We Don't Need More Cynics. We Need More Builders.

[Joan Westenberg] An absolutely spot-on call to action: "Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or destined to fail. The real challenge? Building something bette...

I’ve been ignoring most podcasts over the last month. This morning, listened to the latest Dithering on my walk. It’s got everything you need to know about the TikTok ban and new interest in Xiaohongshu (RedNote).

Changing

It always annoys me when a politician is accused of “flip-flopping” when they change their mind on something. Instead of admiring someone for being willing to re-examine previously-held beliefs, we lambast them. We admire conviction, even though that’s a trait that has been ...

I haven’t installed the latest iOS 18.3 beta yet, but just from screenshots I like this italicized change for notification summaries.

Scripting News Valid

Before declaring democracy over, as our major news orgs and tech companies seem to have, remember there are still 50 states, most of whom still seem to accept that votes must be counted, and the winner is who gets the most, not the one who sends in a mob to trash the state Capitol.

Scripting News Valid

Now that I have a search engine for my blog, I can reliably look for all instances of Wordle Kitty which was a character I was playing around with last year with ChatGPT. It even comes out in reverse chronologic order, and it's better than Google which ignores a lot of my blog these days. My own search engine doesn't do that of course.

Very small example of a Siri paper cut and why I avoid using it. This morning I got a text while driving asking “what time” something was. I responded with “ten thirty”, and Siri sent “1030” instead of “10:30”. Not a big deal, but there are countless scenarios like this.

Scripting News Valid

When I buy a domain speculatively, I usually put up some kind of placeholder page with a title, picture and tagline. Like feediverse.org. I pushed a link to it yesterday, and got back this possibly snarky response, but still thought provoking. Why isn't there a feed for the ...

Conference line-ups

When I was looking back at 2024, I mentioned that I didn’t give a single conference talk (though I did host three conferences—Patterns Day, CSS Day, and UX London). I almost spoke at a conference though. I was all set to speak at an event in the Netherlands. But then the li...

TikTok threatening to shut down completely on Sunday — which is more than is required by the law — is such a transparent attempt to influence the supreme court and others. Good riddance. It’s not great if everyone just joins Reels, but we need a shake-up.

Hesitantly booked my first cycling trip to France in order to watch the start of #TDF2025 in July. Praying it won't rain heavily and all the potential fail points of trains/ferry/cycling on foreign roads won't scupper it
