Gotta say, I love the quicker pace of the WWDC Keynote this year.

Just reaffirmed to myself that modern web development is 95% dependency management and 5% web development. Is this what developer experience means?

As I watch COVID-19 rates increasing around the country this seems appropriate.

A few days in with fiber internet and am very happy with it. Download speeds are about the same, but upload speeds are much much much better. In addition I don’t have little connection losses the way I did before. Just sent my cable cancellation request. Feels great.

PS5 industrial design is pretty fresh. I prefer the next Xbox’s monolith look, but I like seeing people try new things. The design of the PS5 controllers is awesome.

I’m sure the article is interesting but I can’t stop looking at the illustrations long enough to read it. Just stunning.

Craig Mod’s writeup of the state of software hits home for me. It’s not a macOS vs iPad vs web issue, it’s a software development culture and practice issue.

Happy that my wife is out marching against systemic racism and police brutality with other physicians and healthcare workers in Seattle today. Let’s keep this wave rolling. Seems appropriate on the anniversary of D-Day when Americans stormed the beaches against fascism.

I keep hearing rumors about over-ear Airpods coming at some point from Apple. I would love that if they don’t hurt my ears because of my glasses. At this point I’m switching between over-ear headphones and AirPods every video conference. Trading inner ear ache for outer ear ache.

Toast with Peanut Butter 👍
Toast with Butter + Peanut Butter 🥳🎉

The AirPods Pro are pretty great. Transparency mode and noise cancellation are awesome. The biggest issue I’m having is finding the right in-ear headphone fit.

My son, the conqueror, surveying his domain.

Had a great afternoon at Deception Pass with the family on Friday.

Started rewatching Monk with my wife. It’s the perfect quarantine detective show. The Fraidy Cop episode truly is an inspiration.

Oh upload speed, oh upload speed, how pathetic is thy progress.

Trying the Star Wars machete order with the family, but we keep stalling trying to watch the prequels. It’s such a chore to get through them.

This great video on the history of Polaroid reminds me of a paper I wrote on the subject for business school.

Considering a cookie jar for my desk. Good idea or terrible mistake?

Almost all cooking and baking at my house for years has been vegetarian, and for the last 6 months or so it’s almost all vegan. In baking I’ve found good substitutes for eggs and butter. Cheese, on the other hand, is still rough going, despite Miyokos being great.

The affordances of physical books always surprise me with how well my mind can map them when I compare it to attempting to recall the specifics of something I read in an ebook.
