@matt thanks for the reminder! Just bought tickets for tonight.

Love the little details from Apple: if you're using an analog watch face, the clock within Widgets is analog, and if you're using a digital watch face, that clock is digital. ✨

Back in the home studio today, and I'm so excited for my first year ahead as an independent designer. Excited for what's to come! 🙌

@kevin so much cringe.

@rafa this was the tutorial I followed—actually incredibly easy! The toughest part was getting the rubber bottom off without ripping as it disconnected from the glue. A hairdryer helped!

Time Capsule nostalgia. 🌀💫 I recently picked this up for cheap on eBay, replaced the drive inside with a faster 4TB HDD, and it's good as new and now backing up all of our home's Macs.

@christianselig Hold CMD + click! You'll then be able to drag and you’ll have a curve. ✨

I’m five weeks into being fully independent with Baseline, and I think it’s true what they say: working for yourself is 60% communication/emailing and 40% actually designing. It’s been a huge adjustment, but I honestly couldn’t feel happier now that I’m settling into it all a little more, and am excited for the projects ahead in 2024! ☺️

@christianselig Have the gray version, and it's genuinely one of my favorite purchases! Sooo well made.

@drewpickard Currently have an M1 Max, but with only 32GB of RAM. I'm currently swapping 12GB, which isn't the end of the world, just kind of annoying and things get a little slower.

@dcseifert honestly all I could think about while watching.

The bad news is I'm running out of RAM all the time. The good news I have an excuse to upgrade to a new Mac Studio soon.

Without a doubt, Rdio was the app that got me interested in design all those years ago. Missing it every day. 💔

Tomorrow is Election Day in the US, including in my state of Virginia where the entire legislature is up for grabs.

If you can, PLEASE make it a point to go vote. So much about many folks' liberties is potentially at stake, most notably abortion rights. These state and local races can make a big impact.

@drewpickard Mostly 0 → 1 in Figma, and then working with a handoff and training model to help the library become successful for the team.

@matt I can't believe every calendar app doesn't have it built in nowadays.

Kicking off a design system project for a big new client this week and couldn't be more excited! Grateful every day to love the type of work I get to do, especially now that I'm independent. 🙏

@lucaorio it’s been fantastic, and I’m still using it! Way less pain. Thank you so much!

@BasicAppleGuy you are a gift.

I still think often about how great this ad campaign for the iPod shuffle was.
iRun, iCommute, iRelax, iBike.
