp.fm/631). What I saw and noted while watching, everybody seems to agree is a great moment - not just for this video but in general. It's short, starting at about 12:15. 1/2

A great podcast series is @scott.hanselman.com 's Hanselminutes. The latest is an inspiring interview with Mary Lou Jepson about her work including non-invasive diagnostics and treatments for brain cancer & clots and more. www.hanselminutes.com/988/saving-l...

Love this one from 1981 before IBM's launch. And that box on Dan/Bob ❤️ @harrymccracken.com

2/2: (About Halt and Catch Fire Comdex interview): I also wrote blog posts (www.bricklin.com/albums/comde... , www.bricklin.com/albums/comde...). Great for computer industry history buffs, and people who like the TV series. Enjoy!

I was interviewed by Melissa Forziat for her podcast/Youtube channel about the Halt and Catch Fire cable TV series. For 45 min we talked about Comdex, especially 1983: youtu.be/1f6hEtAm26g This stems from me posting non-fictional video from that time (www.bricklin.com/comdex83.htm) 1/2
