Earlier this year I was impacted by the mass layoffs at Block, which sucks. One upside, however, is that it finally gave me time to work on a major update to PageTurn, my app for hands-free document and sheet music reading.

This release adds a bunch of new features, including:
• Set lists
• Ebook support
• Web page support (surprisingly great for recipes when your hands are messy)

It's on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pageturn/id1589601355

Downloads/boosts/shares very much appreciated 🙂

Harvesting things from your garden to make dinner with whips ass.

By the time I started my career, this era of tech was over, but I very much wish I had the opportunity to be a part of Apple while Steve was around. CEOs just don't talk like this anymore. I can't think of a single tech CEO that's interested in products the way he was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoM2Y2KO6kU

The worst part about being laid off is I've become "checks LinkedIn every day" guy.

As you probably heard, Block laid off 40% of its work force today, including me.

I’m looking for an Apple platforms role that’s remote or in the Boston area. I’ve lead large engineering efforts that spanned platforms and shipped to millions of customers. I also happen to think I’m nice to work with.

@lickability Thank you for the holiday card! Very kind of you folks.

I had this happen a couple days ago while I was playing a game, and it slowed performance to a crawl. Restarting seemed to fix it, and the issue hasn't returned since, but this doesn't feel like a great place to be this late in the beta cycle. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/08/19/tahoe-free-space-problems/

We’re at Disney World for the first time, and I’ve gotta say, the Polynesian Village Resort is incredible.

I’m lucky enough to live by Minuteman National Park. This plaque from the visitor’s center from today’s visit hit home. Fight for others’ rights.
