My stripes? White.

Happy 'Slack is down' day to those who celebrate.

👋 from the Swift team, now on Bluesky!

No gods or kings. Only man.

The home button is done for, long live the home button. The new iPhone 16e looks to be a great addition and the best choice for most people interested in a newer phone. www.apple.com/iphone-16e/

I know this effect has been done before, but this is my first attempt and I feel really great about it. Apple TV style card hover.

I need an LLM to pick which LLM I should use. OpenAI. Please.

8th Field Notes journal started. #joshuatree #fieldnotes

It’s the weekend, let’s party!

Hard pass.

Having ourselves a time in Portland, ME. Bring on the snow!

open! network! users don't have to rebuild their following all over again each time they switch to a different app, so platforms can't lock them in developers can bootstrap new social apps off an existing social graph of 27M+ people win-win 🤝

On this day 105 years ago, we lost 21 innocent Bostonians in the North End from a 25 foot wave of molasses traveling at 35 mph. One of the strangest incidents that could have been avoided with proper regulation and safety checks. We honor them today. #northend #boston #molassesflood #onthisday

It's better to think of your dogs as servers at a restaurant when they are coming up to you at the dinner table: "How's everything tasting so far? Can I get anything from you?"

I have a feeling that 2025 will show a LOT more green. Happy new year! #iosdev #buildinpublic

I miss living in Boston. This was my scenic route from my apartment to work along the waterfront.

I would love if there was a change to Apple News navigation to swap Audio or Sports with Puzzles. I find those to be so good for a downtime distraction.

Absolutely not a shocker here. My Apple Music Replay 24’ roll up. Justice, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar and so on. Great year of releases. #AppleMusic #Replay24

Class act, the (Blue)sky is the limit. @bsky.app @jay.bsky.team

In honor of #kendricklamar #gnx, the thoughts about the legend itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIPU...

Suddenly deep into some trip-hop once again. Mood feels right. Elysium from Portishead is bumping on the HomePods. music.apple.com/us/album/ely...

@joannastern.bsky.social excited you’re here. Welcome!

This album cover still hits different. Also this show was dope.

What's your #escape? Something that helps you unwind, reframe, reset or decompress. Tangible or not. I'll go first.

Not the first one to do this, but it feels good. Seems right.

During the pandemic, I went on solo walks around Cambridge. One of the habits I picked up was listening to Time to Walk that I was able to get through my Apple Watch. Finding out that they just turned it into a podcast? Now that was the right way to do it all along. #applefitness

Neat. #northernlights

Quite the croissant (pastry and now app). Really like the one-way direction of it. Check it out! https://apps.apple.com/app/id6670288979

A couple of weeks back, we had Cars & Coffee down in Newport, RI. A great opportunity to see what vehicles people have tucked in their garages. Vehicles like this stunning Porsche GT3. Yes, the new one. #car #porsche #carsandcoffee

Boston’s Public Garden, the Lagoon and swan boats. Captured in April 2023 on a Nikon Z 5.

Today marks the anniversary of the first web page published on the internet, the first “hello world” (literally). Happy birthday to the W3C and my continual job security. www.w3.org/History/1992...

Growing up, I rarely heard music by the Beatles, except for some of their most known music. (my parents had other tastes) When their catalog became available for purchase on iTunes, I spent a lot of time discovering the eras. Quite possibly, their last song was just released. Incredible story.
