Remembering Jesus Ornelas
Today we honored the passing of Jesus Ornelas, the father of my friend Rene, whom I’ve known for 28 years now. At the service outpouring of love expressed in words, music, and presence was so powerful. Alongside his biological sons, I said a few words, which are as follows. My memories of Mr. Ornelas begin … Continue reading Remembering Jesus Ornelas →

The Steel Curtain Finally Falls On Mike Tomlin
I had a fantastic meeting today with Jonathan Desrosiers. I gave him a tour of all the software that makes up WordLand and FeedLand. It was the first time I had done that with anyone from the WordPress community. It started off with a simple story about how I knew I was on the right track when Matt announced they were porting Tumblr to run on top of WordPress as an OS. Which is exactly what I'm doing with my collection of software. Every bit of writing should be a WordPress post, and they should be linked together in arbitrary graphs. It was nice to do that with a serious developer, Jonathan is one of the lead developers of the open source WordPress. It helped me see all the different things we can do, and now hope we will do. I feel I understand this community, as a time-traveler from the past I think I understand what we should do next (and I have done it heh).
When I switched to the iPhone Pro Max, I gave up my iPad Mini, thinking the larger iPhone is good enough most of the time, and I’ve got the Kindle for reading. With AI-assisted coding, maybe the iPad has a new role… Jotting down ideas or firing off coding tasks to run from anywhere without a Mac.

Any sort of consternation around the Apple and Google deal for Gemini in Siri is severely misplaced. Apple hasn’t lost. If anything, this is a modern day “Microsoft” moment where they get a much needed boost from their top competitor. They’ll productize Gemini better than anyone else.

Are ICE officers doing what they’re trained to do?
Conflicting narratives of Renée Good’s killing in Minneapolis have quickly emerged – federal officials claim the ICE officer who shot her was acting in self-defense, while others believe her death was easily avoidable and that ICE’s tactics are overly aggressive.
Host Martine Powers speaks with immigration reporter Maria Sacchetti about how law enforcement officials are scrutinizing the shooting and what accountability in this case could look like.

The Macintosh iPhone case from Spigen arrived. It is indeed as awesome as it looks online. Sadly doesn’t come in the same kind of Apple-style box that I saw in influencer content though.
