Rolled out a series of performance improvements tonight for posting on Micro.blog-hosted sites. Had to work through a few unexpected glitches. If you noticed any posts that were slow to update, they should be live now.

I was re-reading Om Malik’s essay about algorithmic timelines today. There is a lot that is relevant to our approach with Micro.blog.

Got new lenses for my scratched-up glasses. Store employee thought I was nuts not to get new frames too (covered by insurance) but I’m the worst at picking out the perfect frames among hundreds. My buying strategy for anything is just gimme a new version of what I already have.

Need to get back into adding new Micro.blog pins, so added a “25 posts” pin and a new secret pin for WWDC that will unlock if you mention the conference on Monday.

Gonna miss NSDrinking after all tonight… But in related WWDC news, new Core Int will be out tomorrow with our predictions, and then in just a few days I’ll be in San Jose. Starting to get excited about the trip.

Going to Radio Coffee & Beer tonight at 8pm for NSDrinking. Stop by for a coffee or beer and last-minute WWDC predictions.

10 years ago today, @danielpunkass and I released the first episode of Core Intuition. It was right before WWDC when Apple introduced the App Store.

We made a small tweak to the Discover screen yesterday to randomly show a few of the common emoji, instead of always the same 3. Still want to improve this with more emoji.

Looking forward to Cavs/Celtics game 7 tonight. Could be a great one. 🏀

Posted a new Core Intuition about the Twitter API changes, Micro.blog, more on Ghost’s API, a technical diversion into Photos.app drag-and-drop, and some thoughts on the Developer’s Union.
