I've switched to a pair with a smaller FOV but that is much lighter and that's my go-to way of using a laptop or phone in the car or in bed. I can use them for hours now. It is a little awkward with reading glasses but very doable and saves the neck completely.

Note that Markdeep doesn't *use* AI at runtime or capture user data. The new AI support is features for the kind of markdown that Claude, GPT, and Gemini LLMs and agents produce and supports Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code IDEs. Markdeep + LLMs is a great match that just got even better.

This launches a month of new features to ring in the new year and the next decade of Markdeep. Today's 1.18 release is only the beginning.

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo. In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨ With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

This and lightweight XR glasses have been an OK partial solution for me. Neither is perfect--if you don't wear corrective lenses (or at least if you have contacts) they might be much better. I'm still looking for a good solution. Projector was my first attempt and it had different drawbacks.

A key catch is that these slightly minify objects (or maybe you hold them further away). They're good for large crafts and OK for reading and laptop but I needed a larger font. Weight on the nose after about 30 min is an issue if upright. I wasn't brave enough to try it for cooking or other cutting.

Because of my spinal injury, I was thinking that I wish I could have upside down belaying glasses so that I can hold a book or phone comfortably again and...this product exists, and is really inexpensive! They're called "lazy glasses" or "crochet glasses". Now to find out how well it works for me.

I put a massive number of changes in today's release of the new version of the #quadplay retro fantasy video game console. Available now at: morgan3d.github.io/quadplay/ The main focus of these changes was mobile: new aspect ratios, new battery saving optimizations, new exported game UI options.

Monospace for code vs. the surrounding proportional fonts is exactly the use case I care about as well. I'll investigate putting this in the default Markdeep stylesheet, which will also make it easier to override a single font without having to restyle everything.

The business goal is to become 10% of the world wide gaming market, so I know it's close to everyone's heart. The labels on any given thing definitely change a lot to hit the broadest set of users and programs. I'm personally happy just calling everything interactive a "game" everywhere.

Indeed, something like that! We'll see if the wind and waves favor my actually arriving in Vancouver during SIGGRAPH week. The odds are currently about 20%. I've been eyeing both English Bay/False Creek and several local marinas as places to set up shop. But the weather may not cooperate.

I use many operating systems. My gaming is primarily on Windows 11 and SteamDeck these days, although I run Roblox on macOS. Programming is a mix of Win, Mac, and various Linux distros.

I retired 5 years ago at age 67. I feel that is when my “real career” began. I have never been more engaged, productive, and fulfilled. It was incredibly liberating to decide I could switch to working for no salary: no boss to argue with and working purely on topics that inspire me. It is magical.

It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers. Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute. If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

I'm used to having these islands to myself in the winter. Warm weather brings company. Ten other boats are squeezing into this cove. It is affirming to see everyone politely helping others to anchor safely and securely, lending a hand, gear, or advice. The cruising community is great.

It was quite peaceful at this anchorage (and charming, including a tiny working commercial fishing dock). However, the names on the chart of Skull Rock, Massacre Bay, and Victim Island reflect tragically violent histories of tribal warfare among the Salish peoples in the area ~150 years ago.
