Having so many apps, the context switch between code bases is starting to become a problem. Thinking about how we can improve this going forward. Ideally each major app or platform would have someone leading it.

A silo is a place where developers feel protected from the unbounded world of the web. In return they are completely controlled by the silo owner. The owner decides where you can go, and can and do revoke privileges. Developers in silos are mostly powerless. Companies usual...

A typography savant on staff had spent a month designing link underlines (literally just lines) that were more visually pleasing than Chrome or Safari’s defaults. On Tuesdays, engineers stayed late at the office, fixing design imperfections over dinner. One of them began a 2,500-word post about Medium’s CSS code with a quote attributed to Lil Wayne: “I … Continue reading Best Trash →

Matt Mullenweg blogged about the surprising twist with Midjourney Medical:

David Holz, one of the most underrated pioneers in AI, has taken money from making cat pictures to build a full-body ultrasound scanner that can give you incredible visibility in 60 seconds.

This post develops my thoughts on the theme of home that I first explored with focus in Home. You may appreciate reading Home before continuing to read this post. Whenever people ask me where I live, I have, for so long, spoken about the proximity to the city, knowing that E...

The warm glow at the door, intensified by the morning sun beaming and then reflecting on the blank walls of the hallway, is the first colour I notice when I wake. I then look around and see the blue around the blinds – colour from the evening before, but seen from a new persp...

I’m sorry I couldn’t be there in person, but I was so excited to watch the Midjourney Medical launch from afar. This is a really big deal. David Holz, one of the most underrated pioneers in AI, has taken money from making cat pictures to build a full-body ultrasound scanner that can give you incredible … Continue reading Midjourney Medical →

Watched: The Truman Show. So good. Haven’t seen it in years and it holds up perfectly. 🍿

In London, a bit tipsy and accidentally on the wrong Underground line. It’s a vibe, and one that makes me wish I actually lived here.

Blue light passes through the edges of the black-out blinds as I lie holding a pillow, on the edge of dreaming. When I look back on my choice to study art history, I feel delighted. This year I have been pushed in new ways: to write essays short and long, to write stories, t...

Here’s the talk I gave yesterday at Na Píobairí Uilleann in Dublin all about The Session. True to the title, I played some notes on my mandolin to accompany the narrative.

Finished reading: The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee. Fantastic. Great world-building, viewpoint switch, and just the right plot surprises. 📚

Love the detail of using these bricks instead of just white paint. The workers put a lot of extra time into cutting everything just right.

Manu Moreale blogs that he’s tired of all the crap: The problem is that there’s also an infinite amount of depressing and/or enraging shit out there on the web, and even though I’m not on any social media platform of any kind, I’m still exposed to that crap. And I’m tired o...

Daveigh Chase has passed away. She was Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, Chihiro in Spirited Away, and also in Donnie Darko. Andreas Deja blogged about working with her:

Working on the character of Lilo was a profoundly moving experience for me as an animator. Daveigh’s voice performance was utterly unique and inspired, presenting a brand-new challenge and the perfect opportunity to bring an unorthodox Disney girl to life.

It’s hard to imagine how someone went from that experience — a movie that will be remembered for a hundred years — to such a low point of personal struggles, even homelessness.

The WordPress community likes to say that WordPress powers a certain percentage of the web. This always bothered me, couldn't figure out why, until just now. WordPress is part of the web, that's the nature of the web. There should be no difference between how you connect via...

Today's song: "You who choose to lead must follow. "

I rarely ask my Echo to play a song, because after it plays it wants to know if I want to hear a notice. And there goes the buzz from having listened to one of my favorite songs that perfectly catches the moment.
