Some happy animals this weekend. ❤️

Also the new iPhone Pro is sooo much grippier than my old 15 Pro. I would not have waffled on the phone to get if I knew that up front.

The reviewers were right - whatever Apple did to the new AirPods makes them fit lightyears better for me than previous models.

Got my own personal music streaming server up and running last night. So, so cool.

Now that’s a design upgrade

Remember when we put coffee stains on our personal web designs

Watched The Natural for the first time tonight (was looking for a Robert Redford flick I hadn't seen yet) and whew I'm mad I didn't watch it sooner. What a great, weird, fun movie.

Wrote a little frontend today. As a treat.

The new Demon Slayer movie slaps. Glad it's crushing at the box office.

Flashbacks to all the terrible ad banners I made at the start of my career.

I think I'm going iPhone Air, y'all. The Pro looks so sick, but it's even heavier than my current 15 Pro and I just cannot.

Work upgraded me to a 16" MacBook Pro and at first I was v annoyed thinking about traveling with this thing. But then I used it for awhile and experienced the absolutely endless battery life and I am completely converted.

I resist clicking stuff like this for way too long, because I don't want to reward whatever PM decided they needed to use an unread indicator for a new feature or UI change (that has nothing new inside it). Lookin' at you, Slack.

Anyone have an overhead iPhone rig they like for shooting top-down video?

Hey hey.

Silksong's been interesting so far. Zero spoilers - the hardest bit is that I'm coming fresh off a 100% HK run and the hitbox for Hornet is just so slightly different, so I keep misjudging my distance and getting punished!

So much of my leadership jobs have boiled down to: - Be kind to folks. - Show up and do what you say you'd do. - Be super duper annoying about the most important thing until it's done/fixed, then do it again for the next most important thing. Repeat ad infinitum.

lol Silksong took down Steam. Amazing.

Breakfast with Mr. Squirrel Patrol himself.

I forgot what a bop the Evangelion opening credits are.

At Etsy, someone once told me that it's important to have "the fear" when shipping something. They said if you weren't feeling the fear, then you should not deploy and should check your work again because you're probably missing something critical.

On a gas range, all burners should be large burners don’t @ me.

Slack silently not updating on my work machine for 3 hours made for a peaceful morning which then turned into a VERY NOT PEACEFUL MORNING.

Started a new Hollow Knight save let's go.

Get out of my head.

i have compiled a list of free image resources inspired by our conversation about this last week. livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai...

Ok, so you “don’t get why accessibility is a big deal”… …but you take elevators, roll your suitcase, read captions in noisy bars, & appreciate the option to work from home. Friend, that’s disability justice improving your life.

Good pizzas last night. ☺️

Pizza night. 🍕

Like, it's not the technology that's bad, it's the lack of appreciation for the unique value of human spirit and intelligence. I'm not afraid of probabilistic inference, but I'm terrified that we're spending $300 billion this year alone on the theory that machines could possibly make humans obsolete

Random day off. Good start.

It’s been really surprising to me how many people don’t know how bad Substack is. If that’s you, no worries, check it out: leavesubstack.com

It’s cool to have a little porch these days. Get to sit out here and watch the neighborhood go by with Yuzu, just like our stoop in BK.

Sleepy kiddo.

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful. Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

The reason Big Tech CEOs like Zuck spend all their time speculating is because nothing they're shipping now is meaningful or useful to people. They're becoming irrelevant and the only way to try and stay in the discussion is to just make stuff up.

Happy Birthday, Vivi ~ ✨

Got this little guy in the mail today!

Just saw Austin Butler at the farmer’s market looking extremely Austin Butler.

Sunburned and happy. ☺️

It’s so on.

I swear every time I attempt to use AI to help with some code it goes the same way. Me: Hey you broke that. AI: Oh, sorry, it's fixed now. Me: Nope, still broken. In an infinite loop forever.
