Facebook surfaced the most wholesome video I've ever created. An everyday ride-along experience with my now three year old, a year ago at age two. Can't wait for the little one to start talking soon too!

OH GOD. #MacOS27 BREAKS #WACOM TABLET AND PEN INPUT. You can no longer click and drag anything with the pen. DEVASTATING. @wacom please tell me something is coming, and I don't need to completely wipe and reformat my computer back to Mac OS26 today?!

The Science Centre’s roof has survived heavy winter snow storms and now a violent rain and hail storm. This roof continues to have more integrity than the Ford government. A team of us are working on ways to reopen this architectural masterpiece to the public again.
After the storm: September 2nd, 7:44 pm. #Toronto #Ontario #Canada #onpoli #topoli

Got my hands on this hull recently. Still chasing after a second one of chrome exhaust pipes! 😎🥳👍🏼
4002 Riptide Racer from 1996 blasted its way across bathtubs, wide sinks - even irretrievable places like white water rivers! It was all in the name of fun - and fun this set was, with its sleek hull, gorgeous chrome exhausts, and Team Octan racer! #LEGO #LEGOFan #AdultFanOfLEGO

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Reminds me of the time I had a job interview as a nascent fledgling mobile UI designer. Interviewer asked me if I used the Teehan & Lax GUI kits. I said some misguided version of "I prefer to hand-craft artisanal bespoke UIs" & they said "WHY WOULD I PAY YOU TO DO THAT?!" 🤣🥳
Working on an article for Monday. It's very long. In an effort to make long form content more interesting than just a wall of text, I'm building interactive elements inside the articles. Here's a quick look at one of them.

I could easily fill an hr talking about how Apple Keynote is superior to PowerPoint. But one of the most dramatic ways for me is how they handle "Undo". Keynote is INCREDIBLY forgiving. The freedom to experiment & make mistakes is critical to my achieving a creative flow-state.

I still can’t believe we let ourselves get so scientifically illiterate that “non GMO” is splattered all over our food packaging as a selling point. youtu.be/8nSDMNppWzs?si=Vymy…

So, watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids with my 7 & 9 year olds. They loved it! I just couldn’t help but immediately identify Wayne Szelenski as just high-potential eccentric undiagnosed ADHD?!

Modern multi-modal, multi-devices authentication security protocols are an ADHD nightmare. Literally been asked to log back in on 4 different devices in the last 20 mins while trying to complete timesheets. How did we build this world for ourselves?! I need to go outside.

My kids iPad committed swollen batterycide. So she’s been using my M1 iPad Pro. Last night, Apple’s aggressive OS upgrade dark pattern defeated her 7 year old defences, and now my iPad has been ruined by iOS 26. Laggy, frame-rate dropping, over-designed MESS. R.I.P. iPadOS18

Industrial Design in the modern, global, free drop-shipping fr China, IKEA flat-packed world, is less about designing artifacts, as it is about designing process by which artifacts can be broken down & compressed into as little space as possible. The REAL WORLD is compressed.

This is one of MANY ways I've observed the Digital & Physical realities converging into a single, seamless existence. The WORLD as we experience it, is increasingly populated with video-game sprite-esque, exact replica objects. It's a clone stamped, uncanny valley-ass world.

I believe his is why I adore Brutalism as an architectural style. As monolithic & imposing some Brutes can be, they are HONEST. There's no facade. Just REAL. When I gaze upon any new build edifice, my uncanny valley unease is triggered. It feels like I'm in a simulation!
