Ian Spalter, Head of Design at Instagram, on Medium: The evolution of the community has been inspiring, and we hope that we’ve captured some of the life, creativity, and optimism people bring to Instagram every day. Our hope is that people will see this app icon as a new creative spark — something to have fun with and make their…
Monica Dinculescu gets all geeky about how emoji are rendered in the Chrome browser. It is a great read but she makes this very important point: Emoji does not have a plural in Japanese, so stop trying to make emojis happen. Now you know.
I have the ear hair of a 90yr old Abe Vigoda and the chest hair of a 9yr old Macaulay Culkin. I guess it balances out?
We are in for a gorgeous evening. Oh, and I mowed the lawn like an adult.
An all-new kayak from Oru Kayak, Beach. It's the easiest collapsible boat in the world to put together, taking just three minutes. Its 28" width makes it stable and comfortable. The open cockpit makes entry a breeze, for paddlers of all shapes and sizes. I love the design and it looks like there are tons of improvements, both…

Space X killed it last night.
Last year gave us our first real photograph of Pluto. I hope in the next few we’ll see a man waving back to Earth from the moon (again) and from Mars. And a photo of a robot on a moon of Jupiter.
I miss John Candy.
I didn't know long-pressing on the camera in iMessage was a thing.
Grateful to be invited to a friends house tonight. It feels good to be invited.
Dogfish Head Brewing, October 2015
One thing I’m forever fascinated by is how the local landscape affects sunlight, weather patterns, wind speed, etc. Meteorology with a view from the ground, if you will. Isn’t it fascinating that where I live, in a very small stream valley, above a larger river valley, between two small mountains, has a wholly different temperature, wind speed, and…
Spinning the Interstellar soundtrack today.
It is May the Fourth so May the Fourth be with you and all of that. But look at this.
I’ve written more code in the last six months than I did in the previous six years.
I’ve been digging Antonín Dvořák lately.
GoPro’s Quik app is impressive.
On March 29th I began syncing to iCloud Photo Library using Photos on OS X. Today, over a month later, I’m just over halfway done. For context, you may want to read Photo stats and observations, and A few iCloud Photo Library observations. As with those last two posts I’m going to provide a laundry list of observations…
