AI didn’t do that, I just freaking killed it 💪 (members post) Members
This one is members-only largely because I don't want it to get too much reach, but it's a true story of how I did great work as a seasoned pro and some folks assumed I had to have used AI features to shortcut my way to the finish line. I'm happy to say it was all me.
I am so back! (members post) Members

My objectively* accurate iPod tier list (members post) Members
Taking a page from the ATP crew, I did a tier list for fun! We'll see how this one goes, but I think it's a lot of fun and will make people go "yes!" and "this guy is nuts!" in equal measure.

Supporting smaller creators and the unflinching march of time (members post) Members
We all have a finite amount of resources to move around, and today I'm exploring how I can make decisions that subtly shift what type of businesses and hobbyists I want to support. Oh, and time is a cruel, unflinching monster.
I disagree with you, but I understand why you feel that way (members post) Members
Today I explore why I'm frustrated with the opinions of others, and why I need to remind myself that there's gray area basically everywhere in the world.
I’ll just say it, I want an iPad that runs macOS (members post) Members
The more I think about it, the more I’m squarely in the camp of people who want iPad-like hardware that runs macOS, and I’m not sorry for saying it.

My Vision Pro spends most of its time in a drawer, and how that relates to cognitive bias (members post) Members
I reckon with why I'm generous with the Vision Pro falling short of my hopes while I'm happy to drag other products for doing the same thing. Also the best improvised version of Blur's Song 2 I've ever seen.
