As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

@jonemo Wow, thank you Jonas! And sorry for missing this earlier this year!

@asymco A friend and I were talking yesterday about Apple’s functional structure and I tried to go waayyyyy back to the Critical Path archives to find you talking about it. Are they still around? It was episode 90, I think.

@TimSweeneyEpic We applied for a robotics / virtual production Megagrant with this video a few months ago. Haven't heard back but we think it's awesome. What do you think? https://t.co/oU49hGcZpw

@lefteyedgirl I’ve had Nutcase but found the Giro ones fit better and were more stable on kid heads

Some highlights:
- It's a real video, not CGI, lol
- BD worked with professional dancers and a choreographer
- It's not machine learning (yet)

Very proud to have been invited to talk to one my my long time favorite companies

[The Rework Podcast @reworkpodcast]

It was wonderful to have @davidnin of @LoupeTeam on the show to talk about using Shape Up in a world that's quite different from Basecamp's. If you work with clients, you'll want to give this a listen!

Just spotted some super scary Antifa downtown. I can see why the Feds are spooked.

Summary of our letter to Barr and Wolf: Your authoritarian police state is not welcome here. Get out of Oregon.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Federal officers wearing camouflage, using unmarked vans, arresting and detaining peaceful protestors, over the objections of local authorities, isn’t “law and order.”

It’s the exact opposite.

And it’s un-American and unacceptable.

[Cabel Sasser @cabel]

PS: I could've sworn one of the top 5 fantasies for gun owners was to bravely prevent an armed federal occupying force in unmarked vehicles and without identification from invading a city — super weird how quiet they are now

[David Nichols @davidnin]

@interfluidity I think the technical term for that is a “Hail Mary.”
