Found a cool relic today! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a spindle of pocket CDRs.
This has to be one of the strangest “collectible” tie-ins for a movie!
Took a little day trip to a classic! Still the best root beer around!
Super fun Lego build to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws!
Was expecting to see more Tron Ares content at the theaters since it is coming out in October. It was cool to see this 3D glasses bin though last night!
While researching some Led Zeppelin Bootlegs, I came across an official page still available with the most 2000s era website design still intact! This design style is still so unique and fun! www.ledzeppelin.com/show/seat…
Tweaked the app I’m working on to use some sheets for basic interactions. Really surprised how nice SwiftUI handles sheets with various positions options!
Nothing better than watching some classic Doctor Who to end the day!
Interesting article from Ars Technica explaining just how bad the hiring process has become. The insane number in the very first sentence, “Employers are drowning in AI-generated job applications, with LinkedIn now processing 11,000 submissions per minute—a 45 percent surge from last year, according to new data reported by The New York Times.”
Apple’s built-in writing tools for summarization are pretty great, which tracks seeing as Mac OS has always had a good summary tool built in even to earlier versions. However, web apps that take over the default right-click action, like Google Sheets/Docs, really put a stop to easily using Apple’s tools. It is a bit of a letdown, and I wish Apple had some way to still present the writing tool option in these cases.
Smallest pieces of Tamago sushi I’ve ever had!
Really itching to put Tahoe on my traveling MacBook Air so I can prep some updates for my Mac apps. But seeing as the only way to downgrade is to wipe that Mac completely makes me a little more hesitant.
Making some great progress on the Lego Batwing set!
Finally sitting down and tackling this awesome Lego build I picked up last year!
Still pretty shocked at the on-device foundation models’ performance of the new OSs from Apple. Sure, they don’t have live internet connections to pull recent data, but for historic knowledge base questions and content generation, it is pretty good so far!
Nothing is more frustrating than the new splash screen animation for the Amazon app to promote Prime Day. I miss the days when apps focused more on launch speed than promoting a sale. Although, I doubt Amazon ever cared a ton about app launch speed.
Spent the whole day working with Google’s Cloud Run platform. Have to admit, Google’s API documentation and sample code are solid! Still can’t believe how easy it was to follow and get my Docker container up and running.
Visited the first McDonald’s location yesterday. Had a really fun little museum of all the toys and McDonald’s merchandise!
The surprisingly helpful makeshift standing desk at my hotel. Non-adjustable, but it works!
Really loving iPad OS 26 on the iPad mini. The multitasking works great even on the smaller screen!
