  • Firefox Desktop

    The new auto desktop feature for large Android screens on Firefox so far seems 🔥!! Exactly what I was expecting when I started using Firefox on a large display last year. Thank you!!

  • Pocket

    What if I created my own computer company called Pocket and made the kinds of devices I want to see and use?? Could be soooo cool

  • F-Droid Exploration Sketches

    It’s been fun exploring open source design collaboration with people helping build F-Droid. Here’s some sketches that I made to communicate potentially design options for an upcoming app store design update to Material 3.

  • Acquired Tastes

    I don’t believe in acquired tastes

  • Legend of Ochi

    Just saw The Legend of Ochi today, so weird, and also so wonderful! Highly recommend and enjoying the music from it quite a lot too.

  • Nothing You Can Take From Me

    “Nothing You Can Take From Me” from Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes would be a fantastic anthem for the rising rebellion. 😏✊

  • Funkbard

    Been using someone else’s Funkwhale instance for a bit and I decided to finally try setting up my own! I’m SUPER excited to be trying it out!! 😍 It’s an experiment to primarily see how deeply I can customize the feel and branding through their CSS editor thing. And second, to see how much I…

The more I wait, the more the excitement builds!! ✨ It’s funny but…

It’s gone through many iterations but is currently called “Notes”, which was a temporary placeholder name while I work on the branding, design, IA, and many other pieces. Also not sure if I want just micro blogging posts and…

  • A Challenging Playground

    One of the most challenging parts about what I’m creating with One Quest is that I’m not just designing components, creating a brand or writing articles. I’m doing all of that while also trying to understand how my brand and digital identity fits within the broader tech ecosystem. I’m doing all of that while pushing…

  • Wireless Charging Issues

    I really wish there was a variant when buying an Android computer to exclude the wireless charging coil. It was a cool idea, but it’s been executed very poorly imo. The biggest issue I’m aware of being that it heats the battery more causing faster degradation. Plus, now with passthrough charging (which I’m fairly positive…

  • Make Anything Beautiful

    You can make any experience beautiful, wherever it is. All you need is to give it the energy and space that’s required to understand the system deeply and then focus on making that system shine! This is why I don’t just believe that mobile computing deserves a primary seat at the table, but it’s why…
