Notes

Visiting my aging father this holiday season, he asked if I could pull up some old home videos on my phone. I did, and we watched an hour’s worth of ancient birthday parties. Upon seeing his parents in one video, he said:

I know every family is different. But there’s never a day I don’t think about both of them. <long pause> And sometimes wish I could just…talk to them…and tell them things I never got the chance to.

It was tough saying goodnight knowing this will probably be the last year my son believes in magic. But for tonight, this year, he does. And that’s enough.

I’m not technologically opposed to crypto, LLMs, or passkeys. But the level of zealotry I see from their respective proponents and communities is similar and equally off-putting. Big-time ick vibes.

For anyone wondering, the edge of an iPhone Air is stronger than a Studio Display.

It’s that time of year again. I’m once again asking you to donate to my wife’s fundraising campaign for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Here’s a blog post I wrote a few years ago that explains why this particular cause is so important to our family.

Donate here.
