I’m going to save a lot on dog toys. Puppy has discovered her new obsession. Hunting ants.
because the process could be completed in such a short time, the goal shifted from producing well-made and thorough documents to checking off a list that documents existed…
Thoughtfully written piece by my friend Joe.
Reading content within LinkedIn feels like doing something positive for your career, just as scrolling social media feels like reading the news.
This May marks my 6th year of work at The Weather Company. During that time I’ve learned a lot about weather bulletins including that the general public gets confused between watches and warnings. This is my favorite explanation I’ve found. Stay safe out there, everyone.
I asked Gemini to go out on the web and bring me back some UI inspiration for a design concept I’m working on. After a helpful back and forth clarifying, it told me it’d have results for me by end of day today—it was 10am when I made the request. I will be shocked if this is not a hallucination.
Interesting that both Glitch and Pocket are shutting down on the exact same day, July 8. I specifically bought a Kobo Reader because I could use a “read it later” service from an e-ink screen to give my eyes a break. Sad day for me.
Congrats to Crystal Palace on their FA Cup trophy! A lot of silverware history being written in English football this year.
At an in-person conference for the first time since 2019. Feels good so far. If you’re at UXPA 2025 Boston today, keep your eye out for me. I’d love to meet you.
In Massachusetts we have annual vehicle inspections. I used to call it “emissions testing” but there’s a safety assessment too. I brought my EV in for inspection today and the guy said “sorry, you failed emissions testing.” I responded “oh no, is my exhaust rusted out?”
No complaints about the end of this Houston Duke game. What resilience from Houston. Never quit. Belived in their tenacious defense.
I hope a lot people have had the opportunity to listen to at least some of Cory Booker’s speech today. He’s just set the record for longest speech in Congress (24hrs+, without bathroom breaks) and he’s a great storyteller. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK…
Thank you, Senator Cory Booker. Saving a country is complicated. We the people don’t expect Dems or anti-Trump factions to be able to solve this crisis in one fell swoop. What we would like you to do is something. Thanks for standing up.
Musk revolutionized rocket construction by building them like software: make, test, iterate. NASA can’t routinely blow up rockets. When SpaceX ships stop blowing up, humans ride in them.
The fundamental problem DOGE doesn’t understand with government is humans are always on the ship.
Can we stop calling Signal a “commercial texting app”? It’s a highly secure text app that’s made by a well-regarded non-profit solely dedicated to creating a free, secure platform that knows nothing about its users.
It should never be used by the American government for classified anything.
