Some of my previous SwiftUI colleagues have just released some amazing work in the App Store today! x.com/BitrigApp/stat…

Action Mode on iPhone is marketed for filming while running/hiking, but it’s also amazing for folks w/ tremors (like Parkinson’s). Love how this beautiful video highlights how Action Mode is making filming videos by hand, in the moment, more accessible. youtube.com/watch?v=hEalzE…

1 week in. New job + established team = months of necessary discomfort. Everyone has years more area experience, so all I can do: listen/learn/ask. Jarring after feeling adroit in my prev role! I keep reminding myself each job I got good at started as one where I felt clueless!

Few things more painful than getting CC’d into a Slack thread at message 50.

As I start on my music server, I was thinking: I never minded the hours spent in iTunes back in the early 2000s ripping CDs, editing metadata, & curating playlists. But I don’t think it’s nostagia. I think what I loved is the intentionality of it. Doing it showed me I loved it.

It’s a 5-hours-straight-meetings-thru-lunch-eat-nut-butter-out-of-a-jar-and-do-squats-and-pushups-off-camera kinda day.

TODAY WAS THE DAY, FOLKS! Wordle 1,535 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I’d never used Standby mode on my iPhone b/c I don’t charge it in my bedroom. But recently I started using it on my desk to display my calendar at work, and WOW is that useful! So nice to not have to switch apps or look at my desktop widgets to see my next meeting!

I’ve found that in this in-between space (waiting to move, learning a new rhythm/role at work), I’ve been returning to small practices that steady me: cooking, writing, running, routine. Trying to control what I can and to let go of what I can’t.

My takeaways from today's #AppleEvent : - I still cry at those damned Watch ads 🤦🏻‍♀️ - Apple Watch getting blood pressure is epic! ⚕️ - New orange Pro unibody is gorgeous 🧡 - Miami is a place I need to visit. 🌴

1. Remote role ✅ 2. Norway 🇳🇴 visa application ✅ 3. ...who knows!? 2 years ago I decided I wanted to move to Norway, not knowing when or how. Today I applied for my visa. Things are in storage, shippers are lined up, & it finally feels real. So excited for the next chapter!

Reminders.app out here holding my entire life together like digital duct tape, with whole lists called things like "Can I get X in Norway" and "The immigration state machine."

I booked the one-way ticket! Going to fly to central Europe on Oct 26 and do a little traveling before settling up north in Oslo. It still doesn’t feel real. I’ll be posting Reels like this about the experience on my IG, so feel free to follow along! instagram.com/share/_4aHW0lK7

Past me booked herself to teach a rope class laaate tonight and a doctor's appointment very eaaarly tomorrow. 😭 There’s a certain betrayal in realizing the architect of your exhaustion was none other than…yourself.

Just overheard a coworker say: "People only hide specifics when they don't know them or they're not good." ... and I'm not sure if they're taking about work or dating but either way: TRUE.

Almost done sorting, packing, offloading. Some stuff stored w/ a friend, some stuff ready for Norway, the rest given away via buy-nothing-new. Turns out a spreadsheet of my entire life’s possessions is the best endorsement for anti-consumerism I've seen yet.

The vocabulary PDF -> Anki Cloze-style flashcards pipeline via GPT for my Norwegian course has been a godsend of a time saver. Manually entering 100s of flashcards was wearing me down, but this means I can focus on the learning and not the data entry!

Last night, I went to say goodbye to my OG rope teacher by taking his class. I brought my heart so much joy to train with him again, and I'm so grateful to have learned for such an amazing coach and human. 💖 Here's the stuff we worked on—all new material for me and SO much fun!
