Our relationship in a nutshell
Update: I downloaded Apple's USDZ model, which they use for AR previews, and described exactly what I wanted to Claude Code. It extracted measurements, generated an OpenSCAD file, and rendered this turnaround in Blender. Sent it off to print, excited to see how it turns out!
😅 If it works, it works!
Now I just need to mount my Mac Studio on the other side. My first attempt at a 3D-printed solution was a failure.
If you can help, please reach out.

If you use Google as spell check, has it gotten worse lately? Tapping the “Did you mean ___?” link looks correct at first glance, but the search box reverts once you tap into it.
Every night, a GitHub Pages action rebuilds the Astro project to update the team pages, generate a new og:image with the same info, and post it to Bluesky. And yes… I shipped this right as the season is ending. 😅 Contributions welcome for other sports.

Living in Chicago means you don’t need to follow sports for a home game to turn traffic or transit into chaos. So, I built a single-serving site that answers the question: Is there a home game today?

All these Wordle clones, but imagine an alderman guessing game for Chicago. Call it: Wardle
Bundle analyzer screenshot showing a massive percentage of my app is just Unicode names
I’m working on a project that displays Unicode characters like “☰ Trigram For Heaven.”
Turns out that the names aren’t available in JavaScript, so I added a dependency to fetch them. It’s kinda wild how much bigger it is than the rest of my codebase. 🤯
Upgrading to oversized towels at home ruined hotel showers for me. I repeatedly forgot to lower my expectations. Then my first shower of each trip ends with a disappointing reality check.

I’d like to express gratitude to everyone who’s trusted Podlink: podcasters, listeners, publishers, and creators. You are why Podlink exists, and I’m committed to keeping it a simple, fast, and reliable resource for the podcasting community.
Spotify has been a fantastic partner in this process, working closely with me to guarantee a smooth handoff. I’m deeply grateful for their collaboration and support.
In 2024, as I was building EpisodesFM, I continued to advocate for Podlink’s return, given my deep passion for the original platform. Finally, in 2025, the stars have aligned for Spotify to return Podlink to me, and I can’t wait to bring those improvements to a larger audience.
In 2018, I launched Podlink to help podcasters share their shows ✨wherever you get your podcasts✨ In 2021, Podlink became part of Podsights, then Spotify, serving millions of listeners and creators. As I left Spotify in 2023, I immediately started asking about Podlink’s future.

Today, I’m thrilled to share that Spotify has returned Podlink to my care! After four and a half years, Podlink is back with its original founder, and I’m excited about what’s ahead.
you’re not wrong. I just couldn’t pass up the joke

A photo of an empty room with hardwood floors, beige walls, and a central bay window framed by three tall sections with white blinds. The room is lit naturally from the windows, and the view outside shows a brick building. The floorboards are glossy and reflect light, and there are white baseboards along the walls. The ceiling is flat and painted white, creating a clean, minimalist look.
After 3.5 years in Printer's Row, it's time for a new view 😍

@grafera.zone FYI, the Bluesky link on your website is pointing to your old handle. (Switching to a custom domain doesn’t hold it for you.)
Opening Slack for the first time after a holiday break and seeing the ⚠️ icon over my workplace’s instance will always create a pit in my stomach.
On my flight today, I watched The Departed (2006) and M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap (2024) simultaneously via passengers in the row before mine. I may not have heard any of the audio, but I feel entitled to partial credit in Letterboxd.

I’m so unnecessarily annoyed with this article. After reading 1300 words, I don’t think the average reader could accurately articulate *why* Bluesky has taken a different approach to verification.
