@OmniFocus Any plans for an MCP server?

The only AI feature I want on my phone is one that can automatically switch me to my following feed when I launch it.

who wants to tell them that storytelling has always been part of the senior+ product design role? lol

It blows my mind they just abandoned absolute design fundamentals. I'm holding off that iOS upgrade in hopes it at least improves before I'm forced in to it.

Apple just threw out the rulebook with Liquid Glass. They really shouldn't have, especially as they were the ones who wrote it in the first place. #iOS #design

@modredcastleton That said, I’ve always kind of viewed Alien 3 in the same way as Mad Max 3… kind of alternate universe

I take the William Gibson script as canon where they both survive along with Bishop because otherwise - what is the bloody point for Ripley? She deserves not to lose someone, for once, and she found he new family. You can't just kill 'em off screen. I won't accept it.

Fun fact: .co domains are expensive to help ward off domain squatters and make them feel more prestigious. And nothing says prestige quite like constantly being asked if you meant .com or if you missed the .uk, by people and forms alike. 👍

Seeing a lot if AI hype saying designers in the future should all be vibe coding, shipping and supporting what they make. If you’ve ever tried to balance design and engineering at the same time, you’ll know why this is nightmare and how design time will be pushed out.

This Friday (24th Oct), we’re collaborating with Tokyo Game Bridge for our Community Link-Up event, an evening of networking and demos. #XR demos include: VR Ring Fit Shooting and Spatial Glass (details in the thread). Limited RSVPs still available: meetup.com/xrtokyo/events…

Visiting the TOKYO NODE “XR PARADE” in Toranomon Hills today and blown away by the creativity on display. Their summer hackathon has fostered some amazing #XR projects which are well worth checking out. It will be running until Fri 24th October. tokyonode.jp/lab/events/ope…

Diagnose with data. Treat with design. One is the yin and the other the yang. They follow each other in an infinite cycle. Data is the process of deeply understanding reality as it *is*. Design is the process of designing future reality as it *could be*.

My favourite recurring theme this #DesignMattersTokyo has really been the design leadership insights people have been sharing Even with all the talk of AI changing design, the big challenge in good design is the systems and collaborations we facilitate. And that’s entirely human

🎉 Design Matters Tokyo 25、ついに開幕！ 世界中から集まったデザイナーたちと一緒に、デザインの未来を探求する2日間がスタートしました✨ #designmatterstokyo #デザインカンファレンス

It’s Design Matters Tokyo 2025! It’s cool to be back for an annual injection of new ideas and perspectives from the design world. And I’ve already enjoyed some great conversations.

You know it’s been a hot summer when you check the temperature, see it’s 31c out and think “ah, some cooler weather at last”. #tokyo

Sometimes what seems like a trivial feature request from a customer, when you look into it actually shows itself to be symptomatic of a much deeper beast of an issue hiding away. Gotta validate those problems and connect those dots! #productdesign

Critical and systems thinking, always own these. #AI can help your productivity in a ton of ways but once you give it control of those things you've sold yourself out.

So if you're in #Tokyo, love space and want to try out a really cool shared #VR experience you can do with friends, this is perfect. It’s popular so try to get there for opening if you want to avoid the queue! #TeNQ_VR tokyo-dome.co.jp/tenq/

With the virtual camera photos in the experience, scanning your ticket QR code once you’re done gives you instant access to them. 📷 Here's the @xrtokyo_ event team on the moon.

Yesterday I visited Space Travelium TeNQ courtesy of @STYLY_APP to see The Moon Cruise experience they created for installation there. 🌒 It’s free roaming #VR, and so well designed and executed. Absolutely one of my all time favourite #XR experiences. Highly recommended!🧵
