For years, I've been a part of the cult-like following that adorns @Apple. Looking for a new creative output, I thought I'd finally create a place for my random thoughts about Apple, tech & the impact that have on our culture/way of life.

The way Steve taught us to care about every detail, every experience, every person, still guides our work today. Forever grateful.

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

What I love about design is that there’s never really a ceiling. There’s always some new way to do things. This is beautiful.

Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO.

He’s not a “product guy”… except he launched the Watch, AirPods, Services, Vision Pro, and Apple Silicon.

So did we get him wrong?

A look back at his surprisingly complicated legacy 👇

Wealthsimple just launched Smart Cashtags with @X letting Canadian investors tap any ticker, land in Wealthsimple and trade. First company in the world to do this.

[Ben Rudolph @thebenrudolph]

Huge!

[Wealthsimple @Wealthsimple]

Hello Smart Cashtags.

Starting today, any ticker tapped on @X routes Canadian investors straight to Wealthsimple to trade. One tap from conversation to order entry. That's it.

“We’re witnessing a polite pogrom.”

Read that again.

That should stop us in our tracks.

I wrote an op ed for the @nationalpost today to say this plainly: Jewish Canadians are being targeted simply because they are Jewish. That is antisemitism. And it is getting worse.

Apple had “There’s an app for that.” 🍎
Now, OpenAI does too. 🤖

This week, OpenAI announced app integrations for ChatGPT to turn it from a chatbot into the next operating system for the web.

It’s brilliant, a little terrifying, and maybe the start of the App Store era for AI
