obviously, i have no clue what io will introduce, but i truly believe that iphone era is closing and we'll be using user-programmable (plain speech) dinguses that we mostly talk to

if you fall into this super-non-specific venn diagram of 3d printing, film photography, large projects, bulk rolling of 40 canisters of film in one go, then you might find this film organization and storage case interesting.

just dropped dispatch 10 of The Flâneur. this one’s about gear—why we obsess, why it matters, and why sometimes it really doesn’t. introducing the “gear-freeze.” photos from stepantsminda, georgia, sep 2024. ttvl.co/flaneur/010/

since 2019 i’ve kept a daily journal.
a few months ago i started turning them into monthly recaps—removing private stuff, adding context, then publishing.

using cursor's composer in agent mode feels like being a senior developer managing one extremely up-to-date but inexperienced intern.

i can't imagine how hard it must be to find a job as a junior web developer these days — i have not done web work in a decade and can implement almost anything using cursor and composer in agent mode.

flying at ungodly hours from tbilisi airport remains my least favorite. however, it does offer stunning sunrises upon landing. (athens, ath)
