George Daniel’s first solo release, “Screen Cleaner,” is so good. It is undeniably groovy and evokes the early 2000s techno/garage of Basement Jaxx.

Heroes of Hawaiian advocacy on Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea:

At just 11 years old, Ke Aliʻi Bernice Pauahi Bishop captured a pivotal moment in Hawaiian history. In her journal, she described the day in 1843 when Hawaiʻi’s sovereignty was restored after being usurped by English Captain George Paulet: “They pulled down the English flag and hoisted the Hawaiian flag and we were all rejoicing.”

As we celebrate Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea, it’s crucial to remember the wāhine aloha ‘āina (patriotic women) in history who fought for sovereignty and the preservation of the Hawaiian kingdom. These women’s contributions are not just historical footnotes; they are the foundation of ongoing Native Hawaiian advocacy.

I love the effort to bring back lānui Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian holidays, and historically accurate narratives about Hawaiʻi’s history, which was and is fraught with colonization.

I am loving the Comfort Zone Podcast. It is always nice to hear tech folks talk about how the feel of a thing can outweigh its technical aspects.

We went to the Bonsai Exhibition at Kaimukī Middle School today and these were just a few of the beauties on display. I just started with very minimal effort last year, but it is a really enjoyable hobby.

Robin Rendle — Be loud about the things you love:

A writing tip for myself in the future, if I may (and I do): delete every use of “…for me…,” “in my opinion,” “some might disagree,” “I think,” etc. etc. These snippets are a bad habit and make your writing fragile, lacking any conviction, with one eye always over your shoulder.

Yep yep yep!

Apple has reached its first-ever union contract with store employees in Maryland:

“By reaching a tentative agreement with Apple, we are giving our members a voice in their futures and a strong first step toward further gains,” the union’s negotiating committee said in a statement. “Together, we can build on this success in store after store.

This is an excellent first step! Hope their vote goes well and a contract quickly follows.

Here’s a little lo-fi remix for @TechConnectify@mas.to (original video).

We Need "AGI" More than Apple Intelligence! - Stager-to-Go:

Apple needs to resurrect HyperCard for the iPad, the freakin’ hardware built for the software that preceded it.

I love Gary Stager.
