HomePod: Soda Pop, Golden, Takedown…
Me: 🫠

@tomkrikorian.com How did you pull off that hover effect on your icon? Is there a means of providing a separate image for the hover state?

My annual ritual on this day has become to recommend watching Come From Away. In a season when we’re drifting apart, it shows what can happen when we come together.

Watch the musical Come From Away, directed by Christopher Ashley starring Petrina Bromley, Jenn Colella, and De'Lon Grant. Streaming on Apple TV+.

Was on the fence about upgrading my phone this year or next, but then they made a Pro in my favorite color… I may not be able to wait 🫠💸

All those fancy new camera phones and they didn’t even mention spatial photos or videos 😣

The default hover state on #AppleVisionPro is problematic — especially when it comes to images. Because directing your focus overexposes the content, a user is never able to see its correct color except when in their peripheral vision. It ruins a lot of carefully color-managed imagery out there.

It is awfully maddening to have to wait 24 hours for any launch day data from App Store Connect.

Made a slick little landing page for the app. Fun to dip into web design/dev every once in a while…

As of last night my first iPhone app is approved and live on the App Store for pre-order. Greetings From Space introduces spatial messaging with a library of 3D reactions for Messages. They’re like GIFs, emojis, or stickers, but in augmented reality.

After committing to a launch day, and then finding a late-breaking, show-stopping bug, I thought I would have to launch my augmented reality app WITHOUT its visionOS build.
But I’m happy to report, I found a fix, and it will ship on time.

Hologlyph. Holo, from hologram. And glyph as in a symbol that carries meaning.
So a hologlyph is a little digital 3D gesture that appears as though in your physical space.
In a few days when the app launches, you’ll be able to send hologlyphs right from your iPhone!

A thing I’ve been building has been hard to talk about because it’s kind of new. So I had to name it. I named a thing. Pretentious — I know.

#Hologlyph is the word that best captured its essence. Outside of any prior niche uses of that word, what sort of a thing does a hologlyph sound like to you?

Don’t cry over spilled milk
is more a reminder for the parents than a lesson for the kids. Missing from the mantra is how MUCH spilling there will be, and who will be cleaning up.

Warning you now that there’s a distinct possibility this app will launch with a very non-flat icon…

I started college as an animation major. I didn’t graduate as one. But here I am years later, animating faces for AR—life has a way of looping back.

What I wish I’d known as a Blender noob:
Tap M to merge one vertex with another. The hours I wasted! I lived embarrassingly long without this knowledge.

I’m completely swallowed up by the retro-futurism of the Fantastic Four soundtrack. Feels like I’m walking through mid-century Tomorrowland.
