Nick Hook tweeted this song last night. The album is exceptionally good.

I mocked up my living room in SketchUp to see how some furniture would look.

How did this become so common for web apps? It’s so rude!

I just ran into my neighbor who informed me that our building has a fully accessible roof deck. I’ve lived here for just over a year and had no idea.

I’m equal parts ashamed and delighted.

Aside from split screens, my favorite iTerm 2 feature is its ability to cancel a restart.

Just enable Confirm Quit iTerm2 (⌘Q) in iTerm’s preferences and cancel when prompted to quit upon restart.

Robot and Frank is the feature film debut of Jake Schreier, my friend and longtime Francis and the Lights co-conspirator (you may know him as the director of the incredible video for The Top). It stars Frank Langella as an old man with a slipping memory whose kids (James Marsden and Liv Tyler) give him a caretaker robot that he initially loathes but gradually forms an uneasy alliance with. It just premiered at Sundance this week (see some clips here) and will likely be coming soon to a theater near you.

It also features a number of near-future devices with fictional user interfaces imagined and designed by myself, which was one of the funnest projects I’ve ever worked on. I have a new appreciation for the needs of a real, functioning interface versus the kind you see in the movies. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you wind up seeing it keep an eye on Frank’s TV and everyone’s cell phones and tablets.

So, clearly I’m biased, but I saw a rough cut of the movie a couple months back and truly loved it. I couldn’t be more proud of Jake, who’s been working slavishly on this for a long time (he talks about the genesis of the project in this interview) as well as Francis, who wrote the film’s beautiful score.

If I never get to work on something cooler I’ll die happy.

This looks really great.

I’ll be joining Buzz Andersen, Majd Taby, Tom Dale and Lia Napolitano for a panel on the role web content plays in native mobile apps at this year’s SXSW Interactive.

Mayor Bloomberg was running late to the State of the City. Watch his livery cab journey to Morris High School in the Bronx and see who he ran into on the way…

WELCOME TO MY BRIDGE!

I always love seeing Sophinie’s sign show up in people’s photos of the office.

Fun fact: the current iteration of start.io is 5 years old.

iTerm 2 + Lion fullscreen + 30” display. The exact inverse of Justin’s VT220.
