Let’s pour one out for Sears in Shoreline, WA. I did two stints there before college. Opened in 1967, it was a massive building that was far bigger than the portion that was open to the public by the time I got there. www.shorelineareanews.com/2026/09/s…

Update on Hurricane Lowell
We got through Hurricane Lowell safely. Power remains out. 80% of the island is without power. Communication is spotty. Weather is breezy, but we have beautiful blue skies again! I am on a flight to Maui in the late morning, and Kayla’s got a flight to Oahu before me, and from those places we will catch our connections to Seattle. The hurricane was WILD. I have never witnessed the supreme power of nature in such a manner before. It was certainly something to behold. A very potent experience which was thoroughly seen, heard, and felt. And that was only a Category 2 — and not even the worst part of that: other parts of the island facing the hurricane got hit much harder than Kapa’a. Could go for another Kenji Burger! 🍔
-
We’re in the most intense part of the storm now. Power is out, batteries are charged up, and devices are in power conservation mode. Provisions are secure. It sure is windy here! 🌀
-
We’re on the 3rd floor of our resort on the east side of Kaua’i facing away from the hurricane, so hopefully it will be fine today! You can see some flash flooding in this video I recorded about an hour ago. I’ve got a ham radio and a shortwave with me in case comms go out, and we have provisions.
-
Hurricane Lowell’s path did shift closer to us on Kaua’i overnight. My understanding that it is a Category 3 storm as of right now. Fortunately we are on the far side of the island not facing the storm. It is currently very rainy and windy here and we expect today to be a day to hunker down inside.

John Ternus is the new CEO of Apple. Instead of hoping and wishing for idealistic things from them, my plea is that we take it upon ourselves to push back against broader efforts that have been made to manipulate people against their own interests, to sow division, and to devalue human expression.

I used to run Star Trek: The Screen Saver on my computer back in the 90s. Glad that we have a way to run it again! Been waiting excitedly for this one. morphing.cloud/afterglow…

Apparently, there’s an event called TorchCon in China, and it’s a whole ass convention about Torchlight’s current incarnation. It’s already been held twice, and this is the first I’ve ever heard of it. Bizarre to read about zombie derivations of this game we poured so much of our lives into. 🥃

Smart glasses are a perfect example of a smart-assed device. Can we please solve sunglasses first before we try to monetize my ability to see?
-
In light of Apple reportedly ending Vision Pro development, I’m gonna toss a product idea out there: I don’t want smart glasses. I want glasses with an e-ink display that lets me turn them into sunglasses at the tap of a button on the frame. Full stop. No shitty transitions. That’s the product. 🕶️

Something has gone terribly wrong with the Mariners. This is painful.

Even if Emerson didn’t disclose the injury’s severity, we can all understand why he was trying to tough it out. He’s a rookie for gosh sakes and they piled on the pressure. www.si.com/mlb/marin…

Well this is some shitty news, @mariners! sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seatt…

Adam Ragusea zoomed so far out on the Hank Green controversy that he caught onto something much bigger and more interesting about this moment in time:

Primary elections are today. When I filled out my ballot, the thought in the back of my head was to try to responsibly vote out all incumbents, and to preference upstart leftists over Democratic Party loyalists. In practice, when it came to the courts, I didn’t feel like we had very good choices.

Lego announced a new Star Trek: TOS bridge set. Makes me think of those DOS adventure games, Judgment Rites and 25th Anniversary, that I played endlessly. Twelve-year-old me would have loved it: www.lego.com/en-us/pro…

Saw John Gruber’s post about Stacks, and I think it’s an awesome app. But I clicked through the link to the dev’s website, and it looks like he’s also working on an app called Afterglow that intends to resurrect After Dark modules on modern macOS: morphing.cloud/afterglow…
Uh, yes please!!
