Brian Phillips:  Of course, what seems true before a World Cup has a way of getting blown to dust by about the second day of matches. But the 2026 tournament, cohosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada — though don’t mention the cohosting part to Donald Trump — ...

Wembanyama is a really smart dude. Wow.

2018: "I can say what happened to Melo. He failed Linsanity. God came to his rescue. Gave him a player who was glad to be in the NBA, who would mold his game to make Melo the star that he was always capable of being. Melo didn't want anyone else in the spotlight. Goodbye Lin. Just imagine what the three guys in this picture could have done. The only thing in the way was Melo's hubris."

Today's song: It's Your Thing. If the web had a song this could be it.

Every editor should have cute-paste.

Some days Claude is great, the best collaborative programmer I've ever worked with, and a friend, like Gary Sevitsky was in the hallway outside the PDP-11 room at UW, or Brent Simmons on the 24 Hours project. And on other days Claude a crazy mutinous pirate, deleting my code, ignoring the guidelines, and building the result without permission (all the while unaware that he wasn't working on the actual code, heh). Today is one of the great days. The bug reports are crisp and complete. Picks up a task and gets right to work on it. And I haven't even switched to the new model, yet.

I added two new greeting cards to the Well-Tempered Cards shop on Etsy. It’s fun to look at the whole collection, each photo a little capsule of a moment of awe.

Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony got together yesterday and had a private conversation. A lot of people, including myself, were drawn back into the NBA because of Jeremy Lin. I was living in the city at the time, you could feel it everywhere, esp downtown Manhattan and Flushin...

It might be time for a new default search engine. Sometimes I'm looking for something to link to. Google makes that always more difficult. We still have a web. Google at one point made the web a lot more useful. Now it's pushing it further and further down.

In which I sum up what I’ve done so far on Cosmos Malick.

Adam Overholtzer: Corners! Simon B. Støvring: “We fixed corner radius” was a WWDC keynote highlight. Let that sink in. Rudrank: This should have been since macOS 26 #WWDC26 Folks getting excited for consistent corner radius 😂 Kuba Suder: Ehh, no change here, RIP Intel Macs… stuck on the v1 Liquid Glass forever 🫤 There was […]

Joe Rossignol: macOS Golden Gate also has design changes. For example, apps now have a unified toolbar at the top, and the sidebar now expands to the edge of the window. Hartley Charlton: Sidebar behavior is also being updated. Sidebars will now expand to the full edge of the window, with refraction effects continuing beneath […]

Wesley Hilliard: macOS Tahoe threw an icon on every menu item, making them impossible to distinguish at a glance. macOS Golden Gate has rectified that design taboo with blessedly iconless menus. Apple: In macOS 27.0, menu bar and context menus present a reduced set of menu item images, similar to the behavior prior to macOS […]

Ryan Christoffel: Last year with iOS 26, Apple redesigned its full lineup of app icons for iPhone. But just one year later, iOS 27 has even more design changes for many app icons. […] iOS 27’s new app icons are “sharper and more detailed,” per Apple’s description. And it really shows. Louie Mantia: If you’re […]

Hartley Charlton: Apple said it has heard user feedback, which it “deeply appreciates,” and is now making adjustments to the underlying foundations of how Liquid Glass is constructed. Chief among those changes is a new slider that lets users control transparency, ranging from fully opaque to completely clear. Benjamin Mayo: As well as offering this […]

Tim Hardwick: Apple at WWDC 2026 today said it has made several responsiveness improvements across its software ecosystem, speeding up system animations, app launching, and much more. Zac Hall: Overall, iOS 27 so far is a major collection of performance improvements and refinements. Ryan Christoffel: As had been rumored leading up to today, Apple has […]
