In the future, our pocket computers (or glasses or whatever) will have apps that we get from an app store and apps that people “make” for themselves and a very small number of people. Apps like bitrig (great name, btw) will make this more possible.

My legendary friend Mark Ghuneim has a new company called Storyboard. Excited for him!
I’ve been in a sort of browser purgatory since the whole Arc thing went down. I have come to appreciate, on occasion, having tab-aware context in my browser and think what The Browser Company is doing with Dia Skills is kinda neat. One of the small things I have come to appreciate about pinned tabs in Dia is that, similar to Arc, when I click on a link in a pinned tab, it creates a new tab. Safari also behaves this way. No command key required. Whereas Perplexity’s Comet browser, by default, opens a link in a pinned tab in that pinned tab! WTAF?! I filed a bug.
As a T-Mobile customer, this makes me pretty angry, but I also know that’s life these days. If you are also a T-Mobile customer, make sure you opt out and check the other settings. You can do so by following these steps:

You should be able to do similar on AT&T and Verizon, which I recommend you do.
We gathered to celebrate one our dearest friends, Souris, last night. She (and JP) are the glue for our community of artists, technologists, hackers, makers and other misfits. Their arms stretch around the world, embracing us and connecting us always. Big love.
I’ve had our Moccamaster coffee maker for long enough to tell you that the quality of the cup that it produces is excellent. No question. That combined with the convenience of not doing two pour-overs for me and my wife every morning is a big time saver. My biggest issue is plastic parts in hot coffee and it may be enough for me to get rid of it or figure out a solution.
Had a father/daughter date night tonight. We had soba (and other Japanese dishes) and then went to see The Fantastic Four movie, which I thought was pretty good! We both enjoyed it. It was nice to see a movie with some hope.
As soon as I got the email from Thom, I rushed to begin listening.
In the process of thinking how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail to the Thief theatre production I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs.
I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played and it really helped me find a way forward. For us, back in the day, the finishing of this record was particularly messy and fraught, we were very proud of it but there was a taste left in our mouths, it was a dark time in so many ways…
Anyway we decided to get these live recordings mixed (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves) by Ben Baptie, who did an amazing job.
It has all been a very cathartic process, we very much hope you enjoy them.

I also ordered the blue vinyl. I do hope Radiohead releases a lot more live material. I’ve seen the band live more times than I’ve seen any other band by a long shot. Every single time is stunning. They are certainly one of the best live bands ever and if you know anything about there music, you’ll know that being able to pull it off live is a testament to their mastery.
The kids wanted to visit Dooley Creek Farm again, so we made some last-minute plans before we start the drive back to the big city. Last time we visited was in 2023. The kids enjoyed hanging with all the animals and learning more about regenerative farming.
