I finished Things Become Other Things and it was an absolutely exquisite read and a beautiful physical book. I couldn’t put it down. I replaced nearly everything else I would normally spend time doing over a weekend and read instead. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a while. I was already a big fan of Craig’s work. Now I’m an even bigger fan. I’m planning to go see him when he’s in LA. Last time I saw him was at XOXO last year. He interviewed Jason Kottke. I also went on a fun photo walk around Portland organized by Sam (I think) and captured a nice photo of them talking.

The Beth Gibbons Tiny Desk is really something.

I continue to find great things such as this in Bear’s Discovery feed

I finally broke down and got a subscription to Kagi, not just because it’s really the best (traditional) search engine, but because I want Kagi to exist in the world. I’ve also been using their Orion browser, but I’m still using Arc as my daily driver.

Turnstile performing live in Baltimore. Wow. Maybe things will be ok.

I’m a big Neal Stephenson fan. He posted his remarks on AI from a recent conference. You should read the whole thing, but this was particularly concerning. It aligns with what I hear from the students I speak to.

Apple’s “Hold That Thought” Shortcut for Global Accessibility Awareness Day is the kind of Apple I love seeing – clever and useful. (h/t matthewcassinelli)

I got two new (paper) books this week – Things Become Other Things by Craig Mod, which I began immediately and Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity by Eric Topol.

I can’t stop staring at the power houses. I just keep zooming in to look at all the little details.

Enjoyed Simone Giertz’s latest video where she made a flip clock moon thingie.
