Thanks to my inquisitive daughter, today I learned there is a glacier on the equator. The lowest recorded temperature at the equator was -25°C (-13°F) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayambe...

We had a wonderful conversation about creativity, curiosity, and what it actually means to thrive as a maker right now. He explains the importance at always adapting, why craft+judgement+people+time is the formula for escaping AI's average output, and much more
I was already thinking about Brendan a lot as we enter the creative infinite (bradfrost.com/blog/post/th...), so when I saw his name in the Eno credits, I literally screamed and reached out to him immediately.
Brendan is a brilliant multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and technologist. Just one of his many creative projects involved creating the technology so the brilliant Eno documentary the film is different every time it's viewed. Generative system for a generative film about a generative artist. 🤯

I still remember my first time trying out HTML at a school computer lab and the magical feeling of hitting Save and Refresh and seeing the webpage change. I wish I still had the old Elizabeth Castro book I used then.
BEAUTIFUL.
Someone I taught basic HTML once said "it's like having a magic marker that gives words meaning" and honestly that's a pretty good image

I can't stop thinking about how funny this would have been. #Artemis #splashdown

We just walked our new collaborator through some HTML basics, and her reaction of seeing <h1>Hello World</h1> change to <button>Hello World</button> was PRICELESS.
The Web is magic. The Web will always be magic.
There’s bravery, and there’s…
Just kidding, love ya @cydharrell.bsky.social !
What an absolutely delightful listen. 🙏
@bradfrost.com sounds genuinely excited about Storybook, Chromatic, and Storybook MCP, and of course, my ego gobbles that up instantly.
But even disregarding all of that, it's a fantastic conversation about components, design systems and AI.
Hard recommend.
I can guarantee there's a word for "numerical alliteration," but I don't know what it is.
Sorry the camera was busted!
Somewhere along the way, I realized I’ve met 6 year olds who are wiser than 60 year olds, and 60 year olds who live with the vigor of 16 year olds. Numerical age doesn’t mean shit; your perspective is all that matters.
So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
10.3 has MCP
But it feels so empty without me
This has been a freaking journey, and I’m excited for what’s to come. Thanks!

So that’s what I’m here to do. It’s still a strange phenomenon talking through pixels and time and space, but I love connecting with people and knowing that there’s some people out there that are on the same wavelength as me. That makes me feel really good. I want to do more of that.
"I want to connect with you" feels so weird and disingenuous to say. I feel like the landscape has gotten so polluted where everything feels transactional or grifty. But fuck all that influencer noise that's been built up around social media and the web.
So here we go. Let’s see where this goes!
If you're reading reaching this at all, thank you so much. You may have been with me for over 15 years, or not. But whatever the case, thank you so much, and I really want to connect with you.
So yeah, that’s where I’m going! Building community. Giving things away. Teaching, connecting, learning from people. That’s what I want to commit my life to. That’s why I’ve been fighting so hard for: to put the financial foundation in place so I’m finally free to do this mission.
We're building a center of gravity around learning cool and relevant stuff, having fun, treating each other well. There's so much exciting stuff on the horizon, and we're scheming with friends and the community to do fun stuff.
