Flying back to Stockhome after 3 wonderful weeks in Texas. A vaccination, a family reunion, daily Wave Runner rides on the lake, a road trip, an unexpected SF guest, and so many new memories. My heart is full.

If my primary use case for sending email from my website is a contact form that just emails me, is there a good reason to not simply use my email provider’s SMTP instead of SendGrid?

Something I noticed with my 6 niblings this weekend: literally every toy can/will be weaponized.

I witnessed magic spells, cops & robbers, space wars, shark attacks.

I preferred when people blogged instead of email newslettered.

Ransom DDoS attacks were an expensive common problem for even small businesses before Cloudflare and Fastly.

For people advocating for decentralization after #FastlyDown: How can a small e-commerce company defend itself from DDoS ransom without big tech?

A well designed product must not only give the user a super power, it must also not make the person using it more vulnerable while using it.

I am still impressed by Apple’s engineering privacy into the foundation of so many of its #WWDC21 announcements yesterday.

Reminder: Apple prohibits Firefox and other Web browsers from allowing extensions in their iOS apps. #anticompetitive #WWDC21

I don't want Universal Control. I don't want to have to own both an iPad and a Mac for creating. I want a macOS device with a touch and pen input. #WWDC21
