Always making myself useful. Not a virtual assistant… yet.

Apple leaning into the cutout and making it a part of the experience makes this UX designer so giddy. #AppleEvent #iPhone14Pro #DynamicIsland

I will gladly accept this as a gift 😉 https://t.co/L7FCLr9w1B

Well that didn't take long. We decided to take a trip on Amtrak with the kids for spring break. 9 hours into a pleasant ride, a man was suddenly standing next to me, shouting across me at my 6yo son, "Remember what I told you. They stole you. They're pedophiles." 🧵

"Won" is misleading, but still glad to reach this stage.

Time to take it easy. #Duolingo

VERY interested to see them pull this off. And even MORE interested to see it in person. #olympicgames @Paris2024

Some people will think Trevor is thinking too much about this, but this mentality is pretty much how I get through every day of my life. https://t.co/5WBuwkeq6b

How I currently listen to @duolingo French podcasts:
- Transcript page and translation side-by-side
- Listen to French part on phone app
- Pause podcast, read French transcript
- Read English translation for parts I didn't understand
- Unpause

[Ivan W. Lam @IvanWLam]

I've only done two episodes, but the @duolingo French podcasts are so well produced!

Also makes me realize I need to work on my listening comprehension. 😅

[Ivan W. Lam @IvanWLam]

Just binged @KimsConvenience in a week, and I can't think of another show that made me feel nothing but joy watching and thinking about it.

Don't compare your insides to their outsides.

Learned from @ANNELAMOTT quoted in @JamesClear's 3-2-1 newsletter.

Also not sure how I slept on this #olympics #design playlist until now #brand

Only yesterday did I realize that the Rio 2016 Olympic logo matches Rio's famous mountainscape.

Today, I realized the Barcelona 1992 Olympic logo contains predominantly red and yellow, Spain's flag colors.

Such clever designs.

Someone may need to revoke my Olympics nerd card.

Great to be part of the 1% who now understands the climate crisis better now. Thank you @hankgreen for explaining a rather complicated problem. #ClimateEmergency
