SIDE PROJECT ALERT! A lil' cheeky teaser for a super fun passion project I'm cooking up with my friend and master of the methodical, Jack Hayward... more soon!
If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔
It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚
New side project incoming!! Me and my buddy Jack are combining our skills of design + fabrication + love of buttons… stay tuned for more!!
“Legitimate interests is now our legal basis for using your information to improve Meta Products.”
Alright, Zuck. 😂
Here’s what's included:

… e.g. your content (including audio), messages, metadata, location, device characteristics and device software, apps, “what you're doing on your device, such as whether our app is in the foreground”, identifiers that tell your device apart from other users’, device signals, information about the network that you connect your device to, including your IP address, and, of course, “information from cookies and similar technologies” – and so much more.
Sounds totally legitimate to me. 😂
Yes, yes, yes, yes, @jasonsantamaria! 👏
“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

Right then! Pretty damn serious about making a hardback art book to celebrate 25 years of ‘being Jamfactory’ in 2026. Doing some research on formats and sizes of some of my favourite design books. One thing I do know is mine will be neon pink + metallic gold! 👍
Just bought a lifetime license for Atmos because it is just sooo good for creating perceptually uniform color palettes – including a shade generator, a contrast checker, OKLCH support, CSS export, a Figma plugin, online sharing, and, and… 😍 👉 https://atmos.style

Using Ray-Ban Meta Glasses
I wrote about the advantages of wearable AI tech for blind people back in 2020, when I bought a pair of Envision Glasses. At the time they felt revolutionary, and indeed they were, but they never became part of my everyday tech. I've had my pair of Ray-Ban Meta Glasses for a...
I wish I was famous enough to be asked by @letterboxd.social what my four favourites are… “Why yes, thank you for asking; The Fast and the Furious 2 Fast 2 Furious The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Requiem For A Dream”
