Had some time to make an isometric Japanese 🫖 tea house in @figma for fun.
This was realllly just an excuse to use variable collections/variables in FIgma in order to create a 🌙 and ☀️ version of it.

Maybe the single most egregiously officiated game I’ve ever seen…
Made this little compilation from last nights Thunder/Spurs game of all the calls that went OKC’s way courtesy of @Rate_the_Refs.
I’m still baffled. Each one is worse than the previous. What is the @NBA doing?

I’m spending tonight with my mom, who has schizophrenia.
Tonight, I’m with the woman who was my best friend, my mom and confidant, who degraded into a frail human, attacked by her own mind and mental illness.
Tonight tho? We’re making a feast and she’s making green beans and bacon.

After four years of dodging the Covid bullet, I tested positive earlier this week.
Had a good run ✊

Also anyone who says masks aren't effective are wrong.
For the first time in four years we took a vacation and did everything without masks (typically would mask indoors when lots of people were present). Sure enough, tested positive shortly after returning home.

Okay so problem number 1 – It's listed at close to $1 Million as-is. The location is undeniable, though.
Question for those in-the-know:
Where do you even start when it comes to funding a project like this?

There's an old gas station for sale nearby, and the idea of turning it into a coffee shop with a retro gas station vibe is overwhelming me.

On top of everything else. The building sits at the end of main street, right before taking a road to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Is there anyway to make Twitter not be such a toxic source of content?
Is it just blocking people, and muting words to no end?

This feels like a major step in the "how might we bring AI into products" process that we'll continue to see unfold over the next few years. Looks super fun.

We put a very (very!) fun thing in Meta AI today.
Say "imagine me..." to see yourself anywhere your heart desires. If you're weird like me, you might imagine yourself with a magical emu.

One of my favorite phrases recently is the idea of "Admiring the problem".
It's the idea of getting lost in dialogue on the problem itself, while not taking the proper steps to solve said issue. Looking back, it's so prevalent in our everyday lives.

I love cooking.
But, to give you an idea of my ceiling, I don't know the difference between convection and convention ovens.
