Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 02/10/2026People are so obsessed with the end result that they don't value the journey to get there. All of the fun and joy of creativity is the act of building the thing, learning and improving your skills. 030

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 17/09/2026here's my hot take: the unified search/url bar in browsers was a mistake. several times a day, I accidentally 'search' rather than go to a URL because the bar decides to clear the URL autocomplete right before I press return. or it treats a hostname I type as a search term. or vice versa! 000
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 09/09/2026I've wanted a foldable iPhone since before foldable phones were a thing. I think I came up with the want in like 2014. Excited that it's out but curious about the crease. We'll see. 000

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 01/07/2026I miss Swatch Internet Time. It was such a cool concept. I had a little widget in my menubar on my mac and we used it in some of the old Hotline servers to sync up. It was great.

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 28/03/2026Just downgraded my Netflix plan to the base ad-free plan. It's not worth paying like $28/mo for only slightly better quality. It's almost not worth $20/mo for the low-effort content they have. 000

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 19/10/2025One of my favorite games of all time. It combined everything I liked about prince of Persia with just amazingly weird character design and minimalist story, all the while pushing the limits of what the ps2 could do, technically. So good. 010
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 01/10/2025I tried to make fingerling potatoes on the grill. Found a recipe online that said to do the foil pouch thing. Oil, salt, pepper, garlic, stick on grill for 20 minutes. 40 minutes later and they're barely cooked but nice and crispy on the bottom. Total failure. Had to throw them out. 000
