UX Designer. Voiceover Guy. Sentimental fool. I make stuff.
I spend creative time on DIY electronic projects, graphic design (logos, tshirts, etc), voiceover work, A/V production, web and app design and engineering, digitizing and archiving old media, and learning as many new skills as I possibly can.

It’s been a crazy and chaotic week. There will be more to come. I’m trying to get a leg up on a number of shifting piles.

Background processes continue to run, though, and I’ve been thinking a lot about my future presence on the interwebs.

Probably less than 24 hours before a white plume of smoke rises and I move to a vanity mastodon instance utilizing one of the absurd number of domains I have collected.

I also like Silver Cymbal and the content is very solid and bigotry free (if with a strange delivery cadence) but it’s still a confident middle American white dude

These apps didn't deserve to end up like this.

Twitter Intentionally Ends Third-Party App Developer Access to Its APIs

Late yesterday, The Information reported that it had seen internal Twitter Slack communications confirming that the company had intentionally cut off third-party Twitter app access to its APIs. The shut-down, which happened Thursday night US time, hasn’t affected all apps and services that use the API but instead appears targeted at the most popular third-party

I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.
