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 · 23/09/2026I wish uber had an option to request cars where drivers don't configure the EV for one pedal driving. This is a recipe for motion sickness. 010
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 · 05/09/2026I can't believe that letting your cat walk across your keyboard and input new "internet codes" is enough to turn you into a super hero. 100
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 04/09/2026Strong disagree. At least when compared to gui that exist today. They are all pretty terrible especially for working with files... but I do think that most computer users don't "work with files" anymore. So maybe if I was able to do that I might feel differently. 000

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 24/08/2026But he had a third headlight... that turned with the shearing wheel. This is more than many saints accomplished in their lifetimes. All he needed was a glass dome and fins on the car and he could have been a deity. 100
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 24/08/2026Man I remember seeing this in theatres and really liking it. I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that knows what a Tucker car is, sometimes. I should watch this again. Have only seen it the one time. 100

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 13/08/2026My great grandmother, born in 1905 in Germany went from no radio or cars or planes to seeing humans land on the moon and cell phones (she passed in the 90s). I didn't think I'd live through as much change, but looking back on the last 45 years, our childhood tech is so primitive to today's. 000
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 30/07/2026What kinds of stuff do you build for those cpus? I'm not familiar with them. I've only done NES dev on the 6502, which lets me scratch the nostalgia itch with my creations. 120
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 30/07/20266502 is the only time I ever enjoyed writing assembly. It's fun, and feels good in the brain. I feel seen by this post. I'm in my 40s tho. But I learned it in my 30s so I guess that's good right? 1111
Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 28/07/2026It's funny. Several of my offline friends have commented that more than anyone else they know, I type like I talk. My personality comes through in text form. And I think that just comes up from being constantly online since the early 90s and learning to communicate this way as a 10 year old. 010

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. Now is as good a time as any to bring it back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_...en.wikipedia.orgSwatch Internet Time - Wikipedia 000

Spike Grobstein @spike.cx · 27/05/2026PSA: you should have some method to allow strangers to contact you online if they google you. I found someone's wallet this morning and they didn't allow strangers to contact them on instagram and linkedin requires that you pay $40 to send messages to people you're not connected to. 120
