Went out to get a photo of a raccoon in the tree, but of course it moved out of sight by the time I had my camera. But then I got this maple and clouds instead. Not a bad deal. image #photography #naturestr #outdoorstr

😂🍎 I just updated to iOS 18 (released a couple hours ago), then went to rate an app on the App Store. I tapped the rating, saw a message that said “You can’t rate an app on a beta version of iOS”, tapped “OK”, then saw a message that said “Thanks for your rating!”

I recently read Digital Minimalism and cut back _heavily_ for 30 days on all optional technology, like social media, fitness and health tracking, streaming movies and TV, podcasts, video games, notifications, and even just looking things up in Safari. It was tough, but I got lots of things done, like reading a nonfiction book for the first time in years, trimming the trees in my yard, playing tabletop games with the kids, focusing on in-person relationships and making phone calls to friends, spending time in solitude, and taking walks _without_ headphones. I felt _great_. I’d recommend it. View quoted note →

I’ve been reading Unreasonable Hospitality and absolutely loving it. It’s changed the way I think and inspired me to be more generous with my family, friends, coworkers, and other people I interact with. Just check this out, from “About this book": "Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation." I’m blown away and inspired by how they treated the guests in their restaurant. Highly recommended. And for those who don’t have time to read (like me!) but do have time for podcasts, try the audiobook!

This sounds like a great idea, at least in theory. Any concerns or issues with this approach? I guess the question is: what are the downsides? ps how did you manage to be faster than @fiatjaf? View quoted note →

Today I learned about @NOICE which is just perfect! Loving the photos featured in this note — especially the lighting in the one with all the people: View quoted note →

Bunnies! Saw these on a walk through the neighborhood just hanging out in someone’s front yard. image #photography #wildlife #animals #rabbits

This talk by @rabble from Nostriga was great not only for the history of Nostr (and where it is today and where it’s going) but also for how to think about each social media platform and how they compare to Nostr. If you care about Nostr, I highly recommend it.

On re-reading this, I realize I probably should have said “Come work with an awesome team that I’m lucky to be part of!” That sounds a little less self-centered, I think. Either way, join us, fellow iOS dev! View quoted note →
