I do human-computer interaction, mainly, and play music for fun. Well, and a lot of other stuff. But HCI is useful as a way to find me.

Good to see but astonishing it's taken so long: a full industry went straight from Google AdWords, keyword metadata etc., into GenAI manipulation. Using CoPilot for just about anything is a great example of how to see which brands dashed into it.

Hey! I wrote an iOS app for singers, musicians, choreographers, and dancers! It's called SongJump, and it lets you loop just specific parts of a song. It also lets you slow down or speed up songs to make it easier to practice. apps.apple.com/us/app/songj... Tell a friend who'd find it useful!

To commemorate my induction into the CHI Academy, my grad-school bestie @jofish.bsky.social made me a Barbie of myself, replete with a robot trashbarrel sidekick, a smartphone with a robot on it, and a laptop that features my ACM DL page.

Canadian Universities: In light of all the foreign PhD students studying in the US and getting picked up and detained by ICE for no apparent reason… we need to offer some kind of PhD Completion Asylum program here in 🇨🇦. Think of all the students terrified that ICE is coming for them…

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

I like to make marmalade. My sister hates marmalade. Sometimes I forget this and send her some anyway. So on the most recent package I sent her (which did not actually contain any marmalade) I made it clear how lucky she was to get so much marmalade. Good job, ChatGPT.

Two really good bits of media I’m enjoying right now. Both are smartly written and well paced. The Pitt on Max (fka HBO) is great medical drama, exciting, compelling watching. Natasha Pulley’s The Mars House (book!) is exciting, feels like it’s written by a smart friend. Great read.

things that I really don't need: an email from my financial institution telling me that in some number of days, my 1099 tax form will be available on their website. yes, i know. you are legally mandated to have it by the 31st. this is not news. just shut up and tell me when it's available.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

I’m fascinated by how Apple Intelligence is so enthusiastically getting it wrong. Like… there’s no mention of $100 in the email; it just hallucinates that. I suppose it’s better than telling me my priority message is the obviously bitcoin scam….

Today I deleted all my tweets, dating back to 2006. In the course of that I see all my old content float by. And I'm allowing myself a bit of wistfulness at that world that was lost, and the value of a suitably policed, publicly visible, community discussion forum. Here's to the future.

I have a swim towel we bought to support the next door neighbor's swim team when I was 7. For the last three years I've been taking it swimming 2-3 times a week, and it's in remarkable shape. It makes me very happy....
