Some more progress on my tvOS Plex client

cat

Wildwood is absolutely mesmerizing with its animation quality and spectacle. As far as a movie more generally I think it's of a similar caliber to Kubo and not quite reaching Laika's peak of Paranorman.

Started doing a little bit of a side project for my own tvOS UI for Plex that feels a little more native to the platform and aligned with Apple's own app designs

Took some photos around the neighborhood

I'm sorry but even I don't think I'm capable of keeping it together at this kind of speed

I got a new camera

if you haven’t already do pls buy my game s.team/a/5140030/

I built chonkit to work well as a standalone iOS web w/ safe area inset aware styling. In an ultimate test I pulled it up onto the iPhone Duo simulator without making any changes to see how it'd fare. I think it's decent! Definitely not perfect but I don't think it needs many changes to look great.

hmmm

New watch day

Tuesdays are very good for TV right now

Blood of Dawnwalker has its fangs in me

I'm re-watching PsychOdyssey and just like last time it makes me want to try and learn how to build a game. If it's anything like last time though it'll just pass but maybe because I'm unemployed right now will change things.

Oh hey that’s me! (“Thank You Bus Driver” was very fun)

Made it to Seattle for PAX! The decision to drive was so worth it, and even with it raining most of the way it felt like a sightseeing tour almost the entire way there.

Started the 3 day road trip up to Seattle for PAX! Currently making my way through the Avenue of the Giants

Something I'm finding frustrating about interviews is that unless I absolutely knock it out of the park I really don't have a good idea of how well I did or not. I've had ones that I've felt good about getting mixed feedback and ones I've felt like I've bombed get almost all positive feedback.

I feel so fortunate that I'm job searching in a time where most of the companies I'm applying for have a "frontend track" so my skills can be best showcased instead of fumbling around with leetcode style questions.

The more system design interviews I do the more I think that it's actually just a behavioral interview in a technical trench coat. Most of my mental facilities end up going trying to sus out the vibes of the interviewer and what they want than actually designing a system.

kitties are getting more comfortable with the big white bear

Getting ready for the Spider-Man showing in ScreenX to balance out seeing Odyssey in 70mm IMAX

I'm working on chonkit again after a looooong hiatus and added the beginnings of an image gallery attachment. The CSS snap point powered carousel was an interesting challenge but I think I've finally got something good! (I know the static images are super low res atm I'm going to tackle that next)

The sun has no chance

About to do a mini road trip down to Connecticut in my dad’s TR6

It’s the Mayflower!

I have not been following the absolute latest developments of CSS as closely as I have in the past but this is *already* a major issue for large scale web apps. I always hated when debugging perf issues where all you'd get is a big block of "layout" or "compositing layers" with no deeper insight.

Thanks for the advance notice I guess

Just finished up the campaign to First Light. Was pretty consistently impressed with the storytelling throughout but that high bar it established made me disappointed with the final act(s). It felt incomplete & straightforward compared to the thought & care the story had towards the beginning.

My new toy I got myself to celebrate getting laid off

I told my cats that they needed to increase their adoption of AI or else be at risk of layoffs but this is what they've been doing instead of vibe-coding apps.

Waymos, especially on the highway, still get A TON of attention in the Bay Area. When I turn to look at the cars next to mine it’s not uncommon to see an entire family with their phones out looking back.

Imagine if you showed this post to someone 10 years ago…

interesting that the only word we get from the actual developers of theses games are executive producers and CEOs

In S2E3 of Netflix's One Piece I heard about 5 seconds of the "Whisky Peak Saloon" song and was like oh dip that sounds like Leo P on the sax — and after looking it up it is!

Imagine how insufferable all the vibecoded apps would look like if they were introduced when Dribbble was at its peak

From our awards show three months ago. Congrats to Xbox!

I'm no pundit so this is kind of a shot in the dark — but this shutdown reminds me of Xbox shutting down Tango Gameworks and the common thread between the two is that the teams were "between games" when they were shut down. I think these shutdowns might be more about bad timing :/

this sequence in the U.S. women’s curling match was pure cinema
