  • This weekend we had a good friend come by and do our annual family photos. He brought a special treat of a camera that took me back to using iMac’s in the computer lab in school. A Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD7 complete with floppy disk storage.

    Naturally I used it to take photos of my dogs and you know what, they turned out much better than I expected.

  • Apparently the trick to US customs is being a software developer going to San Francisco. He almost forgot to ask me to take my mask off

  • Today at work we hit general availability on one of the most challenging projects I’ve tackled, “how do you take the password out of 1Password”. Unlock with Okta is the result.

    Our security team did a wonderful job detailing how we solved the problem and maintained end to end encryption.

    I went looking for a keyboard and mouse combo with multi device support and immediately gave into nostalgia for my university days.

    I stopped posting to Twitter entirely a while ago and had been cross posting from my blog only for a few years before that. Mostly I was keeping my account for a mix of sentimental reasons and it being an authentication method to some hockey analytics stuff.

    At some point I set a reminder for today to go and grab a screenshot of the 15 year anniversary of joining Twitter. It seemed like forever for something on the internet and somehow important. The last week I kept thinking “will Twitter make it to Tuesday!?!

    I enabled activitypub support on my site years ago but beyond micro.blog interactions it was more novel than useful.

    Even if it’s short lived it has been fun to see people following me from several mastodon instances in the last week.

    Tire swing on fire.

    Given that Crypto.com is the first suggested Ad on the App Store search page either they aren’t hit by this recent down turn OR they are doubling down on acquiring new people to inject liquidity into the scam.

  • The part of the Apple event that excited me most wasn’t the iPad or new devices. It was that the Mac mini and Macbook Air are 100% recycled aluminum.


  • Starting travel off right by time travelling to the land of private pay phones.

  • A good read on the importance of recognizing the right tool for the right job.
