Later this month marks the 20th anniversary of kicking off the HD era with the launch of Xbox 360. Helping build, ship and launch this console was one of ther most magical professional moments of my career. Here are photos of my launch console.

Fun fact: I have NEVER turned this console on.

I picked up a POP Phone from Native Union and join online meetings with it. I have been enjoying the quizzical looks from those too young to understand days of the landline. I got yellow to remind me of the Harvest Gold wall phone we had in my childhood home in CT

I've been on the iOS 26 beta for a few months now, and I've been quietly going through my various iMessage threads and changing the background (sometimes to ones that are quite amusing) so when my contacts upgrade they get a little surprise. Let's see how it goes.
