The Belgian political party Open VLD has rebranded itself as “Anders,” which means "Different" in Dutch. They also have a new logo that is, well, different from the old one. But it’s not *different*. In fact, a circle is the most indifferent shape imaginable. Perhaps that makes it different? #confused 😵‍💫

Google Gemini Pro can analyze an audio file for pronunciation mistakes, and provide extremely accurate feedback. This is magical.

De Lijn goes Minority Report in the Antwerp subway. Smart information points at Diamant and Opera now display real-time updates, signage, and (interactive?) station maps. Curious to see it in-person. I hope they considered #accessibility! 🙏

Just for fun, Claude and I (well, mostly Claude) built a small CLI tool that displays basic information about your Schokz wireless headset. It took us around 30 minutes. You can install it via Homebrew and it works like a charm.

I have installed macOS 26 in a virtual machine. I find Liquid Glass to be unnecessary, but I will get used to it

But, these comically large border radii on the windows are just… weird. They are so big that you can resize the windows by clicking and dragging from the empty space outside the radii.
