When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @NBA, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of @LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

Design Twitter, lock in.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games? Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you. Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them. 


Why do we call this static? feels like we should call it dynamic

Spotted in the NYC subway. “Zero screen time.” An iPod Shuffle ad in 2026. When we built the iPod, the goal was the technology disappeared and you could have your music wherever you were. 1,000 songs in your pocket. Now we’re living through a moment where people are actively looking for ways to disconnect from the infinite feed, algos, and constant notifications. That doesn’t mean technology is bad. It means the best technology understands when to step back. Not every problem needs another screen, another menu, or another layer of complexity. Constraints create freedom (read: @DavidEpstein new book Inside the Box). And often removing features creates a better product than adding them. The future of technology shouldn’t just be more engagement. It should help us be more human.

Making the WatchOS version a first class citizen has been fun too. I don't need to open my phone to see the times of departure for trains closest to me.

Just updated my app for the quickest way to see when your subway is departing. The widgets work great, supports multiple trains, and multiple widgets. apps.apple.com/us/app/now-de…

McMaster-Carr is going to make McMaster-Cards (!!!)

A well written piece that matches my feelings. Quite a tenure. engadget.com/big-tech/heres-…

The Steam reviews for Little Nemo are now officially "Very Positive" at 94%! 🎉 I'm really blown away by how well received it's been so far. 😊

I thought the lower half of manhattan was a FEMA zone… Google Maps UX team needs to rethink outlining areas of interest in red

New Yorkers, can you check and see if searching “now departing” brings up my subway departure time app?

Terence Tao proposes what he calls a "Copernican view of intelligence". Instead of buying into the common, one-dimensional narrative that artificial intelligence will simply evolve from "subhuman" to "superhuman" and ultimately make humanity entirely redundant, Tao urges us to look at the bigger picture. Much like the Copernican revolution proved the Earth is not the center of the universe, Tao suggests we need to realize that human intelligence isn't the only, or necessarily the highest, form of intellect. Historically, we have treated other forms of storing or creating knowledge—like animals, books, and computers—as secondary. However, we actually exist within a much richer universe of intelligence. Both human intelligence and computer intelligence possess their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. The true potential lies not in viewing them as direct competitors, but rather in focusing on collaboration. By working together, humans and computers can achieve additional things that neither could accomplish on their own, requiring us to think in much wider terms than just what humans or computers can do alone.

No cameras. No extra sensors. Your smartwatch already has everything it needs to track your hand. ⌚️✌🏻 Monday at #CHI2026, @jiwan_hci and I are presenting WatchHand, a continuous 3D hand pose tracking system that uses just the speaker and mic in your smartwatch.

I wanted to sincerely thank you for the interest and the incredible reach that Algebrica has received over the past three days. Nearly 200,000 views, thousands of shares, and so many messages of support for a free and open project. In the coming days, I will release an initial collaborative layer that will allow users to improve individual sections through an integrated Markdown editor directly on the pages. This is just a first step, in the coming weeks I will try to develop something more structured. I must admit that I had no real sense of how much a free project like Algebrica could be appreciated and recognized, in a web where everything seems to turn into business, as something useful and valuable. This is especially true considering the inevitable imperfections, given that it has always been managed alone as a personal project, and in a language that is not my native one. I think that if we could return, even partially, to the original spirit of the web and step a bit outside the narrow confines of social media, we would realize that there is a whole world out there full of interesting projects, cultivated with passion by people who simply want to share knowledge for the sake of it. Algebrica is just one of many. Thank you again, truly.

It is funny how I hesitate to use grammatically correct punctuation now, simply to make sure my communication feels authentic. Perhaps that has always been the case, but feels more so now than ever.

The loupe for adjusting corners on @apple's crop feature for scanned images needs to present above the user's finger rather than directly beneath it. Obvious when using on the device, not when operated with a mouse in simulator.
