designer + developer. all around  nerd. early adopter.
I am saving SO much time and having so much fun with Perplexity.ai. I just drop my random questions/thoughts in and hit research and then come back later when it is done and read a whole data dump on everything I'd ever want to know.

Since Arc seems to be being abandoned, I have been trying to find a new browser like everyone else... I switched back to Safari last week and it's actually been really nice. My battery life has never been better.

Just got asked if my Google Pixel Fold was a new iPhone. People want a foldable iPhone so bad. Always having an iPad mini sized screen in your pocket is so nice.

damn this feels like the good ole days of Casey vlogs. just incredible storytelling. no ads, just vibes. I didn't know that I needed a lunch hotline.

Searching, learning or drafting in 2025 is unreal.

Need to get to something on a site you know? Google it.

Need to fact check or learn about something new? Use Perplexity.

Writing something? Drafting in Gemini 2.5 Pro + a canvas is unmatched.

Google Meet > Zoom

and transcriptions + summaries with Gemini that show up as Google Docs after the call? So so so nice.

My experience having an EV and exclusively charging at public fast chargers as I don't have a way of charging at home.

And I do so completely FREE since Ioniq 5's come with 2 years of free charging at all Electrify America stations. I go out of my way to charge there every time.

coming off of four years at a larger creative agency, I'm now back to full-time freelancing. I forgot how insanely good it feels to work for yourself.

I do enjoy good fancy coffee...but a donut shop k-cup hits so hard first thing in the morning ☕️

getting older is knowing that if it is not on my calendar then it is not in my brain and I will 100% forget to be somewhere

whenever I need to lock-in to get something done, nothing hits like the TRON, Interstellar or Social Network soundtracks on loop 🙂‍↕️

Last month, I waited for about an hour to vote for Monroe Nichols for mayor, while standing in line next to the other candidate he was running against. It was such an odd experience to vote against someone while they were literally right beside you.

black friday does not hit like it used to. I feel like all of the sales have been happening for weeks already and even then, so many things were never actually sold for their "full price."

happy thanksgiving to those who observe 🦃

Take some time on this Thanksgiving day to make sure your family is using the official ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude AI apps. I swear half my family was using these weekly subscription scam apps. ✨

I wish one of these text-first social apps would hurry up and have the majority of users already so picking where to be would be easier

I tried using Safari again over that last few weeks just to see if anything was worth switching back for as of the latest macOS betas. So far, Safari is so great at normie web consumption...anything more technical or development related and it crumples so fast.

it’s the monday before thanksgiving and there were only 8 people in the security line at TUL. I love this lil airport.

if carrot weather were /just/ a cleverly written and designed weather app with so so weather data it would still be the only weather app I'd use #wx

having #F1 be in Vegas is cool and all, but keeping myself awake to watch in the middle of the night is SO much harder than waking up early to watch when it is anywhere in Europe

of all the streaming subscriptions I’ve got, YouTube Premium is the one I use the most and it’s not close

just to be clear, I was unfortunately walking to that minivan, not the porsche
