I was inspecting Airbnb's site to see how they did some of their new animations and was greeted by this delightful recruiting message in the console. I love this! #designsky

While I'm bummed to miss #Config2025, I gotta take care of the kiddo who's been a total champ with his celiac and other healthcare appointments this week. So far his levels are trending back to healthy! #celiacawarenessmonth

When it comes to tying everything together, Kevin implements it quick and I delve back into front-end portions of the code. It's a harmonious blend of design and engineering. He'll also implement design concepts of his own and we'll critique them and throw away or merge concepts.

The current design approach is very throwaway. Getting the feel right is critical and involves a lot of paper/pen sketching -> prototyping functionalities and layouts in @v0.dev . I haven't touched @figma.com much, aside from some early visual design explorations and jams with Kevin.

M9R plugins are coming along nicely. While still prioritizing playback of local files, we're adding in the ability to connect, search, and playback from Apple Music. Lots to do.

I got a new computer. It’s easy on the eyes, has an amazing keyboard and display, lets you stay focused on tasks, awesome for writing, makes phone calls, and it has a stylus.

Apple Music is so bad that it can't keep any of its playback surfaces in sync. Apple needs to remove Jeff Robbins and put in new engineering and design leadership for Apple Music. It's time. This is ridiculous for a platform that is historically so good at audio handling.
