Today, I start a new chapter. I will be joining Snapchat to start and lead a new function as Head of AR Developer Relations. I'm excited and energized to get going. I believe in the future of augmented reality (AR) and blessed to get a front row seat to help drive innovation.

So US officials say the reason they have not taken any action against the Russian hot air spy balloon is because “right now we assess that there is no physical threat or military threat to people on the ground”. The question I have is this. Should it pose a threat first?

You will need at least 2 phones. 1 phone for the controller and the other phone to drive the robot. Since there is no bluetooth in Lens Studio yet, I had to improvise. I used 2 photoresistor sensors which allows the robot to detect commands on the screen 👀 👇🏾

It’s getting close to EOD for me! With 30 mins to spare, I will just test Snap lenses from our developers for the Lensathon. I always look forward to this moment!

Max and I build something for the @SnapAR hackathon. A persistent, time-based farming game where you have to physically work for your selfie unlockables. @maksvanleeuwen

I think kids are made to be adorable just so parents will once in a while, forget how expensive they are. Each “awwww moment” costs $500 if you actually do the math. Now I keep my “awww” to myself and smile at the cost of $150.

Alabama can’t claim him. They benched him and he went to Oklahoma to further develop as a more polished QB under Lincoln Riley.

This is lame. 1 play may help define a game, but you play the game for 4 quarters with countless of opportunities and plays to beat your opponent. It’s a culmination of so many plays! Don’t berate your teammate after a mistake.

What was the last play by the Cowboys? Dak was suppose to go out there, get the ball 🏈 back and throw it deep?

The Bills are slowing becoming the “regular season” team. They seem not be able to get over the hump in the post season. Their window of a chip is closing up slowly.

Arsenal’s strength is in their transitions from defense to offense. It’s a quick transition and they move the ball before you could react. My suggestion is for United to play 2 CDMs to slow that quick transition down.

Come on, do NFL teams need the Commanders to beat the Eagles in the playoffs for them. Simply make their offense 1 dimensional.
