Actually, I doubt that my twitter feed will change at all. I still am enamored with Largo at the Coronet, Guitar Circle, Rust, Indian food, and sushi.

I really don’t mean to poke bears, but I just read Mark Nottingham’s recent post and can’t help but have XML Infoset flashbacks. mnot.net/blog/2022/06/0…

I suspect that when Apple finally ships a brown device, it will be hailed in the press as fashion forward, and mocked by Twitter, which will refer to it as Zune Brown.

I work at a company that is almost completely browser based some requiring (ugh) chrome. I now officially hate tabs. How do put Chrome into 1990’s era no-tab mode? The first three answers from a web search were stale or wanted me to install an extension, which feels broken.

I’m officially having the most satisfying and fun time at work since Xbox in 2010-2013. Great people, incredibly hard problems, and an aim worthy of pouring my heart and soul into. AR is such fertile soil for product and technology people.

I love computing history and always have. Having now been full time in AR for 5-ish years, I wonder how history will judge HoloLens. Will it be Engelbart’s mouse? Xerox Alto? 128k Macintosh? I can convince myself of all three, but future humans will be the ones to decide.

I’m not sure which of these Paul Allen legacies I’ll miss the most. Seattle Cinerama or Living Computing Museum Bill Gates - any interest in helping bring these Seattle institutions back to life? I’m happy to work a few days a year at either one if that helps.

I was pleasantly surprised a few months ago when I realized I was on yet another team that has a shader compiler. sparkar.facebook.com/ar-studio/lear…

When I worked on .NET, the CIL opcodes named box and unbox always caught my attention. I work on AR Glasses and we use the term don and undon to refer to putting glasses on/taking them off. I expect my retirement post and/or eulogy to have the phrase “undon unbox.”

I have some friends who need to run MacOS in a virtual machine on their Macs. What's the easiest to use solution for non-techies? Ideally free or super cheap.

Like many people doing composition or arranging, I'm spending time with MusicXML. I'm already finding interop challenges. Is there a conformance suite?
