I wonder if the rent in the West Village has anything to do with all these yuppie frat bros on the train watching literal golf on their huge iPhones.

NYC needs to release an album that alienates the normies and finance bros so they move back to Iowa in disgust.

You can’t sue TikTok for terms of service when they go dark on a Tuesday and you still had 40 videos in your queue of people doing dances to your insurance company’s jingle for “virality”.

Aulait is live in the App Store if you're a coffee person looking for a simple way to keep your brewing recipes and notes.

I submitted Aulait, my app for coffee people, to the App Store today. I love experimenting with coffee, but recording notes was a hassle. I wanted a simple app to keep my recipes organized.

I also included some of my favorite recipes for common brewing methods. Check it out: www.aulait.app

Implementing a widget in an iOS app has taken longer than the app itself.

Maybe now that TikTok is gone we can stop saying “unalived” when we mean “killed”.

I love watching TV episodes of things like ‘48 Hours’ with chyrons for long-dead social networks baked into the video.

“Do you think Joe is innocent? Send a pinsquonk on Zabo to $48hours!”

My final mini-project of the year. Aided Journal prompts you with three journaling questions, then exports your answers as a Markdown file for Obsidian, Apple Journal, etc.

I'm terrible at journaling and I hope this helps in the new year.

Police have obtained shocking surveillance footage of UnitedHealthcare denying 32% of claims for purely financial reasons, while posting their largest profit ever. Warning, this footage is graphic.

Urban archaeology on the subway. Last remaining bits of a Nokia N Series poster. What a ride.

So you’re telling me the guys who were raised with Darth Vader t-shirts and Patrick Bateman memes, binging ‘Succession’, turned out to be an unreliable electorate?

They pushed that content away only because they couldn’t find a way to solve the the problem of (a) ensuring that said content would only be right wing, and (b) also ensuring the site did not rapidly become a hellscape. It’s a trick, of course, because such a place can’t exist.

Hello 👋 I'm a design technologist/UX-er type person, looking for other people into that sort of stuff. I also make music, take photos and other liberal arts 2.0 kinds of things. I've been on Threads for some time, but starting to get uneasy about Meta. Anyway, would really like to meet folks here.
