The puns I have saved you from
I do this ...a lot
I feel like I should get some kind of credit or points for writing out a whole post and then deciding against it and hitting cancel. No drafts, no nothing. Just putting it out there for likes from the universe instead of my followers.
Well there goes my afternoon: I will be playing Watch Face Designer for Wear OS. It's a plugin for Figma that lets you craft watch faces right there and then export directly to Android Studio, to an APK, or even view directly on your device. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/intr...
Android 16 statue specs and features 🤓
Hey look it's the new Android statue!
When I learned that the new Pixel 10 phones all support magnetic accessories and wireless charging without a case, I knew exactly what to do... www.youtube.com/shorts/eeGmD...
Whoa am I first in line for Made by Google? Nice! 😎 There is only a little under 19 hours to go... hm wait where is everybody?
well well well youtube.com/shorts/9E2MY...
Oh no same
The Zebra Bananza is the song of the summer. An all timer
Okay cleaning next set of tires and yes having to clear out old goo every year or so is annoying for sure, but also I had this itty bitty nail in my tire and had no idea so tubeless is good.
Wait this is good
Road. Lower pressure makes for a nicer ride, but for me I like that I can fix flats with a quick plug. But setup is not fun.
Also, does anybody have a mnemonic for remembering whether the chain gets threaded inside or outside of that stupid little tab on the derailleur because I get it wrong the first time every time
Bought a cheap air compressor to help seat recalcitrant tubeless tires and I will only use it a couple times a year and what makes me truly angry is I didn't get it a long time ago.
To be fair I am pretty confident I was saying that you needed a rock solid plan to get those three things whenever you needed them as a bare minimum. Always have line of sight to them, no matter what.
Love seeing the reactions to the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. I've been blown away myself too - so thin and so LIGHT! www.androidpolice.com/samsung-gala...
if you click the notification bell next to my profile you'll get a push notification when it's Friday, like today is.
New plan: do things I have been procrastinating to procrastinate other things I have been procrastinating.
Just in time for summer, Poolsuite is available as an Android app!! The vibes remain 🌝 immaculate 🌝 play.google.com/store/apps/d...
Hell yeah San Francisco

Wind Waker
And it's only Friday
By the way, I hope you are having a pleasant Friday.
This is self care
You're maybe wondering why I haven't been as online as I used to be lately and the honest answer is that I have a new rule to help with my attention: I only let myself post on Fridays now, like today.
The time to enact my clever plan to get to the top of your quiet posters feed has finally come.
Not made of sugar.

3. Because of their history with the Vikings, both justice and karma require that they too participate in the cycle of hubris and suffering, hope and failure. Skol Eagles.
Just converted the Midnight Special to Flat Bars and went back to the 650B wheels. It's fun!
Yeah I am a dummy sometimes. Skeets but editable
Doh! Thanks
Android 16 Beta! Personally very excited for the changes coming for Android apps on larger screen sizes like tablets and foldables. :) android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/01/firs...
Some really strong old school blogging energy around Galaxy S25 Edge 😁
Gemini now always easily available with a simple long press of the power button. It can work directly with multiple apps. And of course you can go to Gemini Live for real time conversations
Soon! Samsung Galaxy Unpacked starts at 10am PT.
Okay this is my fault
Skol Lions
They viked.
CES was fun. Getting covid there less so.
Update (20 months later): this is now live: bsky.app/profile/chat...
Hell yeah
Happy Friday Dan
Happy five year anniversary to the hardest I've ever been owned on social media. x.com/GabrielBrang...
Wow that's snotty
Workshopping a Sudafed joke about congestion pricing. May use the word "phlegmatic" to describe the discourse. Going to be so good.
I'm going to CES and my number one goal is to find out if they've fixed the lint traps on combo heat pump washer dryers.
Good morning happy Monday welcome back now do you see why I told you to close all those tabs before the holidays? What even are they? Why did you think you needed them? new year new you new tabs new year new you new tabs new year new you new tabs new year new you new tabs new year new you new tabs
Vikings gonna Vike, but this is not that. It comes only when there is no further hope, when it is truly the last chance for redemption and joy. Then and only then shall ye be abased before the cruel and inevitable failure you should never have believed you could avoid. This is not yet the true Vike
Vikings having iffy kicking at the end of the season when it really matters, you say?
Gutted that I didn't think to watch this with the niece and nephew over Christmas. youtu.be/guE0Qd8BRw0?...
I am grumbly about some aspects of this regulation but on the whole it's better than nothing. I mean could you imagine allowing heavy, potentially dangerous vehicles on city streets without laws regulating their maximum speed and throttle capabilities? 🫠🫠🛻🛻 electrek.co/2025/01/01/s...
Americans are ~2.5x more likely to die in a crash than a Canadian, ~3.5x more likely than a Spaniard, and ~5x more likely than a Japanese person. Here are a few of the articles I wrote in 2024 trying to understand why the US is uniquely terrible at road safety. 🧵
Gonna bring this "I don't know what day it is and I don't think there's any way to find out" energy into all of 2025.
Right?
You can see the Big Dipper from Hyrule. Is it the same Big Dipper as ours? Is Hyrule on Earth? Tell me @zeltik.bsky.social has done a full investigation please.
anyway happy friday
Do it. @lopatto.bsky.social is right. www.theverge.com/2023/7/7/237...
anyway happy friday
FYI if you have open tabs you have to go to work next week.
Good morning I've marked three tasks complete before 10am and I'm feeling it so does anybody need to a cat saved from a tree or something?
🤓😎
Tim.
Lol wait nobody lists width WITH mirrors
Sold
Petition for all cars to list their width with mirrors (extended and folded) prominently on the spec page. My garage is small. Like my lease is up next year and I want an EV and this number is actually way more important to me than the max range.
Look upon my touchdowns, ye Vikings fans, and despair.
and the new Pixel stuff, including lock screen widgets for Pixel Tablet: blog.google/products/pix...
Android and Pixel teams ending the year strong check out the Android updates, like new emoji kitchen combos: blog.google/products/and...
I'm already a daily user of Sill. It's a vital service and works beautifully, letting you see the most discussed stories from people you follow and their commentary on it. The most recent update supports filtering links from lists on Bluesky and Mastodon, super useful. Try it!
Used a lazy Sunday morning to turn a Samsung Galaxy Flip 6 into a #startrek tricorder! This is the “Trek: Total Interface” theme from @trek-apps running atop Total Launcher, with additional custom sounds using Automate (and a capsule label from the Star Trek Sticker Book).
Proud of the Vikings for overcoming adversity so well. It's so nice to see my team raise hopes so much. Having your dreams crushed in the playoffs is more enjoyable when they convince you it's possible to be happy in this life in the first place. But of course it's not. Skol Vikings.
It's December 1st. Which pocket do you put the mouse in? If you say 24 please unfollow me.

You know it's true love with an app when you find this toggle in the settings. TY @bsky.app
Gonna start a gadget resale service but only let sickos who keep the original box sell on it.
Every damn time I leave the damn house
Made a list to check before starting projects.
Bears gonna Vike
Halloween is a Thanksgiving movie.
thanksgiving is a holiday commemorating the time randy moss singlehandedly annihilated the dallas cowboys in 1998. it was actually celebrated for hundreds of years prior in anticipation of this prophesied holy event
In The Mouth Of Madness is a Thanksgiving movie.
Watch it with your whole family
Heavy Metal is a Thanksgiving movie.
Dark City is a Thanksgiving movie.
Okay what feeds are you using? Besides the default revchron I mean.
Also, drivers who say "have a nice day" instead of "have a nice flight" get five stars and an extra tip.
