Because these stories are told and retold, in meetings, messages, rituals, and daily interactions, they become a form of control. In communities, people regulate themselves through stories of solidarity and care.In partnerships, through stories of reciprocity and equality.In mark … | Continue reading
Found this really cool video of an iOS engineer showing real time specular shading based on the lights around you. Look I am not a fan of Liquid Glass in its current instance. However, I am still a fan of technical feats. Apple first introduced this in Apple wallet to cards and e … | Continue reading
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no […] | Continue reading

It’s a teenage rite of passage to explode into rage at your parents. While the usual outburst is sparked by some combination of hormones, insecurity, and authority issues, for me it was a popping sound in my father’s jaw. I first noticed it at the dinner table. Every time he took … | Continue reading
The Quicksilver inspiration is clearly visible and that makes me so excited. I am downloading it as type this post and I am genuinely thrilled to see if it is a replacement for Alfred 5, which is my favorite launcher. Right now, I will admit that it’s the quicksilver – subject > … | Continue reading

I really enjoy people showcasing their capabilities especially their creative skills. The only thing that will make me happier is if I get a chance to meet the person behind the craft to share how amazed I am to their face and that there are dozens of us who appreciate their craf … | Continue reading

I’d wondered why one of my favorite shows suddenly disappeared after a blisteringly good season. This video details how Swat Kats came together, how it was shivved because of corporate politics and American hypocrisy of “violent TV.” Swat Kats came at a special place in my life a … | Continue reading
Probably one of my favorite pictures I’ve taken in a while. Although I’ve been shooting quite a lot of keepers lately. | Continue reading
This video was thorough. It’s explored so many different facets. Yet, it’s cogently laid it out in a way that’s both entertaining, thought provoking and informational. I love when something does that – leave you with thoughts to process, research and be even more curious about. A … | Continue reading
Last week, this thread by Matt Shumer went viral and ricocheted through my group chats. The pacing was thriller-novel tight, the emotional hooks were deep, and the argument felt terrifyingly inevitable. The reaction from my friends was universal: “Oh shit.” The logic goes like th … | Continue reading
Recently, I mulled about how the lack of worry is a wonderful state to be in. It led to another thought. There are times at work where I am fascinated by the problem. I am researching hard, trying different things. Some end up in failures. Yet, I stay resilient. I get back on the … | Continue reading
Is this different / improved than what was showed in WWDC ’25? Liquid Glass + agentic coding = epitome of AI slop? 😛 Alright that might have been too mean. | Continue reading
Krapopolis is superb. You know human values are always drifting. It starts with enemies but always ends up with a baby pit 🤔👌 | Continue reading
How blame stops your debugging I want to start by stepping away from incidents for a second. Let’s say you’re in the kitchen with a friend. You’re cooking together, chatting, chopping, stirring. At some point, your friend cuts their finger while chopping onions. The first thing … | Continue reading
Life happens at 1x. Every conversation you’ve ever had. Every walk, every meal, every meaningful experience. None of it comes with a speed dial. We’re biological creatures wired for real-time processing. When someone speaks to you in person, you don’t get to fast-forward through … | Continue reading
When were you last free of worry?” I’ve been staring at this prompt for twenty minutes. The cursor blinks – a rhythmic, digital heartbeat against a blank white void. Have I never been free of it? No, that can’t be right. I force the first few words out. The opening sentence is al … | Continue reading
Oh how the mighty have fallen. I recommend reading the whole post. It’s an opus to how Tahoe UX design is an utter denunciation of the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines – once considered to be the gospel of how interface design must be done. I know it’s beating a dead horse at … | Continue reading
What a fascinating video. While I knew about plate tectonics, I didn’t realize that continental drift was sneezed at even 80 years ago, as late as the 1940s. How can I see more? How can I experience more of this wonderful place? That’s the mission for 2026. | Continue reading
Making a new camera, let alone a digital rangefinder, where your competition is the extremely pricey Leica, is a hard venture. Most camera manufacturers will choose the easy path, to great success. A fine example for this is Nikon. They were very late to the mirrorless game, but … | Continue reading
Motörhead has some memorable pieces. The most famous of them is “The Game” – infamous to be the entrance theme of HHH in WWE. But Ace of Spades is my favorite from this power trio. | Continue reading
Nobody signs up for monotony. It just… happens. One. Habit. At. A. Time. The same dark roast, one splash of milk, lukewarm by the second sip. The same playlist titled “Workout Jams” at the gym. The same gray stretch of highway. The same voices on the same scheduled calls. I’ve ho … | Continue reading

When we’re bored, we think. We get ideas. We let our mind wander. We ask ourselves; what if? We remember. We imagine. We relive. We learn. We reprioritize. We plan. We decide. My 2026 goal is to be bored more often – Colin Devroe Colin writes a beautiful post on why he’s prioriti … | Continue reading
But merely thinking about playing guitar does not make you a better guitar player. How many people do we know who continually talk about the movie they want to make, the company they want to start, or the trip they want to take, yet never take even the smallest act towards that g … | Continue reading
Most of us do the job hunt wrong. We look for posted job openings on LinkedIn, we apply to anything that catches our eye, and we hope we pass the AI filter to at least get a call back. We pull the arm of the career slot machine every time we refresh the feed. We […] | Continue reading
Google seems to be all-in on Gemini. Check out the new McLaren ’26 car. 2025 features Chrome and Android. This year is all about Gemini. Subjectively, the 2026 is a loss of character for the McLaren. It feels like just another generic F1 car. The lack of the papaya is particularl … | Continue reading
I just got the news. I am stunned. Just y’day I was discussing with H that this could be a possibility. Yet, the odds were low. I feel unmoored. I didn’t plan for this. But, instincts kick in.

In my life, I’ve struggled with spirituality. I grew up in a religious household. My grandparents lived piously and my parents lead a pious life. As a child, I never questioned faith. It was a blissful acceptance that this is what life is. With the trait for authority pleasing, I … | Continue reading

Outcomes are uncertain. Our effort isn’t. The truly enlightened will reach a situation where there’s no want for a specific outcome. However, if you are still on the path to enlightenment (like me), you need to internalize – effort’s all you have control over. Given effort’s all … | Continue reading
View on Threads Every once in a while a post is made that must be celebrated, archived and lauded for the pithy zinger it is. I am not arguing for maximalist icon designs anymore. However, there’s no denying that Apple used to have great icon designs (and icon designers). However … | Continue reading
My biggest learning over 2025 was that I want this list and I am making it. But, i also don’t want to wait until I retire to start going through that list. If the last year taught me anything, it’s that time is precious. If I wait until I retire to do the things I […] | Continue reading
I enjoy artistic expression and while I don’t still understand the intricacies that go into the craft of video creation, I understand storytelling. These are some of the artists that I really enjoy whose craft to tell a narrative is a step superior. They have a command over the c … | Continue reading
