First time I can remember where I've pre-purchased tickets to two movies on the same opening weekend.

I worked a little on this film and I'm excited for it be out in the universe. It's a good one. 🥰🥰🥰 https://twitter.com/20thcentury/status/1680834724670078978

Don't get me wrong, Discovery has a place in my heart for entertaining me much over the years, but watching a weird Shark Week ad in front of my Sunday night HBO just doesn't seem right.

This is a Threads App fan account now. See you over there. I'm "jaxzin" everywhere I can be, or "jaxzin78" if that's not available for some reason.

7 years at Lucasfilm today. I’ve lost count of “pinch me” projects, but these stand out: a Disney attraction, a VR launch title, a PlayStation game, a Star Wars movie, the first Star Wars TV show, and a Marvel movie. I’m incredibly grateful I get to fulfill my childhood dreams

I know I’m biased but I also had little to do with making it so I want to say…Dial of Destiny was wonderful. I loved the story that was told and especially how it was told. One last ride with Harrison as #IndianaJones.❤️❤️❤️

Strange New Worlds getting me teary two episodes in a row. This season is already so brilliant. #StarTrek

I’ve lost count at the number of times I’ve opened a non-functioning Apollo this evening. 😢

Friends. #yodafountain #StarWars #Lucasfilm

I love the clear correlation I can make that running my HVAC improves my air quality in my office thanks to the home data collection I can do with @googlenest and my @esphome_ VOC gas sensor and particulate sensor, and their integration with @homeassistant, @InfluxDB & @grafana

18 hours of work. It was worth it. #bbq #brisket #cooking

I am cisgender. It’s not a slur, it’s a fact.

Figured out how to use the `integral` function in @InfluxDB Flux queries to turn my solar power into an estimate of total energy. This calculated data matches the stats in the @Tesla app, so I think I nailed it! My understanding of Calculus paying off in the real world! #math

100+ hours in and I just realized the falling rocks are there for me to use Recall and ride them back up to the islands in the sky. #zelda📷 #totk #gaming

The last week as measured by my office air quality sensor. It was rough but DIY air filters helped!

DIY air filter in my office is way more effective than I expected. The room still isn’t dropping to healthy levels but it’s an improvement.

Gaze pinching an IRL thing will definitely be a mistake my brain makes someday, like the times I’ve tried to thumb scroll a paper book.

One of the many reasons I have a lot of faith the Apple Vision Pro will be something different, ARKit was first released for iOS 11 in 2017. I imagine it was in development for years before that. They've been building the software toward this device for a very long time.

Umm, someone set the skylight to the wrong color temperature in Connecticut.

Rewatching Super 8 and it’s a shame this cast of child actors aren’t all as celebrated as the kids from Stranger Things. The talent is incredible. Of course Elle Fanning is the standout and has gotten the recognition.

I try not to be an Apple apologist, so I feel justified in pointing out the specs of a Macbook Pro vs the specs of a Vision Pro to compare the prices and that it's positioned to compete with laptops and not other HMDs. But we'll find out in time if this tweet is foolish.

Definitely seeing some variants of "No wireless. Less space than a nomad" reactions today. 🤣

Well, time to start saving up for another HMD for my collection! I've been so happy with my Quest 2 over the years, so I can see the Quest 3 will likely replace it in my day-to-day because of the improved specs and the fact it will probably be a drop-in replacement.

Characterizing remote workers as lazy is ironic. I genuinely would love a breakdown of this VC/C-suite's productivity over the years. "I'm grinding every hour of the day"...sure you are, Chad, sure you are. https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1663998194504847360

Got my 72 yr old Dad setup with a Steam account so my parents can buy and play Firmament on the new MacBook M2 he just got. Xbox controller + AirPlay and my Mom is playing it on their big screen TV. They were both huge Myst/Riven fans. I love everything about this. ❤️❤️❤️

I propose we need the same kind of digital locker for games that movies have. I understand better than most that releasing the same game on different platforms is a different level of investment than releasing a digital video on different platforms. I still said what I said.

I was unhappy with how long the image stacking apps I was using to create a star trail image were taking last night, given that I need to extract all the frames to separate files, import them, etc. 27,000 frames for 30 minutes of video was untenable.

Being woken at 4:30am by a beep you can’t find suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. It was not a smoke detector. It was not a UPS backup power supply. It was not my NAS. It was a base station for my cheap weather station that showed no sign of being in an alarm state. 😡 It’s now 5:15am.
