Urban romantic. Maker of moments and meaning. Tenor, pianist, AI tinkerer. Obsessed with form, memory, and the magic of place—from Ravel to Renoir, street grids to sacred music. Always exploring, occasionally snarky, mostly becoming.

I grew up learning by doing—and noticing.
This space is for design, memory, music, AI, cities, and the sacred.
Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes snarky (usually about dinner or film), always curious.
Ritual, rhythm, beauty, and real talk welcome.
Let’s build a better way to be online—together.

macOS icons have been eccentric for decades. Myles and Jason rip the new ones apart! Wow guys!
My takeaway: I forgot about the color picker eye dropper thingy, thanks, guys.
And love the nostalgia for “Finder”.

Apple Music app inside ChatGPT does not work inside a Project where I scaffolded an export of my Library and docs about my preferences, only as a root convo.
But I could still add the files to a new convo. Some of these AI-created playlists are quite good!

I think the main issue with Apps in ChatGPT is that if you use a Thinking model, an app's widget gets loaded multiple times until it reaches its goal.
This is confusing. Like here's what happened when I asked to create a playlist (which it did in the end). The intermediate steps should be invisible

Inline native task objects. I haven’t been this excited about the use case since Liase’s Outlook plugin.
Introducing contextualized task management! When you create a task within an existing object, that object will become the context for the task.
A task tab will be created in that object, where you can process related tasks. This way, you only see tasks in context; when and where you need them. ✨

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

iPadOS: four-finger sideways swipe switches between stages!
It feels weird to find simple pleasure in a surprising Apple iPadOS design feature. But on my Magic Keyboard, I can swipe sideways with four fingers to switch between stages, just like I can switch desktops on macOS. Woo hoo!

BREAKING THROUGH INDECISION
When fear and indecision creep in, remember: the way through is action. Surrender to the flow of the Universe, trust, and move forward—any step breaks the hold of ego. The path clears when you simply do.

Here’s to hoping this iOS 26 dev beta 4 stops crunching my battery charging capacity! Lost between 3-5% so far this beta season charging to 80%. Ah the price paid to be at the bleeding edge!
Paid off well because I got to see the first Liquid Glass, and it was Soooooo beautiful! Frosted Glass, meh!
