Adore this piece... We've spent years trapped by our own data islands. Moving meant starting over. Now Claude just casually migrates entire workflows between apps never designed to speak to each other. Notes to Notion. Reminders to Todoist. No code. Just choice

It's #Headstone Podcast Day!

Imagine building something incredible and then realizing the best part is when it doesn’t need you anymore.

Aliza Kline did that. I can barely close a group chat without anxiety that it's continuing without me.

Thanks for listening!

New #Headstone Day!

A 13-year-old bikes to the library to read old comic strips on microfilm. Just for fun.

That kid becomes @glennf.com. He documents the forgotten tech that made comics possible.

Some stories only survive if someone cares enough to tell them.

TIL hitting cmd-del on a file in the macOS trash is the keyboard shortcut to put the file back. Wonder how long that's been around.

One hundred thousand million billion percent yes to this. It makes me feel broken. Which, I believe, is a strong sign of the opposite.

TFW an ambulance goes lights and sirens behind you on the road, scares the crap out of you, and then you realize it's being driven by your daughter. Terrifyingly proud EMS Dad moment.

Launched a new podcast (finally!). 🪦Headstone is about legacy—the kind that sticks long after we're gone. Ep 1 is with my dear friend Carrie Fox, someone who leads with purpose, listens deeply, and gives of herself with a generosity that leaves a mark.

I made the mistake of telling a dear friend that I'm working on my II-V-Is in keys that are scary and she sent me this, which wins the day for my jazz playlist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiETL...

And now, of course, I have a bunch of new exercises to drill. 🤦‍♂️

Remember that Eddie Murphy bit where the ice cream truck driver trolled the kids by playing the ice cream song and then flooring it? I low key wonder if the designer in charge of the Finder icon was listening to that bit and giggling while making this thing.

This was great, Matt. I’ve never even heard of Zen. I have to say I’m bummed about the Firefox rendering engine for the same reasons. It sounds like you are, but just in the last few minutes, the browser itself is fast and seems quite capable. Great rec!
