In this new series, I’m working out thoughts before I’ve figured out what I really think. Today is about the fundamental issue holding back the Humane Pin (despite the AI silliness).
Today we're diving into how to design an effective modal interface, why button text really matters, and a few cool links with data that might surprise you.
What do I use chatbots to actually do day to day? People are always so vague about this stuff, so let's go into my real search history and find out what I find them useful for.
A short story of a broken furnace, a wealth of information, and the need for experts to save the day. Oh, and the most badass portfolio site I've ever seen.

I got a new headset, but it's not the one everyone is talking about.
Today's member post looks at a part of computer tech that I can still make my own, a writer who always keeps me guessing, a weather app that’s not CARROT, and more!
This inaugural More Birchtree post delves into what we want to get out of video game representation, a shout out to my favorite current writer, one of my all-time favorite apps, and a few cool goodies like the Wii Shop music on Amazon.
