I miss this scene, and good lord I cannot get over those ticket prices.

Quoting from an anecdote on how @ErikLauer contributed analytical mindset and tools to the @wizards_magic team (all behind the link).

“One of the things I like to say is that the early part of design is more art than science, and the later part of design is more science than art.”. – a @maro254 nugget of #gamedesign wisdom.

Sometimes I imagine an internal Radar at @Apple with a million votes titled “Users complain that Esc exits full screen”, where some greybeard interaction designer stands steadfastly on top of this hill, willing to die on it, yelling that it is *The Path of Righteousness*.

Algorithms exhibiting self-love for an image generation the gf and I riffed on as a joke. I mean sure I guess that *would* have been among the most interesting things that happened this year 😂

Sad to see @FoursquareGuide app finally getting canned, though surprised the split survived this long. I hope they’ll make @SwarmApp a capable exploration tool, I’m smacking my head as we speak that Google Maps nor Apple Maps can filter restaurant results by “Open Right Now”….

Ever have those times where you think a web "app" might just be serving static pages to check a box that an online offering exists?. None of the dates are selectable, pop-up for month where none of those are selectable either 😅

It’s evident that zero Apple execs live in a high rise in a large city center….

I’m glad that Mandalorians can find their tribe at parties and all, but can HomeKit detect GPS drift when my phone and the watch I’m wearing haven’t left my home WiFi network? 🕵🏻‍♂️.

I think I just Marie Kondo’d my YouTube Watch Later, with a system of topical playlists. A useful exercise that will repay itself over time, or OCD waste of time? News at 11.

Data loss bugs are bad…. Periodic reminder that cloud storage is not a backup 😳.

The kill counter was absolutely the selling point. 📈.

Trying to coolly downplay my genuine excitement for this package delivery. The balcony shall be reclaimed as territory for the recreation of citizens of Chessia. 🦟🏸
