A website is an act of demanding space for yourself and the people you love and constantly tending that space. It's a way of naming: to take on a URL and courageously ask to be witnessed, visited. I understand certain sites that I frequent as continuous labors of love, whether they're directed to a specific person or something broader. I see making websites and making in general as nothing more than a way of asking to be loved.

It won’t replace your default browser, but it might make you want to.

Arc’s mobile browser is here — and it’s not really a web browser at all

It’s just me wearing a Marinos jacket and Flugels jersey.

I’m in Japan for a couple weeks, and going to a bunch of J.League games. 

I thought it’d be fun to journal about it — the experience of going to the games, more than the actual games themselves — so I’m doing that over on Mastodon, here: https://thefooty.club/@soccersakura

Took pictures of my mechanical keyboard for no particular reason, so now you have to see one.

I wrote this thing for a zine that never happened, then sat on it for two years, and anyway:

Who wants to spend their Saturday morning reading about AR/VR HCI design?

I actually, factually, for real, finished my Config slides today.

I cannot tell you the relief I feel.

Interviewer: So, where do you see yourself in ~5 years?

Me: Hmm.. Let's see. The year is 2028. The climate crisis has accelerated. Large portions of the US are uninhabitable. Citizens are allotted two hours of "outside time" due to extreme heat— 

Interviewer: .....

Neck pillows! That’s what I forgot. SFO → Osaka today.

I wanna start a mega thread of all the rad, trans, non-binary and gender-non-conforming folks here. Roll call in the comments so we can follow one another 🏳️‍⚧️📣🏳️‍⚧️

If you’re an ally, give us a boost! 🙏

Just got out of seeing Paris, Texas at the Roxie. I love that film — it’s in my top 10! — but it’s been years since I last saw it.

Somehow I never realized how differently the one-way mirror scenes would play in an actual theater.

Welcome to #Config2023! Nobody talk to me until after my talk and then everybody talk to me.

Arc’s mobile app is very pretty, it’s just the exact opposite of what I wanted. 

I mean that literally! I’d rather my desktop browser be the “companion app,” and the mobile one be full-fledged. https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/30/23662130/arc-mobile-browser-hands-on-ios

Design critique isn’t just about software. It’s the meeting where u critique the personalities, appearances, and personal life choices of your colleagues. Can be anything even something they did or said years ago

I haven’t posted about it on here, but y’all should come to my talk.

It’s called “THE DYING DAYS OF DELIGHTFUL SOFTWARE” and it is, uh, a weird one.

Back in SF, having a nightcap and picking away at the screenplay — with Ennio Morricone’s music on repeat in my head.

Weird question: anybody in SF have one of these — any color — and want to let me borrow it for a day? (Uh, specifically, tomorrow?)

I know what you’re thinking. “How’d you get your hair looking so good underwater?!” 

But here’s the thing: it’s a new cut.

My #Confit theme for day two: a Yokohama football fan, circa 1999, just after the merger of Flugels and Marinos. (If you see me say hi!) #Config2023
