Just so you know, this is what my Twitter timeline looks like today. Are you sure spending your ad money here is really the best plan? Gross.

Portland folks! Next weekend (Oct 21-22) I’ll be exhibiting more than 100 vintage calculators from my collection! (All from 1968-1983.) If you’re in the area, are interested in design and vintage tech, DM me — I still have spots left for people to come and check it out.

Not to play favorites, but this week some of my favorite Playdate games are out: b360 and Ratcheteer. Both have soundtracks out on Bandcamp! First, there's b360, a game 40 years in the making…

How did we end up with two very good weird movies with strangely long titles and kaleidoscope posters at the same time? Is this a Volcano/Dante’s Peak situation?

First PhotoBooth, now Freeform! Apple has liked two of my app names so much they’ve taken them for themselves (my Freeform app has sadly not been for a sale for a long while now 😢) stuntsoftware.com/freeform/ #WWDC22

You know, you work on a thing for years, and sometimes you wonder if it was all worth it. And then sometimes, if you’re really lucky, you get to see clearly and without a doubt that it absolutely was.

In other news, after nearly 10 years at Panic, we recently bid farewell to our testing expert, Ashur. We miss him so much already.
But, this means we now have a rare job opening on the Playdate team for a Senior QA / Release Engineer.
Know anyone? panicinc.applytojob.com/apply/aVyJwpWz

🌌 We'll make a more formal announcement later, but Nova 9 is out! nova.app
It adds our biggest new feature since launch, Debugging. It was… a _lot_ of work, and it lays even more foundation for us to continue iterating and improving in future releases.

A "Python web services engineer with Django experience" sounds very made up to me, but regardless Panic is the best company I've ever worked for by an impossible margin so if that's somehow you: check it out

I cry a little tear of joy every time I adjust the volume or brightness on my new M1 MacBook Pro. It's just, right there. No more moving non-tactile pictures of buttons. I appreciated the touch bar experiment, I am very glad to be back in button town.
