sent a Docusign. they messed up their SSL certificate and no one can access the link. imagine running an app that does almost nothing, raking in that much revenue, and not having a functional website.

I use squarespace for catacombian.com. Blog, marketing pages, mailing list, simple e-commerce. Didn't feel worth the time to build this myself. But it feels like I could vibe code this in an afternoon now, right?

So for now, Switch 2 is basically a $500 Mariokart machine?? I really want one, but I think I need more new games first.

The thing that's so fun about the Beatles is how you can keep changing favorites as you age. 6-8: Ringo is funny 9-15: Paul writes perfect pop 16-23: John is the moody edgelord 24-30: Wait, PAUL is the weird one?? 31-34: Ok wait John is an actual lyrical genius 35+: Why does George make me cry now?

There's a whole category of SaaS apps that work great when the data is correct, comprehensive, and up to date. But they are useless when the data is wrong, partial, or stale.

I've become so cynical, it's hard for me to believe that there are still candidates worth supporting. But @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has my full support. Seeing the crowd's glowing reaction to a mere mention of his name yesterday made me feel hopeful.

Marched in NYC. Really moving to be in a huge crowd chanting against ICE. Favorite new phrase is, “no one is illegal on stolen land.”

We've been lucky to have Erin working with a couple of our clients. She gave us feedback on our process, and brainstormed how we position our product management work to new clients. I love this episode. podcast.thunk.dev/episodes/66-...

Been joking for years that unhealthy food is my last vice, and I'm waiting for the doctors to tell me to change my ways. Just got some blood work done, and unfortunately the day has arrived 😭😅

I recorded the Larabelles Podcast trailer/intro 👀. Let me know what you think! I’m going with my gut on this, I’m a bit nervous about the direction I want to take it, but as always, I’m doing it anyway 😅. larabelles.com/podcast

the prototype of our newest game just arrived. If you're around NYC, or I'm going to see you this year, I'd love to test it with you! It's so fun.

quick poll. have you ever put a "tip jar" on a website, and had someone actually tip you?

We're in that insane part of the innovation curve where it takes just a few months to go from, "omg Cursor can read all my code and understand context," to, "pshh, Cursor doesn't have an Agent Mode. It's already obsolete."

I would watch a feature length documentary about the Y2K scare, a deep technical explanation of the risks, and the monumental effort that went into making sure things didn't break. A story about tech, pop culture, and politics that has a happy ending.

I’m so amused by the Now You See Me franchise. So they’re like… actual wizards??
