REMINDER to go #Apple picking IRL this season! Many good places within 90 minutes of NYC. Steve Jobs chose the name "#Macintosh" because it was "America's favorite Apple" at the time. (So if released in 2020 it would have been Honey Crisp, and today in 2026 I think Cosmic Crisp or Envy.)

Enjoyed very much the vivid street #murals in Reykjavík, #iceland. The ravens are a Viking symbol; Odin had one on each shoulder and they would circle the earth in opposite directions to keep him informed. I'm sure there's plenty more #symbology in the others, but it's cryptic to me.

If a punk rocker selling pasta sauce isn't a creative example of Brand Extension then IDK what is. #entrepreneurship #marketing

Package design award of the day goes to “P*rn” in #Iceland, “Passion Fruit & Vodka”

Not going to cry over this. (On the floor is the "Job loss due to AI". Still in the container is "Opportunity".)

I adore the original by William Carlos Williams, and this tickles me in just the same way - especially in light of my role at @ithistory.org

Three years ago today I founded LONO Audio. With partners Andrew Lindsay Cohen, Cary Miller, and Ahmet Zappa, we built the most beautiful software for vintage catalog restorations. Special thanks to Pat Kraus and Kevin Reeves at Universal! I wish the team tremendous success, but today we part ways.

Say what you will about Andrew Carnegie and his sins as an industrialist... I'm grateful as a music lover that he made this tremendous contribution to the world in his later years. Fun fact: it was his wife who insisted he add the upper tiers to ensure affordable tickets for people of all incomes.

As part of our ongoing initiative to recognize Unsung Heroes, the ITHS Honor Roll recently added 181 women in computing — sourced from the WITI Hall of Fame, IEEE, ACM, and Wikipedia. Explore their accomplishments at www.ithistory.org/honorees?gen... #WomenInTech #ComputingHistory #ITHistory

The frequency of Anthropic's updates is astonishing. Many of them seem significant, too. This isn't just pushing every test version out to prod; it seems like legit lightspeed product evolution.

Let me just state once and clearly for the record, I do not “shoot” emails.

For my NYC fam, this is amazing: zoom in on this 1990s Sim-style isometric map, and find your home or favorite landmarks! cannoneyed.com/isometric-ny...

I’m at a startup pitch event and just heard someone pronounce “CAGR” (compound annual growth rate) as “Kegger”. To be fair, a lot of tech bros do enjoy a good kegger.

Thankful for old friends, like my Electronic Music buddies from Bennington College who showed up at reunion this year to remake our photo from 33 years ago. Our love for great sounds has only grown, even if our sense of hair and fashion has not. #OldFriends #College #Emusic

TED just announced a new CEO. The conference has been a big part of my life since I started attending in 1997... Also my Mom married someone she met at TED2002, and in 2014 I started producing TEDx talks (tedtalks.aaronsylvan.com). I wish #TED tremendous success in this new transition!

We renewed our right to complain. #VOTE

Once upon a time, social media was a way to share what I’m up to, with friends and family who might like to follow along. And I could have some awareness of their news, joys, and challenges too. Then it became something else. I hope BlueSky will be a fresh start!
