Winter work vibes
A computer monitor sits in front of a window covered in raindrops. Outside, the view is blurry with wet streets, parked cars, and fall-colored trees. The scene looks gray and overcast, while the monitor shows a desktop wallpaper with green foliage.

Made chicken shawarma last night and it was a hit.

Leftovers today so the flavors could mingle some more is 🔥

Seeing a cool new AT:// app but it only supports app passwords.
A two-panel meme featuring Drake from the “Hotline Bling” format. In the top panel, Drake raises his hand in disapproval next to the text “App Password.” In the bottom panel, he gestures approvingly with a satisfied expression next to the text “OAuth.”

how it started vs how it's going and whatnot
A dark-mode web page for “Deletem” promoting Bluesky account cleanup. The header reads “Clean up your Bluesky history,” with options to “Sign in with Bluesky” or “Try demo.” A blue notice below says the app supports Bluesky-hosted accounts. The “Features” section lists items like secure authentication, post and like management, smart filtering, safe testing, export and backup, and flexible deletion. A dark-themed landing page for the app “Deletem,” described as a Bluesky cleanup tool. Large headline text reads “Delete Thousands of Bluesky Posts In Minutes, Not Hours.” Below, smaller text explains features like smart filters, dry-run mode, and backups. Two buttons say “Try Demo Now” and “Sign in with Bluesky.” Icons and labels at the bottom highlight safety features: Test First, Secure OAuth, Export Backup, and Full Control.

My wife and son built this cool arm yesterday. As you can imagine the first thing my son did when he put it on was flip me off. 😅
A colorful plastic toy blaster built with modular parts, sitting on a wooden table. The toy has orange, blue, white, and red components, with visible springs, tubing, and a trigger mechanism. It appears to be a custom-built or STEM-style launcher with multiple barrels.

Okay which one of you used bing to get to deletem.app?
A list of three website entries. The first shows a blue butterfly icon with the text “bsky.social,” the second has a magnifying glass icon with “bing.com,” and the third has an @ symbol on a black background with “blueskydirectory.com.”

me, an idiot:
Surely the icon composer app made by Apple will easily integrate with Xcode to make importing your newly created icons easier!

I miss LED indicators on phones

It begins. 🎄🍪
A batch of snickerdoodle cookies. Some are stored in a foil-lined container on a counter, while others are packed in a labeled Ziploc freezer bag that reads “GF Snickerdoodles 10/23/25.” The cookies are round, golden brown, and dusted with cinnamon sugar. A black Sharpie marker is visible in the background.

A social profile page titled “Me.” The banner shows a tall white building with a dark blue sky and part of another high-rise, along with pixel art on a wall in the foreground. The profile picture is of a man with short hair, a beard, and sunglasses, smiling outdoors. The display name is “brian 🎃” and the handle is “@bripie.me.” A small blue butterfly icon is in the lower right corner.

Something that’s surprised me in the minimal amount of analytics that deletem.app collects is that desktop is above mobile usage. I thought for sure mobile would blow it out of the water. 🤔

Admittedly not a huge sample size so far but data none the less!
A simple analytics chart showing visitor devices. Desktop accounts for 57 percent of visitors, while mobile accounts for 43 percent. Tabs at the top allow switching between “Devices” and “Browsers.”

One of my favorite things about deletem.app is the ability to filter your posts by keywords and delete manually if you wanted to. :)

Tomorrow’s the day. I’m launching a Bluesky web app that lets you delete your post history. It has plenty of filtering options and was built mobile first, but looks great on desktop too.

It uses Bluesky OAuth, so you don’t have to deal with app tokens!

New iOS app updates are dropping and I’m starting to see some liquid glass! (I’m still on iOS 18)
Screenshot of an iPhone home screen showing two app icons. At the top, the Drafts app icon is displayed with a blue square background and a white overlapping bracket-like logo. Below, partially inside a folder, is the Overcast app icon with an orange gradient background and a black radio tower emitting orange signal waves.

I’m speechless. I want to wake up my wife and share this. 🥹

This has been a rough year and seeing kindness like this is so inspiring.
A fundraiser page for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital titled “St. Jude, childhood cancer awareness month.” It shows that $3,930 has been raised, surpassing the original $850 goal. A bright green progress bar beneath the numbers is fully filled, with two gold markers along the bar.

COVID vaccine complete, thanks science!

The skeleton on my arm has a cool bandana for now.
OPs upper arm with a colorful tattoo of a skeleton with red ribs and flames in the background. The person is wearing a white shirt rolled up at the shoulder. A red Walgreens bandage with a white “W” logo is placed on the upper arm, partially covering the tattoo.

Hey friends, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I’m supporting St. Jude because no family should have to worry about bills while their child fights cancer. If you can, please join me: tilt.fyi/UnkCdtCAB1
A smiling child wearing a birthday hat sits behind a cake with lit candles. A large gold awareness ribbon overlays the photo. Text reads: “Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Join St. Jude this September as we honor those with pediatric cancer. We won’t stop until no child—anywhere—dies from cancer. HELP GIVE THEM TOMORROW.” Illustration of a child lying in a hospital bed with an IV, playing a video game. Two adults, likely parents, sit close by in support. Text highlights that 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, with half undiagnosed, and describes St. Jude’s partnership with WHO to improve global access to treatments. Illustration of a globe with colorful lab flasks arranged around it, symbolizing global science collaboration. Text explains that 90% of children with cancer live in low- and middle-income countries, where access to diagnosis and treatment is limited, and describes St. Jude’s global efforts to close this gap. Illustration of a scientist in a lab coat and gloves looking into a purple microscope at samples on a tray. Text notes that over 290 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer each week and that St. Jude’s research has raised survival rates from 20% to over 80% since 1962.

Sup hackers, if you see me around ask for your very own Skippy sticker! Happy defcon all! #defcon33
Person taking a mirror selfie wearing a black T-shirt with a cartoon-style green bomb character smiling and giving a thumbs-up. The shirt text reads “HANG IN THERE” above the bomb and “IT GETS WORSE” below. The person is making a peace sign with their left hand and wearing salmon-colored shorts. A sticker shaped like an evil-looking paperclip with red eyes, placed on a large green letter “R” on a black background. The sticker’s speech bubble says, “It looks like you’re exfiltrating data, would you like help?”
