#introductions Hello 👋 I'm Nathaniel or "Nate" (he/him).

I'm a Visual & UI #Designer in the #SanFrancisco #BayArea. I've always been artistic & a geek so a #design career was a obvious choice.

When I'm not working I'm #gaming 🎮 on PC/console, #drawing ✏️, frequenting #indiemusic pop/rock/alt concerts & exploring NorCal with my GF.

Life long #Apple enthusiast/hipster (I liked them before they were a juggernaut).

Long time Twitter user increasingly nervous about the direction of that platform.

What a tool… Glad he’s gone! #AjitPai

I’ve been half “disconnected” since Friday for a nice long weekend and visit to the coast. It’s been a very nice break.

Time to catch-up on work, Twitter, news, and other online connections.

Further stepping-up my at home coffee game with Simple Ratio for iPhone and a kitchen scale. #coffee https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simple-ratio/id1499370739

#StarTrekDiscovery S3 finale was better than expected.

I borderline disliked half of the season for being all melodrama or action with little nuance, and the new future tech stuff feels like nonsense without established rules.

I did really love E7 about Vulcan (aka Ni'Var) 🖖

I’m a bit late to watching #StarTrekLowerDecks but it’s sooo much smarter and more “Trek” than #StarTrekDiscovery. Quite unexpected.

I took a walk to clear my head. Time to ignore Twitter and try to get some work done.

When are the police going to teargas the f* out of these fascists?! #Capital https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNQRGohdW9Y

This long weekend was too short. Glad it’s another short work week for New Years!

Haha this is great if you’ve ever seen Neon Genesis Evangelion @mega64@twitter.com https://youtu.be/-H48GPv4BZI

Wow S2:E8

This is gross and pathetic of #Facebook https://www.macrumors.com/2020/12/16/facebook-takes-out-full-page-ads-to-attack-apple/

“Apple should let us keep harvesting ALL your data and tracking you to help small businesses 🥺”

Huge corporations like Amazon and Facebook are what compete with and hurt small businesses, not user #privacy online.

Haha Instagram’s “App Privacy” report on the App Store update takes a lot of scrolling... Yuck 🤮

#infosec #privacy #instagram #facebook

I updated to macOS 11.1 and purged Chrome yesterday. Not exactly scientific but my 16” MacBook Pro does actually seem more responsive than it’s been since I first got it…

Now I just wish I could do something about the 13 Adobe daemons.

Afterlife 🍸

Thanks to a birthday gift I’m finally going to retire my trusty wired 2006 Xbox 360 controller (now PC controller) 🎮 after 14’ish years of use.
