Me going through security with the new touchless ID thing

I mistimed my “stuck at home stupid electronics project” for today’s blizzard (it is just starting now) but it came out pretty good. Stay warm everyone!

The guys who created Dark Sky and later sold it to Apple are back and have a new weather app out!

Visited Bell Works today, one of Bell Labs’ former locations where much of modern technology was invented. It also serves as HQ for Lumon in “Severance”.

It was designed by Eero Saarinen, who also designed the TWA terminal at JFK, the Gateway Arch, and a lot of other cool buildings.

I don’t say this sort of thing lightly because it is impossible to know but Jim would have loved this.

The Muppet Show is back!

@siracusa have you looked at pocket-id? It is a very lightweight, passkey-first auth system. I set it up for the exact use case you mentioned - needing to reimplement auth in a bunch of tiny Claude Code generated apps was a pain. Now I just tell Claude to implement auth via OIDC (which is well […]

Mini retro #things that actually work is an underrated product category

Tonight’s feature presentation

Eddie Sotto seemed like an extraordinarily talented and kind guy. He was always generous with his time in engaging on Twitter and elsewhere and I enjoyed talking about Disneyland Paris with him. Thankful that his work will live on to entertain for generations to come. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy 100th birthday, Dick Van Dyke!

I don't know why these are cool, but they are.

Got a nicely timed stop on the WEDway

Really enjoyed it

I think they plus glimmering greenhouses every year. Looked great tonight.

Now, they are back and doing a revival of 2011 "The Muppets" but there is no saving the theater from the evil scare barons.

All this and more in Disney Pixar's MONSTERS INC 2 coming this summer.

TFW you want that sweet parking revenue for the party night but don’t want the expense of a full parking cast.
