Mark Gurman compares the Apple Vision Pro to the Meta VR Glasses, and adds some notes about new development:

Apple’s Vision team is now working on a completely revamped headset under the code name N224. Company engineers are exploring about four concepts for the device, including designs that offload internal components in the same way as Meta’s new product. But some senior Apple decision-makers view the external puck as a poor user experience and want the company to stick with something closer to an all-in-one design.

Sometimes I forget how much fun I have making software tricks that people don't even notice but contribute to the "it thinks like I do" feeling a of crafted UI. I think of it like walking on the Highline in NYC. You're just walking, right? But you're above it, in a city where a lot of what's going on is above you. And it's comfortable. Why? You don't need to know, it just is. But someone made it that way.

daveMigrates, and a personal note

When I started this project, I had a goal in mind that has been achieved. It was part of a project I named daveMigrates. The goal was to use new hardware and system software to do the work I was doing in Frontier. At first we got a portion of Frontier working, planning to u...

Worked on Epilogue this weekend, adding a new layout for the iPad. This also gets it a step closer to iPhone Duo support.

Milestone. We were able to get the DocServer site for Frontier to build. Here's the page for the file verbs. It worked the first time, but there were errors. Fixed them and while the site looks dated, of course -- it was created in the 90s, I think, we got past this one. We will update the CSS to be more like the DocServer site for Drummer, which was done a couple of years ago. Almost everyone on the team contributed to this site, Wes Felter, Andre Radke and of course Jake Savin and Brent Simmons, and myself. I see that a lot and it makes me happy to see this group effort preserved.

Weekend Update on SNL: Dario Amodei. “If we can pressure lawmakers to create guardrails, we will be able to stop me.” 🤣

What a lovely day

There’s some surf coming in because of some storms offshore. Felt like making a reel, so I did. I also put it on Instagram and TikTok. It’s fun to look back and see fun rides. Why not slap them together. And click those links below the video! artlung.com/videos/reels/rideawave2026/

Got my print copy of The Fires of December. Love the secondary ink color. I started the ebook already and I’m about halfway through it.

The bigco's really think they own the web: "XSLT v1.0, which all browsers adhere to, was standardized in 1999. In the meantime, XSLT has evolved to v2.0 and v3.0, adding features, and growing apart from the old version frozen into browsers. This lack of advancement, coupled with the rise of JavaScript libraries and frameworks that offer more flexible and powerful DOM manipulation, has led to a significant decline in the use of client-side XSLT. Its role within the web browser has been largely superseded by JavaScript-based technologies such as JSON+React." In other words we don't need these features for our sites so fuck off.

Muse’s mission

Alexandr Wang, who went to Meta when Meta acquired 49% of his company Scale AI, posted on X about why he’s building Muse. It starts like this: Most people never say what they want. It’s not because we don’t want. We want fiercely and constantly. It happens in the moments be...

Screen shot of the Apps table in Frontier. Most of the apps are very old, but we added two new ones this week, for Mastodon (shown) and Bluesky, added today. There's a lot of information in the screen shots, and when I see something like that in my travels, I'll try to call it out on the new site.

Updated my Texas state parks page with this week’s visit. Making slow progress, only 32 parks in. It’s gonna take several more years. I think next up I will hit a few near the gulf coast at once.

Now people are saying that the OpenAI agent is called simply lowercase “o”? Please tell me this is a placeholder code name or a shortcut command-line tool. Aeon is a good name. Hope OpenAI hasn’t completely lost their mind.

Awe

Two people slightly in front of me, to my left, crane their heads to the sky, following the one-hundred-and-eighty-year-old structure to our right. They slowed down as they walked. Does awe have a pace? I walk past the monument often, a reminder of the literary history of th...

Autumn

The sun danced with the clouds in a competition where both the clouds and the sun wins, for there is always light and cloud. The music was the melody of morning, a morning on which I saw the first frost lying on the quiet grass by the river, a few days after having seen the ...

Okay Typosphere, Who else is using their typewriter to converse with others via web and Webmention?

White index card with blue typed words: "A new typewriter feature ENABLED: @mentions on the web!"
As I was scrolling along yesterday, a post about the lovely Professional Elite typeface popped up in my feed on Reddit. It linked back to Tom Fasano’s website, so I read the original there. I noticed a syndication icon at the bottom and stopped dead in my tracks! Had I run into a fully featured … Continue reading Okay Typosphere, Who else is using their typewriter to converse with others via web and Webmention?

A typewritten index card nestled in to the keyboard of a green Olympia SM3 which reads: "Tom! Surely a first in technology history: My green 1959 Olympia SM3 with the Professional Elite No. 41 typeface is saying hello to your Bron Olympia SM3 with a similar Professional Elite face from my website to yours by way of webmention. What can't a typwriter accomplish these days?!? Perhpas they'll meet in the near future in-person at a type-in? Warmest regards, Chris"
Tom, a hello from my typewriter to yours!
