I have two things to share with you today. First, we're starting a publishing company. Second, I wrote a book about computing, which you can preorder starting today!

We had a lot of fun thinking about this cover, but one of my favorite things when working with artists is to just let them go wild with something they want to create. That's what we did here, and Owen knocked it out of the park. Love his choices of color, scene, etc.

Some news to share today: Earlier this year, we started our publishing company and released our first title, Bootstrapping Computing. The full-color paperback is available for preorder now, and will be released on December 1.

11 years ago, we launched a product that let you use random, unique email addresses for each sender (now common!) We signed up for tons of big co's newsletters to see who we'd catch selling your email address. Only one truly big co did it, and they did it nonstop: NYT.

In general, tech is not biased the way art is. A tool that amplifies human capability amplifies all of it — the good and the bad. Live Photos are an exception, and a wonderful one at that.

There are a sophisticated set of enabling technologies, but the feature’s goal was incredibly simple: to capture the vitality of the world around us. The Live Photo patent has a picture of my daughter as a toddler spinning in a dress in front of our house. As with a Live Photo,…
