Tech workers, in SF specifically, are some of the most brainwashed, socially inept people around. They literally voted AGAINST a CEO tax. WAKE UP YOU DORKS. Notice most of the votes against came from the richest areas, not just in the country but in the world.

This week, I tied the knot with my partner of 7 years Shazia on Maui! She’s taught me so much about myself and supported me through some of the toughest times in my life. I’m so glad we picked each other.

Shazia and Michael standing on Palauea beach facing and smiling at the camera holding each other. The beach and then the ocean in the background. Shazia is holding her bridal bouquet 💐

Michael and Shazia standing in the middle of the frame on the beach with the water to their left and the shore to the right. They’re facing away from the camera and looking at each other. Michael is in his forest green suit and Shazia in her white wedding dress with her vail and train flowing behind her onto the sand.

I miss PureVolume. Found so many amazing bands on there through 2005 - 2010 or so. Case and point.

I'm obsessed with SpacetimeDB. They just announced 2.0 and the updates are wild. Not only have they added support for Unity, but web SDKs as well! The number of transactions they can handle per second MIND BLOWING. spacetimedb.com?referral=mic...

Solid. We should all be protesting in the streets. What’s it gonna take? How many more innocent people have to have their life ruined or ended before ICE is dismantled?

Would love to see a feature like this in Overtone by @schickling.dev.

It doesn’t hit every time. But this new mix feature in Spotify is pretty cool.

@lgug2z.com yo yo just updated to 0.1.37 and I accidentally over wrote my config. Now monitor-info is giving me a panic. Any ideas?

Lastly, the new browser start page. (name pending) I've been making progress on the #localfirst widgets that will be available by default. Notes, Todos, News, Stocks, Twitch, Locket, and Music. Building these is really fun, but I need to spend time on the p2p pieces and the DSL.

Screenshot of a portion of a webpage showing 3 different widgets displayed here as 3 boxes. Each widget serves a different purpose. The top left is a website pingbot showing which websites are live and which are offline. The right box is a news widget showing 5 news headlines. The bottom box is a todo list showing different states of the 6 listed todos.

Next, ██████ link branching service. This one is big for me personally as I'm looking to make it my full-time gig. The data model has been tough, but I made some strides last night. Next step is to get the service feature complete before I build out the rest of the UI.

Screenshot of a new service I'm building. Dark black background with a custom designed form which asks the user for specific information around a link they want to share. Mainly this displays the idea of different rules you can apply to your link which then determine if the user who clicked it can view the link or is sent someplace else.

Sat atop Goat Rock near Guerneville California again this weekend. First time in about 7 years I think. View was just as incredible as I remember.

View from the perspective of Goat Rock, bottom half of the photo shows green area. Pacific ocean coast above that, then the horizon and sky above that. Part of Goat Rock shown on the far right slightly out of frame.

I'm a huge fan of these new "alerts" in @github.com. But how is there no TLDR? Who do I know that can make this happen? Oh wait... I think they all left. *Oy vey*

Screenshot of Github interface showing off two different "alerts" or blockquote styles. The top is blue with a "Note" tag at the top, followed by user text. The second is green with a "Tip" tag at the top, followed by user text.

Y'all... are 3D print designers getting TOO GOOD?! I'm just blown away by some of these prints. The "ramen noodle" pattern planter in particular turned out so good.

A 4-photo collage of different 3d print designs. From left-to-right, top-to-bottom - mobile phone camera rig, swirling lamp, medium-sized planter with what looks like a "ramen noodle" type pattern, and a magnetic phone charging stand in different colors.

This is seriously cool!! Wanted to sign up but would you be up for changing the GitHub integration permissions to read only? I’d also love to only give access to the repo I’m testing out vs all public and private repos.

This book is fantastic btw. Adapted and illustrated by Fido Nesti.

Graphic novel cover of 1984 by George Orwell with his name at the top, then the numbers 1984 written boldly in front of an illustrated “all seeing eye”. A man, facing away, with his shoulders slumped and a broken city below him.

Decided to read 1984 today on what I thought was a whim. Then I got to page 14 and noticed the date. 🤯

California DMV queue page hasn’t updated for 20 minutes. Curious to see what’s going on with this page in the inspector when I get back home.

Made it to diamond this season on #MarvelRivals! Don't think I'll make it to GM but who knows. Really pumped to see how much Torch and Thing switch up the game play.

Rad! Excited to check it out when it's done. Would love to see a "Rivian R3X" style vehicle. rivian.com/r3 😍

6 tech leaders backing someone so joyfully hateful is a betrayal of what these platforms were meant for: connecting people, sharing ideas, and building communities. I've dumped a few of them already, the others will take a bit longer. Anyone else trying to hit them where it hurts?

Why is it when I type one letter though, do I just get a random white dude?

Any other coffee folks doing the Cometeer Countdown to Christmas? Pretty excited about this one!

Top down photo of a cup of hot delicious coffee sitting on a granite counter top with the container the iced disk of frozen coffee came from, reads “Frozen Gold”.
