lol great. Because I didn’t keep my Twitter account and actually deleted it, there’s now a ICO for @mozilla.org Hubs coin. Things are going great on Twitter 😂
A screenshot of a Twitter post from my former Twitter handle, @arobertlong, with my profile picture posting about a Mozilla Hubs ICO.

Watching the OpenAI Search livestream from this morning. Uhhh, Gracias Madre is permanently closed... How do they keep dropping the ball in these demos? Do you even test your searches beforehand? sf.eater.com/2023/8/29/23...
Screenshot of an iPhone from the OpenAI livestream showing a list of search results in ChatGPT Search. Listed is Gracias Madre, a vegan mexican restaurant in the Mission District of San Francisco. It says the restaurant is "closed until 11am" when it's actually permanently closed.

Nope, just updated. North of the bay. Just got the Tsunami warning on my phone. Hoping for the best on the north coast! Not sure how this propagates to the bay but better safe than sorry.

This is my first iOS app let alone SwiftUI app! It's been a cool project coming from a mostly web background. SwiftUI and React have a lot in common and a lot of different things going on. Working with Ryan is always fun. Be sure to look out for some creative interactions!
A screenshot of Newji with the prompt "Make a Siberian kitten as a cowboy an emoji" with 5 kittens with cowboy hats floating in bubbles surrounding the screen of an iPhone.

Since I've left my job I've been working on something for the Vision Pro 🙃 However, @warpling.bsky.social and I still found some time to make a fun little app called Newji!

Create stickers of anything directly inside iMessage!

Make something fun and weird!

A graphic of three iPhones showing screenshots of Newji. The first has the text "Make literally anything you can think of an emoji" with emojis of a frog with a top hat on a unicycle, a slice of pizza with an eyeball, and a pineapple turned into a rocket ship. All the emojis are floating inside bubbles in a cute emoji style. The second screen shows an emoji that was just created of a labradoodle eating a cherry pie, and the last shows the app being used in iMessage to generate a sticker of a "big rat dragging a pizza slice".
