Ok, well today was different than most. First live TV appearance and unveiling of my new space pirate look to the world.

I just learned that orange limes exist. That feels like it must violate some international laws or something.

I completely agree with this review of the Quest Pro. I received mine on launch day, was actually cautiously excited about it, and was ultimately disappointed. It’s a definite step forward, but not enough.

Any idiot could unify this country under the current circumstances. It takes a special kind of idiot to divide us further.

This is the perfect time for me to share what I've been working on. It's a tool/app/thing for people to connect over video in meaningful ways. I hope it can help you feel a little closer to your loved ones during the holidays, too! hubbub.live/

I still like news radio because it’s perhaps the only media that doesn’t feel like it’s adding itself to my todo list. I don’t feel the need to catch every single word.

The whole "sign in with xyz" is supposed to be easier but I can never remember which service I first used, and then end up with duplicate accounts.

At #openstacksummit, overheard coraid guy say they are “kind of like @Ceph”. I remember when we had to describe @Ceph like other things.

You know what’s not cool? Opening up a brand new video game on Xmas morning, popping it into the PS4, and being told you need to download an 11GB update that will take 11 hours.

It's great that some bigger companies are now embracing remote working, but my snarky side wants to say "welcome to 5 years ago".

Mark Zuckerberg is terrified of even the rumors around Apple’s headset. Quest Pro was rushed to market in an attempt to beat them. A Quest 3 with only the color pass through and the improved optics would have been a winner… and that’s what we’ll get next year.

I have some exciting news! I've joined @nocapshows as CTO. When I met the team we realized how much we have in common, and it just made sense. We have an amazing vision for the future of live music, and now it's time to build it.

And it’s the software that’s the issue… the hardware is capable of doing things far beyond what’s actually possible with the apps and OS available today. The review covers that well.

Bad Religion was one of my first punk rock loves, and today they’re kicking off a 4 show series on @nocapshows, each one focusing on a decade of their music. Today at 2pm pacific is the 80s! nocap.show/badreligion

Can we all agree to stop saying “webinar”? It doesn’t deserve to be a word, and it’s not too late to prevent it from becoming one.

I think I figured out what’s wrong with the kids today. We told our tween/teens about Jackass and it didn’t sound funny to them at all.

We renamed Alexa to Computer and changed her accent to British, and she seems a lot smarter now.

The only problem with having an entire management team that thinks about how to do everything better is you can’t possibly do it all.

Have you seen the brand names for the Covid vaccines? Pfizer’s is Comirnaty and Moderna’s is Spikevax. I think the drug namers are used to have like 5 years to come up with a name, and this was the best they could do with only a year.

When Trump was first elected I actually felt some pity for him. I knew he didn’t want or expect to win, and the pressure of it would probably destroy him. It feels like all of that is playing out, but I don’t feel pity now.

I'm starting to avoid Medium content altogether now that I bump into their paywall so much. The content itself is just not actually good enough to justify paying for most of the time.

As I dive into Web3 I'm struck by the fact that it's more of an ideological and conceptual shift than a technological one (currently anyway)... and I think that's why a lot of tech people don't really get it.

My taxi driver gave me four choices of music: Italian, French, Pavarotti, or country. I chose French.

My 11yo daughter couldn’t sleep and started a conversation with me about what death is like. She said we can’t ever know, of course, but she thinks it’s might be like sleeping forever without dreams. Unexpected post bedtime metaphysics! 🤯

I finally watched the first two episodes of Squid Game last night. First off, yes I like it. Second, if descriptions of it had focused more on the actual themes instead of the in-your-face aspects, I would have been more interested sooner. Third, it’s visually enchanting.
