I swear the worst UX in modern apps is this thing that Instagram does on app-open where it shows you a photo/video (cached?) and then *immediately takes it away* to show you a different piece of content. It's so jarring, and impossible to find that thing you were just looking at.

I like to build things (@HopscotchLabs_, @Foursquare, @StreetFC, @StockadeFC). Husband to @Chelsa, dada x3 ๐ง๐ผ๐ง๐ผ๐ถ๐ผ. I enjoy snowboards, soccer & hot dogs.
- I really wish that when you bought a physical book off Amazon, the Kindle version was available to you for free. I really donโt understand this.
- MacOS needs a setting that says "never-ever, under no circumstances ever, launch the Apple Mail, Apple Calendar or Apple Maps app"
- Turned on debate, and turned it off when I realized @AndrewYang wasnโt it in. Not that Iโm all-in on Yang, but heโs certainly the most interesting candidate to watch and listen to. I feel like Iโve already heard what everyone else has said to say ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
- I tweeted something random about @AndrewYang last night and it ended up being my best performing tweet of all time (500 RTs! 100+ replies! WTF!) Sir you have some crazy fans.
- Watching @BetoORourke on last nightโs Cobert Late Show. Heโs awesome, I hope he wins, I hope we never have to hear from Ted Cruz ever again, and I hope future politics sounds / acts / inspires as much as this guy.
- Good morning! Just wanted to share that my 2yo son took his diaper off last night, took his ๐ฉ out, plugged the fan *into his poop*, pushed his poo into the electrical socket, and then smeared it all over the walls and furniture and windows! How is your morning going? #7:13am
- Amazon Alexa is down so we can't turn our lights off. That's a new one.
- Iโm sorry but $50 bucks for 4 tests two years into this thing (and you gotta hunt em down like Cabbage Patch Kids) is fucking insane.
- Just found this screenshot of Uber from 2011 on my iPhone โย 4 cars in all of NYC! (and no, that's not my address)
- After 12+ yrs, Iโm stepping back from Foursquare (tho Iโll remain on the Board). FSQ has been the best job Iโve ever had, with the best people Iโve ever worked with. Huge thx to our team, investors, partners, superusers & fans. Much love & #GoFoursquareGo!
- This is the 13yo who won the silver-medal in Olympic Skateboarding. ๐ง๐ท (Tony Hawk tweeted this 6 years ago btw... she was 7yo? wow!)I don't know anything about this but it's awesome: a fairytale heelflip in Brazil by #RayssaLeal (via @oliverbarton)
00:00 - Some of this Zuck testimony sounds a lot like me providing technical support to my relatives over Thanksgiving.
- After leaving FSQ, my COBRA health insurance cost is now $3000/mo or $36,000/year. That is bananatown.
