Notes ¬

Thinking a lot about timeless designed pieces lately. Things that I would love to own and use for a long period of time, and items my son may one day aquire and make his own too. Here’s the running list so far.

• Watch: Tudor Pelagos 39
• Camera: Leica Q3
• Shelving: Vitsoe 606
• Knife: Chris Reeve Small Sebenza 31 in MagnaCut steel
• Grill: PK Grill Original 300
• Globe 6in Chefs Knife

Charley Crockett & Amos Lee summer concert tickets secured

My favorite everyday carry bag setup these days:

• Bag: Evergoods CIVIC Panel Loader 16L
• Camera cube: Evergoods CIVIC Access Pouch 2L
• Tech pouch: Evergoods CIVIC Access Pouch 1L

Finally was able to snag a Ricoh GRIIX, excited for a more pocketable camera to have with me when we are out and about.

Floating UI has to be one of the most underrated libraries.

36 years old and I still reward myself with 2 fruit snacks after dinner every night. AMA

Reminded this morning watching this concert how much i’d love to see Bon Iver on tour some day. Another good one to watch here too.

I’ve been consuming a lot of dive watch content recently and came across Benjamin Lowry in one of Teddy Baldassarre’s videos and have become a huge fan of his instagram account submersiblewrist. He shares a lot of historical dive watch content with some amazing photos from the times.

Smart people respect simple language not because simple words are easy, but because expressing interesting ideas in small words takes a lot of work.

Working on a new <Code /> component.

Getting into the habit of sharing a bit of WIP on Twitter. Here is a bit of work I did to add the ability to manage permissions to the create role dialog.

Built with Radix Popover, cmdk, and Framer Motion.

The advancements to CSS over the past couple years have been amazing. Would love to see what the next iteration of styling tables in 2024 would look like. So much of the web is tables or should be tables, yet they still are a pain to work with while preserving semantics.

Says the guy simply trying to make a table overflow when needed, without wrapping it in a div or putting display block on the table element…

I know I am late to the party as usual, but having a lot of fun with home automation workflows lately. Mostly lighting based at the moment. Regretting having invested in some stuff that is not HomeKit compatible though.

I’ve been using Karabiner Elements for some time now and up until today i’ve mostly just used it to remap caps_lock to escape and make use of vim navigation with h, j, k, and l.

Today I finally remapped right_command to left_shift + left_control + left_option + left_command, and now I have hotkeys setup in Raycast for my most common apps with right_command. Opens up new layers for optimizations.

Moved notes to its own collection. This adds a bit more flexibility for authoring notes that I was looking for. I can now create multiple paragraphs, blockquotes, and code blocks, etc.

New clerk.com dropped today. Pumped to see this one go live and be working on this team. So many little details to discover sprinkled throughout the site. Amazing work by Derek, Brad, and James.

Finally pulled the trigger on some wall art for the office from rsms and htmx.

Officially day one at Clerk, super excited to be joining the team as a UI Engineer working along side Derek Briggs, Joe Bell and Brad Cornes on the design team.
