We are explorers.

Using Claude for all the right reasons.

New devlog is up, big thanks to @austinsoar.es for his input! youtu.be/Ip5i2FjIBGY

My best/wildest hand in a game of blackjack with friends.

A few months ago, I switched to the Pixel 10 Pro XL – the first android phone for me in over a decade. It's a fantastic phone and Gemini sprinkled throughout the day-to-day experience is far superior to Siri. Really the only thing I miss about iOS is the dynamic island and live activities.

Coming back to Bluesky after 6 months or so

June 5th, 2025

In town for Friends of @figma.com Boston #Config2025 watch party at MassArt. If you're a designer or dev going tonight, come find me. I'll be wearing a Red Sox cap. Can't miss me! Want to join? friends.figma.com/events/detai...

Breaking and entering - Blue Prince

Billions of dollars went into the development of Meta AI to tell me the price of cognac on a meme.

This was my favorite track of Justice's latest Hyperdrama. Afterlook feat. RIMON #musicvideo www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4gN...

Walks with this little gremlin, Copley always make for a good day.

Didn’t see many signs on assignment for the Boston Marathon, but this one was well-played. #severence #bostonmarathon

I for one am sick of all of these 'once-in-a-generation' economic crises.

Been using 4o image generation and described some Blade Runner inspired images. After two generations and a little bit of adjustments in Photoshop, this looks really nice. I'm impressed and this may become a series.

First Macan EV spotted in the wild for me. I think Porsche is onto something with this one.

The torque! The slippage! #AustralianGP

Hadjar devastated walking back. Difficult to see. #AustralianGP

#AustralianGP Formula 1 is back. With an aborted start. And a rookie in the wall. On the formation lap.

Really really interested in the Sigma BF (it's not for me, but it's a great exploration into innovative design). It's just plain cool. www.theverge.com/camera-revie...

Yay! I've missed a good little bird on my homescreen.

My stripes? White.

Happy 'Slack is down' day to those who celebrate.

👋 from the Swift team, now on Bluesky!

No gods or kings. Only man.

The home button is done for, long live the home button. The new iPhone 16e looks to be a great addition and the best choice for most people interested in a newer phone. www.apple.com/iphone-16e/

I know this effect has been done before, but this is my first attempt and I feel really great about it. Apple TV style card hover.

I need an LLM to pick which LLM I should use. OpenAI. Please.

8th Field Notes journal started. #joshuatree #fieldnotes

It’s the weekend, let’s party!

Hard pass.

Having ourselves a time in Portland, ME. Bring on the snow!

open! network! users don't have to rebuild their following all over again each time they switch to a different app, so platforms can't lock them in developers can bootstrap new social apps off an existing social graph of 27M+ people win-win 🤝

On this day 105 years ago, we lost 21 innocent Bostonians in the North End from a 25 foot wave of molasses traveling at 35 mph. One of the strangest incidents that could have been avoided with proper regulation and safety checks. We honor them today. #northend #boston #molassesflood #onthisday

It's better to think of your dogs as servers at a restaurant when they are coming up to you at the dinner table: "How's everything tasting so far? Can I get anything from you?"

I have a feeling that 2025 will show a LOT more green. Happy new year! #iosdev #buildinpublic

I miss living in Boston. This was my scenic route from my apartment to work along the waterfront.

I would love if there was a change to Apple News navigation to swap Audio or Sports with Puzzles. I find those to be so good for a downtime distraction.

Absolutely not a shocker here. My Apple Music Replay 24’ roll up. Justice, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar and so on. Great year of releases. #AppleMusic #Replay24

Class act, the (Blue)sky is the limit. @bsky.app @jay.bsky.team

In honor of #kendricklamar #gnx, the thoughts about the legend itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIPU...

Suddenly deep into some trip-hop once again. Mood feels right. Elysium from Portishead is bumping on the HomePods. music.apple.com/us/album/ely...
