Pro tip: write your blog post while listening to a movie score that encapsulates the vibe of your message. Works everytime and it’s so fucking fun.

I learned this from Pusha-T who revealed that he wrote It’s Almost Dry while watching The Joker (2019) and listening to the score. https://youtu.be/vnkiVa4A-F8

There are 300K+ views on Youtube of my talk! I've never had a talk get this amount of traction. I'm a bit in shock.

It's confusing as I've been speaking/writing about this for years. Somehow the stars aligned this time.

Upside is that I've had lots of interesting conversations with folks because of this.

Wrote down what I learned so far and open questions in this new doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16QNavHjds1OdkKsfqLYx6EF0ohA-Qh%5FdZc8OK9TFrQk/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.z1r9lwho309s

…in case you are interested in seeing where I am and what are my next steps, and maybe have new ideas. Thanks in advance! The doc is free to comment, or you can always ping me here.

not a good pattern

In 2003, Apple released a 64-bit dual-core 1.8Ghz system: Power Mac G5.

In 2023, Apple released a 64-bit dual-core 1.8Ghz system: Apple Watch Series 9.

The Watch is faster and has more RAM.

The G5 was too hot to put in a laptop. It'd use up S9's battery in under 2 minutes.

Before I got the Fuji and after I stopped using the Canon, I was in my iPhone era. The iPhone 6 Plus camera had a charm that I don’t see in later iPhone cameras. No dynamic range. Poor in low light. But in good light its photos felt nicely naturalistic #photos #photography
