Not so much a hot take as an ‘observation of the blindingly obvious’ but an AI company concerned about the trustworthiness of its models’ output perhaps should have rethought naming its latest release ‘Fable’. Just sayin

Goodbye is too hard a word dad, so I’ll just say fare-thee-well . (Thinking about you dad when that Dillon song you played came on just now. Taking that as a sign of a good day ❤️)

My usual 1hr easy ride loop that I do before work is neither an hour nor easy when the team is -2°C. It’s April FFS. <grumpgrumpgrump> #cycling

today’s race to prove the least reliable (between Amtrak and MBTA commuter rail) is being resoundingly won by Amtrak. This is not a compliment.

Went to the Country Music Hall of Fame last week & blown away by the Muscle Shoals exhibit. Then a tour of Hatch Show print shop & they had the exhibit poster. Shoulda bought it when I was there, but they have it online so I fixed it ❤️ (photo is from exhibit) shop.hatchshowprint.com/products/mus...

The work is important. Doing good work is important. But I’m learning that the work rarely, if ever, speaks for itself. I am still learning how much I have to speak for the work in order for its value to be recognized. #TechCoMusings

When AI can generate good-looking work instantly, “good” can’t carry the weight it used to. Change the conversation to reflect what design has always been at its best: goals-aligned, research-informed, constraints-aware, and outcomes-focused. @pseudoroom.bsky.social shares how.

A little rough but migrated kitreviews.cc over to @11ty.dev paving the way for shutting down my virtual server. First time since maybe 1997 or 98 that I haven’t had a server to run CMS sites on. No more custom CMS, no more Drupal, not even this last Wordpress experiment. Weird.

There are a lot of way more important things to deal with in the world right now, but after a very long journey we shipped an update that completes the shift over to our brand font across all of Chewy.com (and we were able to do it via one theme file, loaded from a central cdn). Feels pretty great

Why are mobile browsers so intent on capturing ‘hover’?! It’s just dumb, and breaks things for everyone, making you have to tap twice. Seems bad for everyone. (I know you can put it in a pointer media query, but conceptually it’s just dumb)

You know what coffee shop? I don’t want to be nagged about whether or not I liked my experience of buying a coffee via email literally every time I buy a coffee. Or maybe just ‘never’. Your barista will know because I tip them for their lovely attention to their craft.
