A very touching story by Scott Knaster about his brother's passing. First, Scott doesn't share these very personal stories often; second, the relationship he depicts with his brother reminds me of mine with my brother. It's probably why I find this story touching.

The venerable DPReview website was rebuilt from the ground up, and I like what I see. I especially digg the typeface selection. Same content quality, just a modernized look built on a new platform. People seem to like it, generally speaking.

Great interview with Craig and Woz from Apple. Craig shares an interesting perspective on his childhood encounter with computers (40:42-43:49). Initially, as a 10-year-old, he was deeply skeptical of computer classes, believing they were for "posers" who just wanted to look cool. Craig, according to rumours, was reluctant to talk about generative AI until OpenAI popularized it as a product. Is this a character trait? His change of heart about generative AI looks promising and I like the way he talks about AI in general.
Cool little blog post about animating UI elements or UI state transitions. Sometimes, when using an app, there is a weird feeling that something is wrong. It might come from bad animations. Apple, are you reading this post?
I hope Apple will provide enough changes and tweaks to Liquid Glass tomorrow so I can update this project.
Something is going on with AI companies and their opaque financials. I'm not an expert, but something doesn't add up here.

Search came to ChatGPT, here, now AI comes to Google Search. I'm not sure that I like Google's take, coupled with ads all over the place, which influence search results, on top of AI's potential hallucinations and shortcuts, how can we trust this? Returning to Kagi.

This website was not functioning or being updated for some time until recently. I'm glad to see it back and active. Although I don't want another beta for iOS 26.6, it seems the trend is unlikely to favor my preference.
Digg is back... well, sort of. After a failed rebirth attempt, now they try again, but this time, it's quite different. It seems all about AI gathering news about AI. I live their new logo, though.
I posted this on Micro.blog more than seven years ago: The Return of Micro Blogging? It's been a long time since then, and so much has happened on Micro.blog.

I believe Greg has reached a significant milestone with the release of v2.0 of his Micro.blog client. I made sure to support his effort.

ActivityWatch an open-source time tracker. A free alternative to Timing, a paid app. I think this type of functionality should come built-in into the operating system with privacy and security builtin.

Spyglass has a new (or reworked) newsletter called "inklinks" that I much prefer to the previous format. Great newsletter name. It's a must read, from a well-known author in the Apple blogosphere. I'm still impressed by the number of inline links spread across on a single newsletter issue; how does he maintain such a capability to link back like this? ๐ค
One of the best OpenClaw quick startup guides. She's a bit hyper, but she's doing a great job at summarizing the setup to get you up and running fast with OpenClaw. I put that aside a few days after OpenClawd was released, but I'm starting to wonder if I should pay more attention to it now that things are maturing.
Getting ready to tell it all... ๐ต๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
Anthropic Opus 4.7 is out. Cue the release notes. I didn't know the concept of "migration" between models was a thing.
