I just used Gmail's "undo send" for the first time today

Whatever @zoom_us did to make their iOS app work on a plane, I am impressed. Sounds totally fine and I'm on a conference call from 35,000 feet.

Spent the afternoon at the city permit office researching building codes and land use review. There's a lot of parallels between building codes and software specs.

Can you imagine if there was a similar permitting process for building websites and apps?

It's already been a year since #IndieAuth was published as a @W3C Note! Support from new services and some new plugins as well! https://aaronparecki.com/2019/01/23/22/indieauth

If you've ever needed a link to send someone to explain why OAuth secrets aren't safe in mobile apps, I made you a thing: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/22/oauth-api-keys-arent-safe-in-mobile-apps

tfw you watch @petermckinnon talk about how to make that vintage video look and you realize he is describing your first video camera hashtag when did I get so old

Remember when Palm Pilots had an IR transmitter and you could download a "universal remote" app and turn off any TV?

I need that right now to turn off this annoying TV in the hotel bar.

Do I know anyone going to NAMM this year?

I'm glad we've got USB-C now, but seriously someone needs to invent a reversible SD card. I still plug those things in backwards every time.

I made a video of my hot sauce recipe as a way to learn Adobe Premiere! This took way longer to make than I care to admit, hopefully only because I'm new to Premiere.

I happened to stumble across the recorded livestream of @tantek's IndieWeb talk at the Decentralized Web Summit, so today I extracted just his talk from the livestream and published it as a standalone video! 📺▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9FSPcmybT8 #dwebsummit #dweb

A pretty good step-by-step walkthrough of the @oauth2 PKCE flow by @afitnerd https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/12/13/oauth-2-for-native-and-mobile-apps

and yes it's pronounced "pixie"

Take 3 minutes to learn how OAuth access tokens are like a hotel keycard! 🔐💳

this redeye to JFK has tailwind so it's only 4.5 hours there and all the flight crew is excited but I'd rather have a longer flight to get more sleep

I like this new term "agenda gardening" instead of "agenda bashing." So much less unnecessary violence. #W3C

"It's hard to get everyone to agree on one design, until there are extenuating circumstances." - Jeff Hodges on spec design #w3c

This morning I gave a brief talk about IndieAuth at the @W3C Strong Authentication and Identity workshop. I just finished transcribing the recording and published the slides and video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeCNlB7v08I

Me, in Chicago: "what are all these little white flecks in the air?"

My brain, 2 seconds later: "Snow, it's snow."

Good to know it's not just me, the new Gmail really is slow. https://medium.com/@boriscoder/peeking-under-the-hood-of-redesigned-gmail-dd84b532e0f5

Also gotta love the author's use of Google's own tools to profile the performance of Gmail. If only the Google engineers would do the same.

My inbox is so full I can't even bring myself to start dealing with it.
