Introduction – Acme Weather

Fifteen years ago, we started work on the Dark Sky weather app.

Over the years it went through numerous iterations — including more than one major redesign — as we worked our way through the process of learning what makes a great weather app. Eventually, in time, it was acquired by Apple, where the forecast and some core features were incorporated into Apple Weather.

We enjoyed our time at Apple. So why did we leave to start another weather company?

I’m not a weather app guy but there’s some very thoughtful work happening here.

Because They’re Kids

We’re six weeks into 2026, and there have already been six campus shootings this year, with five dead and three injured. I don’t want my daughter’s school on this list — but then, I don’t want ANY more schools on this list. It’s time to stop pretending this is ok.

What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis

I understand that spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis is not real perspective. But it brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.

“War” is the operative word here.

I need people not here to understand… There has been no “drawdown”, that was a ruse to get the news cycle to move along. This describes the conditions we are living under now.

I was not looking for a new RSS reader, and I have not downloaded and tried this one yet. Linking because I’m impressed with the thoughtfulness that was put into and the design with which it is presented. Good job.
