Blue Origin’s New Shepard lands again
This video is absolutely mind-blowing. Everything about this was science fiction a few years ago. In fact, the video looks fake while you watch it because you can’t believe this is happening on Earth. And now with some regularity. Watching this video makes me think that I’ll be alive when people (perhaps even with their

Woke up at 6:45a and built an import tool for Barley
Woke up at 6:45a and built an import tool for Barley 1 users to migrate to Barley 2. I thought this was going to be a herculean task but I ended up finishing in under 3 hours and 61 lines of code. A good reminder that sometimes I worry about things being tougher than they

The Model 3 looks like an amazing car and it is an equally amazing achievement. Congrats Tesla. Interesting to note: they brought in 115 million dollars in downpayments and have over 4 billion dollars committed. Not bad for a single day. No wonder Apple wants a peice of this pie.

iPhone SE reviews
The greatest living bearded blogger, Jim Dalrymple, on The Loop: I still think it’s going to make for an incredible upgrade for those iPhone 5s users, but I also think it’s going to appeal to some current iPhone 6 users. A lot of people upgraded to the newest design for the technology, and of course,

Get used to the sight of people lining up for cars. Tesla is as beloved as Apple. If Apple jumps into the auto-arena we’ll see this happening again. Happy day to all of you out there nabbing a Tesla 3. I wish I could.

A few iCloud Photo Library observations
Somewhat related: Photo stats and observations. I began the switch to iCloud Photo Library a few days ago and so far it has been a mixed experience. Since weaving a good narrative is not in my wheelhouse, here is a laundry list of observations that I’ve made over the last few days. iCloud Photo Library

Snapchat’s Chat 2.0
Nearly all of the tech coverage I read about Snapchat’s latest update lead with “stickers” being part of the update. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bob the walrus. But how can they not lead with the fact that they’ve added realtime video and voice calling? I remember the first time I ever tried video chatting

Dustin Kirkland and Ubuntu on Windows
Dustin Kirkland on his blog: Finally, I imagine some of you — long time Windows and Ubuntu users alike — are still wondering, perhaps, "Why?!?" Having dedicated most of the past two decades of my career to free and open source software, this is an almost surreal endorsement by Microsoft on the importance of open

IFTTT tries to strong arm Pinboard
Maciej Cegłowski on Pinboard’s blog: It’s entirely IFTTT’s decision to drop support for Pinboard (along with a bunch of other sites). They are the ones who are going to flip the switch on working code on April 4, and they could just as easily flip the switch back on (or even write an IFTTT recipe

Giving iCloud Photo Library a whirl. First observation is that it destroys your connection to the Internet. No other device on the network even knows the world exists outside these walls.

Instagram’s feed going algorithmic may be the best reason to try Snapchat out since they never even had a feed. Interesting times to see how the “feed wars” will end up. I wonder if I’ll even be using Instagram in a year.
