My short posts tend to cut corners so they flow a little more like informal thoughts. I wonder if I’ll one day regret all the intentional comma splices. The semicolon is sitting right there yet I reserve it for only the rare sentence, like it’s sacred punctuation that will draw attention to itself.

Nice new micro app from @mattbirchler: Quick Stuff, for making App Store screenshots. If you look at any of my apps, the screenshots are always way out of date. I’d rather improve the apps than fiddle with screenshot sizes.

I enjoy visiting Apple’s home page every January to see the update for Martin Luther King Jr. They don’t reuse the same quotes and photos from last year, it’s always something a little new. Maybe I’ve lost faith in Tim Cook — see the bonus episode of Core Int — but this tribute still feels genuine.

We’re on a roll with movies this weekend. Just got back from Avatar 3. Unfortunately while I was away being overwhelmed with the beauty and spectacle of what they put on screen, the Micro.blog servers were being overwhelmed with traffic. 🍿
