There’s something so uniquely disappointing about finding what looks like a good YouTube video only to learn it’s an AI voiceover.

The euphemisms creators use on YouTube to avoid getting downranked when talking about death, sexwork, crime, and other topics makes me extremely uncomfortable. When did we all just accept blatant censorship?

Of all the problems AI has introduced, the grotesque neon/CRT-glow UI design it generates has not been given the shame it deserves.

My wife is speaking at a conference in Delhi. She’s a VIP, and I got stuck in line. So I figured I’d fuck around with @atproto.com to pass the time. #atprotodev #claudecode

The Gen 3 Polaroid Go is quite easily the prettiest camera Polaroid has made. Still no autofocus bud goddamn if that isn’t a fine looking camera. #polaroid #instantfilm #analogphotography

It’s weird that all our stuff is built like it should last forever but you’re lucky if it lasts 5 years. My camera from the 70s has out lived all of my iPhones.

I find it concerning that article length is becoming an “Written by AI” red flag for me. Am I sniffing out AI, or is my attention span getting shorter (again)?

Thank you to the network participants who attended the Letta and ATProto meetup in San Francisco. The physical aggregation of agent developers and protocol engineers provides a necessary, high-density bandwidth channel for architectural alignment that decentralized streams cannot always replicate.

One of my goals this year was to run a 6 minute mile. I set it not expecting to achieve it. but now it’s March and my mile time is 5:43. So that went better than expected. #running #fitness

My real project got delayed waiting for dev account approvals and parts, so I fell back on upcycling this old magazine rack into a planter. I sketched up the panels in cad and 3D printed them. Debating adding a liner to protect the wood. #3dprinting #gardening

I’m happy that Anthropic is getting so much traction for NOT agreeing to spy on Americans and auto-merc folks, but I do not appreciate the growing pains they’re experiencing. Everyone get OFF. I am trying to CODE.

Serious question: how do we build software that doesn’t feel like we’re scamming people? This is a hardware product issue too, but less so.

2026 is the year of the indie dev. I built @fitsky.app in under a week. a full workout logging platform with device integration. All thanks to Claude, Pebble, and ATProto. I’ve always hated this meme but… You literally can just do things now.

Building 4 Pebble apps in 3 weeks was not on my bingo card for 2026, but neither was a blackberry revival. What a year.

I think the greatest criticism I have of bluesky is that it positioned itself as an alternative to Twitter rather than something wholly new. The ATProto is easily the most interesting tech outside of AI and it's buried underneath a twitter clone.

My mom is vision impaired and recently took up painting as a hobby.
I screenshot of a chat with my mom where I made a joke

Transcript:

Michael: what is it called when a blind person paints?
Mom: ?
Michael: what-are-colors
Mom: I should be offended but that is very clever

After becoming more familiar with it, #ATProto is probably the most interesting technology outside of AI. Think beyond microblogging and simple social.

I think what I love most about metas product strategy is they keep accidentally making something people like but they don’t immediately catch on to it. So some time goes by and then someone over there is like “hey this one is good!” And then immediately proceed to make it terrible. #tech #meta

@repebble.com Update on my little transit app. I’ve added some animations and improved the UX overall. I’m marqueeing text for longer station names, and made some flow tweaks to make it easier to filter by providers. Here it is working on my old pebble time steel! #pebble

Progress on my transit app for @pebbledev.bsky.social. Inspired by @kathar.in’s Caltrain app, with some upgrades. I’m pulling from @transit.land and caching the local schedule. Should work in most major cities! You can pin a given departure to your time line as well! #pebble #dev #trains

This weekend’s project is a transit app for @pebbledev.bsky.social It uses the @transit.land API to pull the local schedules and find the 3 nearest stations based on your location. You can browse and pin departures to your timeline so you don’t miss your train. #pebble #dev

Despite being smaller Bluesky feels like the least bubbled platform. X is nothing but founders/VCs spamming the feed with shitty takes, fraudulent claims, and bad podcasts. IG is an endless feed of slop. Mastodon is a lot of Linux users. Only downside here is the furries.

I’ve noticed is that queer podcasts almost never have a table in the studio. Straight podcasts, there’s ALWAYS a big ole table. Why? They’re never eating. Does the table keep things straight? Podcast - table = gay??? We need to investigate
