I want to mock the sadness for Taco Bell removing Mexican pizza from their menu, but a top 5 pizza for me is mole poblano for sauce with shredded chicken, jalapeños, green onions, Oaxaca and cotija cheese, and roasted corn. . So 🤷♂️
The most recent Talk Show is really good. I’ve been pretty frustrated lately regarding App Store controversies (mostly frustrated with App Store defenders), but I loved this episode’s focus on developer community and the wonderings about what an open-web equivalent for mobile development could look like.
When people ask me what it’s like to design software I think I’ll respond that some days it’s like emptying shelves and then putting stuff back in them in a way that fits. Hopefully you can get rid of some of the stuff, but somebody else might be attached to it, so you’ve got to fit it somehow.
Just rewatched early 2000s Pride & Prejudice. Still great, but it reminds me that the recent Emma release is fantastic. If you haven’t seen it, give it a go.
First Cow was beautiful. So simple, deliberate, and human. It also portrays diversity in the west that is shocking because it is so clearly representative of what it actually was, but not at all what media portrayals tend to show.
Just voted in the Washington state primaries by mail, as everyone here does, and turns out nobody stole my ballot or waited by the mailbox with a shredder. Feels pretty safe and secure.
I recently watched A Hidden Life. It’s a film full of wondrous beauty and heart-wrenching questions. It is particularly timely and serves as a direct response to Martin Scorsese’s Silence, which was also great. The movie will leave you wondering what you would do, it certainly did for me. It may also lead you to ask what you are doing now.
I’ve been hearing a lot of comments from the Apple commentariat that they miss things about the old WWDC. I don’t doubt them, but for me the keynote and sessions are way better than they’ve ever been and I’ll be disappointed if they go back to the old format next year.
