This year, I'm trying to be a lot more intentional with my videos in terms of how products help me and how they can maybe help others. It's weird to work on tech — tech leaders themselves have been really disappointing, and tech itself has never really been thoughtful enough....

two years, and it's just a pattern I see repeated going from software to content creation; We're often looking at what's in it for us, instead of what is the right thing to do. I don't most are doing it out of greed or malice, but it is something I wish we'd all just put a little more thought into.

Don't get me wrong, I still think tech is still an incredibly powerful tool that can be used for good things, but there is just so much wasted effort on making a buck, pushing bad products, and it's sometimes hard to feel overly positive about everything.

(at least in my lifetime) about what is good for folks, what is healthy, and if what they're doing is the right thing to do. This is something I struggled with as a software dev long before I picked up a camera, and I still think a lot about. It's one of the reasons I didn't go to CES the last...

Sometimes I’ll just put my AirPods in with the intention of playing something then I’ll just forget and have them in my ears for an hour for no reason

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

its weird to me that when I buy shit in the apple store they bring it out, and they're like "Congratulations on your new iPad!!!", like I didn't just buy it with my own money but won it in a raffle

S25 Ultra “Now Brief” telling me to enjoy my non-existent trip that I’ve been planning since never 😂 (havent left my house in two days)

It's kind of ironic that zuck thinks companies need more masculine energy, when the thing that's enabled him to be successful (software+programming) was predominantly created and developed by women in the 1940s.

Picked up most of the bigger stuff for the new studio setup. Gotta start tearing things down now and painting, probably a multi-week process, may have to film somewhere temporarily or see if I can get the one wall finished up enough, but I’m excited!

I've get a lot of questions asking how I film/edit my videos, what gear I'm using and requests to make videos about all if it — I'd love to do it, but it doesn't really fit with the channel, so thinking about making a YouTube membership where people can see that + BTS + free wallpapers.

Today I learned that if you have loose change in between a MagSafe case and a wireless charger, the coins get very hot and will definitely burn you 😅

Compaq Presario 2200! I remember downloading Doom over dial up internet, it took an entire day lol

Age yourself with your first computer. We got this Packard Bell 486 66Mhx system in 1995~ www.weavweb.net/2020/09/22/p... It was slow and ugly but it introduced me to the web, so I’ll love it forever. Look at that 2X CD ROM! 8MB of RAM!

Test print fits good! Just have to make a couple minor adjustments to the bottom legs to make sure everything is super stable, and add some spots for fasteners!

Worked on this thing all day, planning and making sure I get it right - the new Mac mini should fit perfectly in here when all is said and done!
