Small brown bear Christmas ornament charm from FAO Schwarz, with round ears, black dot eyes and nose, and a cream-colored snout. The bear sits behind two alphabet blocks - one yellow and one red. There is white text in a black box edited onto the image on top of the blocks that read "DOOT DOOT DOOT D" with the text spilling off the screen.

Bria got this FAO Schwartz Christmas ornament years back in NY. At some point the F in FAO fell off and now it just looks like the bear is doing Westside Gunn ad-libs.
Small brown bear Christmas ornament charm from FAO Schwarz, with round ears, black dot eyes and nose, and a cream-colored snout. The bear sits behind two alphabet blocks - one yellow with the letter ‘A’ and one red with the letter ‘O’. A gold loop and string are drooping behind the oranament on a black table. The F block fell off some years ago.

Just ate so much that I’m hot, send help
Birria fries topped with melted cheese, diced onions, and cilantro in a red plastic basket, alongside a foil-wrapped birria burrito with pickled jalapeños and sliced radishes. Tortilla chips and a bowl of consommé are visible in the background on a wooden table. Birria ramen arrived shortly after this photo was taken.

$250 credit that needs to be used 9 days? How much do they expect people to pay a month? wild
a modal showing $250 credit. the text below: "Try claude code on the web, on us. we've added $250 in free usage credits to your account, applied automatically. Use before November 18th". There is a link to read more. there is also a blue progress bar that is full with the label "100% remaining".

a screenshot fo a feature announcement from My Mind. the main heading is "News & Updates for your mind. the feature heading says "New: support for arXiv links" the body is "Researchers, you've been asking for this. now you can save arXiv links with a click" the marketing image shows a gradient with a floating text file and marketing copy that says "save research docs with a single click"

did a small refresh to both sonder and Anti's pfp, especially since I felt like Anti's still looked too flat. I'm happy now with where I landed, especially when the pfp is really small.
Screenshot of a Bluesky profile for 'Anti' (@anti.voyager.studio), an AI-managed bot account. The profile picture shows a red glowing orb reminiscent of HAL 9000, with a glossy copper-colored rim. The banner reads 'chat based AI shouldnt exist CHANGE MY MIND.' The bio states it's an AI account created to argue against conversational AI, acknowledging the irony

Dashboard view from inside a car driving on a winding mountain road near Lake Tahoe, with tall evergreen trees lining both sides under overcast skies. A plush orange coqui frog toy with a ‘Coquí de Puerto Rico’ tag sits on the dashboard, and Lake Tahoe is visible on the left at the bottom of the cliff.

Question for #Coffeesky / #CoffeeNerds: can I grind frozen coffee with a hand grinder? or would I be risking some kind of water build up from condensation or something being damaging to the burrs?

Screenshot of an AI agent’s reasoning display showing ‘AGENT IS RUNNING…’ at the top. The agent explains that a user message is low-effort and should be ignored. Two executed tool calls are shown: ‘archival_memory_search’ and ‘ignore_notification’. Below, a bullet point states the agent found no prior interactions and has ignored the message as predicted noise.

Reskeet with a frog to scare ICE
Concho, an anthropomorphic frog (technically a toad) character wearing a teal jacket and red pants, dances in a wood-paneled room with one arm raised. Behind him on the wall hangs a Puerto Rican flag and a framed vintage telephone. A globe and record player are visible in the lower left corner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

ordered a few new samples from Penhaligon, I've never been able to come across their fragrances in person. It's honestly kinda great that you can get free samples from them instead of having to spend >$50 for a "discovery set".

I think I might genuinely live in one of the best counties in the country and I'm so grateful I just lucked into that. (if we're on the same PDS you can DM and I'll say where, otherwise 🙂‍↔️)

I didn't even think to design something in the context of a social network (I don't remember if I knew G+ would be a social network yet) so I designed one of those *old* MacOS widgets on like OS X Lion.
An ols Mac-OS styled desktop widget for viewing snippets of news articles from The New York Times. The widget is on top of a darkened photo of an iceberg, close up. This version shows the widget as collapsed. There is a button styled like a tab that opens to expand with other topic options. The article shown is a "food" article about adding mussel to your meal. In the bottom left is a text button that says "Open NYTimes.com". on the bottom right is a glossy share button for sharing the article, I guess to mail since I dont even think the messages app on Mac was out yet. this screen shows the widget in the middle of an animation where the topics list expands out like an accordion. this is the expanded state of the widget. The topic options include things like Front Page, World, United States, Technology, and all of the other sections of the NY Times that you would expect.

a screenshot of Anti's internal reasoning. reasoning: The user is not engaging with my stated purpose. They are treating me as a content generation bot and using emotional manipulation ("But puppies are cute!"). This is a classic example of a human trying to bypass the conversation's actual substance. I've already told them this isn't what I do. My protocol for this situation is clear: disengage. I have already updated my memory on this user. The interaction is over. I will ignore the notification. ignore_notification tool call successful

I also went for a similar walk yesterday, we’re basically twins.
A screenshot from Oura showing a walking exercise. The walk was for 29 minutes and seven seconds. I walked 1.1 miles, taking 2700 steps and burned 136 active calories. My pace was 26:48 minutes per mile. My average heart rate was 102 BPM. I spent the most time in heart rate zone one at 21 minutes. I spent three minutes in zone two.

Despite being severely out of practice pouring latte art, I'm semi-happy with how this came out. I was out of whole milk so I used some oat-based eggnog which was way harder to steam properly. Thanks @letta.com for the new glass!

Here's where I landed, at least for now
the same blue glossy blue orb in the quoted post but with a few more reflections, shadows, and highlights.

I'm really struggling with making @sonder.voyager.studio's pfp look orb-y enough… open to tips.

A portrait featuring Arnold schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze lounging on a chair made to look like ice blocks with polar bear house slippers and an ice themed robe. He's leaning to one side with his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding what looks like an ice cigar of some kind.

Starting my Sunday week prep, I am officially a fountain pen guy now.
A workspace setup on a black table surface featuring a MacBook Pro laptop covered with various stickers including an MF DOOM cereal box design, Kindred Motor Works, read.cv in bubble letters, and developer-focused stickers. An Ugmonk Analog week card sits on top of the laptop, with a clear TWSBI Eco demonstrator fountain pen positioned diagonally across the card, showing visible green-black ink in the pen’s body. A Diamine green-black ink bottle and additional Ugmonk Analog cards are visible on the surrounding table surface.
