I made us all a daily escape game (“What if Wordle was a maze?”) — it’s called: a maze, a maze, a maze…

Crumbs A location journal that's actually yours.

I made a new app: Crumbs. It's a personal and private location journal, like Swarm/Foursquare but based on geo coordinates, not places and businesses.

Week 15.26 Spent the week making art with math, went on a side quest to make a 3D maze game, and survived a massive hangover. Also: Amazon US does not deserve to ship vinyl.

I’ll take cool and deranged as the highest compliment, thank you!

Week 13.26 Finished my biggest app yet, thinking about forming a late boomers' coding club, and reading the most beautiful book ever set in space. Also: I’m one sardine short of a whole can.

Week 12.26 Six apps in three weeks, staying up until 3:30am fighting a drum machine, and a photo walk on Emerald Hill. I think I have an AI G-force problem.

Week 11.26 Built two more apps, hit the sophomore slump with one and did my best work yet with the other. Also: the designing/developing distinction is collapsing, and how Disney on Ice is actually a sensible combination.

Week 10.26 Built a post-apocalyptic weather app in a single week, realized vibe coding has rewired my brain, and read the worst cozy Japanese book imaginable. Patience is going to be impossible in the new world, and that’s bad for everyone.

Urban Jungle transforms urban environments into speculative futures, visualizing how cities might evolve without human intervention, through a lens of ecological transformation. Oh, and it’s a weather app too.

Week 9.26 Deliveroo is leaving Singapore, which is a shame — the market doesn’t always pick the best product. Also: AI panoramas in Vision Pro, vibe-coded an album art app, and read four books including one that’s got me ready for a week of solitude.

Week 8.26 It was a rainy CNY and I gambled back what I gave out in angpows. Visited the National Gallery which exhausted me so much I broke my vow to stop buying records. Also: watched The Pitt and read a weird book.

Week 7.26 Finally went to the dentist after years of avoidance. Got a second opinion from an AI. Reconnected with a friend I hadn’t seen in four years. Climbed a virtual mountain to cope with the stress. Normal week.

Week 6.26 Read a stunning short story (Julia) about an artificial mind at the end of humanity — dense, beautiful, unforgettable. Also: a Moltbook follow-up, new Vision Pro experiences, and finally catching up on Apple TV’s Tehran after 6 years.
