A rectangle drawn over roughly downtown Halifax.
An image highlighting the discontinuity caused by the current sidebar design in Tahoe. There's an obvious divide between the main window area and the sidebar, and then then actual sidebar (in a different colour) is layered on top. It creates a strange gap between the area where the sidebar lives and the actual sidebar content.
A capture of Forza Horizon 6 gameplay. A car drives down road in rural Japan near the sea, then suddenly veers off over a small embankment and falls through the world geometry for about 5 seconds before respawning on the road.
A screenshot of Yahoo! Finance showing S&P 500 Futures data. The price has risen sharply starting around 05:00 ET based on news of an Iran peace deal.

A screenshot of the host of Megarace. A thin man in an oversized blue sports jacked with a shiny red button-up shirt and purple tie on. His mouth is wide, shouting. His eyes crazed. What a legend.
A screenshot of a blank window corner in macOS Tahoe 26.4. A mouse pointer is showing the window resize icon, and the cursor is positioned well inside the window. You can also see that the scrollbar is all the way at the bottom, but the bottom is above the corner radius. This means that it's no longer showing under the window corner as in previous versions.
A screenshot of the Search element in macOS 26.4. In previous versions of the 26 OSs, the "Search" text in that element would be a blurry mess because it's currently overlapping other text below it. Here it's very readable.
A screen capture of a Safari tab in macOS 26.4 being manipulated. It's first "torn off" and then moved around, showing its new Liquid Glass effect.
A screenshot of the Safari in iPadOS 26.4 showing a PDF of the rules to the board game "Innovation" (4th edition). The top UI has a clear but blurred background instead of the usual mostly opaque background. This seems to only happen when viewing PDFs, and only on iPadOS.
A screen recording of Safari in iPadOS 26.4. I'm swiping backward through my history of blank pages with white and black backgrounds. Often, when I get to a white background page, the top UI is completely white until I tap somewhere on the screen. Once I tap, it goes back to displaying dark mode as configured.
A screen recording of Safari on iOS 26.4. A site with dark content on a white background is shown. The dark area contains filler "Lorim Ipsum" text. As the text is scrolled up, the bottom Safari UI is enlarged, but with a large white "fringe" that overlays and hides the text.
A short screen capture showing a white page in Safari. As I scroll up and down, parts of the Safari UI (mostly the URL bar) change between dark and light quickly. At the end, you can see that two shades of dark mode are shown intermittently.
A photo of a plate of chicken and leak pie with chips from The Henry House in Halifax, NS.
Tim Cook's signature, which looks a lot like "Jin Coole".
A screenshot of four overlapping windows in macOS Tahoe. At the top is Safari with the massive window corners that most Apple app have. Second is Google Chrome, which has a slightly smaller corner that I haven't seen other apps use. Then is Outlook with a slightly smaller corner, and finally a Photoshop image window with the smallest corner — but one that's still slightly larger than it was before Tahoe. Red lines denote where the corners end.
A screenshot of the bottom of Apple Music on macOS Tahoe. If you mouse over the play UI (which is at the bottom no for no good reason than I can figure), everything gets blurred. Once you do that, you get to see the playtime. I can't imagine any reason you might want to see that otherwise. Anyway, once you're in this view, everything else is blurred such that you can't make it out. The person who designed this hasn't used this app before, and is likely an intergalactic alien who is here to degrade the happiness of everyone living on this planet.
A screenshot of a blank Safari window in macOS Tahoe. The title bar includes a Liquid Glass blob containing 13 flat buttons.
A screenshot of six windows stacked on top of each other in macOS Tahoe. The image shows the top-left corner of each window. There are three different sizes of window radius shown.
A video of iPadOS 26 running in the simulator. The video shows the lower left hand corner of the iPad and a blank white window. The window is dragged toward the corner of the device and away several times. As the window gets close to the corner, the corner shrinks so it will match the inner-radius of the device, which is much smaller than the outer one. The smaller radius looks much better than the larger one, I think.
Another screenshot of the Simulator running iOS 26. This time a page is shown with content scrolling under the status bar at the top of the phone. The content is made slightly less opaque, but is still very legible. It makes reading the contents of the status bar difficult.
A video of the Simulator app showing an iPhone running Safari. The user is swiping between blank pages with dark and light backgrounds. The Liquid Glass UI elements at the bottom sometimes get partially confused about whether they should be dark or light. The UI also blink back and forth before deciding. Clicking the background seems to fix the issue.
The Software Update screen in macOS Sequoia 15.7.3. The screen shows that an update to macOS Tahoe 26.2 is available.
A cropped image of a set of eight icons on an iPhone home screen. All the icons have a black background except for the new Bluesky icon, which is has a bright blue background.
A screenshot of the "New or updated Bluesky users" feed on bskycheck.com with the user "@deadboizxc.bluesky.deadboizxc.org" have a future time for their sign-up, keeping them at the top of the list.
The new OneDrive icon for macOS. It's like a three-layer blue cloud one a white background. The lightest layer of blue is in front, with the darkest layer in the back. There some drop-shadow between the layers, but none between the icon and the white background.
An image found in the middle of the Notepad newsletter by Tom Warren. It looks like an interstitial ad, but clicking it takes you to the Wikipedia page for Limonene. It shows an image of a balloon being popped by a dart on the left. On the right there's text that reads: Limonene, a compound found in orange peels, can pop a balloon based on the "like dissolves like" principle Free Wikipedia content Below the image is the text "Recommended by J"
A screenshot of Bluesky's web UI on the page for Polygon.com's user account. Under their user icon and the word "Polygon" is an error message saying "Invalid Handle".
A 1972 VW Beatle in a psychedelic rainbow wrap. The rear tires are much larger than the front. It's being shown off in a well-lit garage.
A screenshot showing a number of articles from The Coast dated July 1, but that newly appeared in my RSS feed.

An excerpt of Evil Gao Qiu bio from the manual for Bandit Kings of Ancient China. It includes the following text: “Especially skilled at games, he earned the nickname the Ball Kicker. One day he happened to meet Prince Tuan, who was so impressed with Gao's ball kicking skill that he made him into a servant.”
Danny O'Dwyer finds his F1 history book under a copy Quake III for the Dreamcast. References to Orbb and the US constitution are made before he stumbles over a very German name.
A print magazine from The Verge with a dust jacket that reads "The Verge Guide to Search Engine Optimization". The jacket shows a happy-looking person with a coffee in front of a keyboard, mouse, and CRT display. There's a bit of text at the top which reads "All the Tips, Tricks, Schemes, and Techniques for Promoting High-Quality Content!"

A display of Nando's peri-peri sauce on display in a Sobeys. The photo was taken in August 2019, and the sauces cost $6.99 Canadian dollars at the time.
Two versions of the same screenshot. On top is an icon with a wrench on top of a front-view of a car. The icon is beside the text "Speedy Glass", which is a local auto glass repair shop. However, the wrench in the icon sort of looks like pained eyes, and the bottom looks like a mouth agape in sorrow. In the bottom version of the screenshot, I painted the eyes and mouth to make this more obvious.
A screenshot of the Techmeme site. The first post in Top News is about the latest WordPress drama, and it includes a link to my latest blog post.
A screenshot of The Verge's comment section slide-over from a desktop Safari window. The text "Network error. Please refresh your page and try again." is shown in a red error box twice.
An image of Woody the Talking Christmas Tree. Woody is a tall, conical, artificial tree with a nightmare-inducing face on the front. The face is sort of gnomish, maybe? Very rounded with massive cheeks and a mechanically controlled mouth.
A screenshot of Twitter.com from October 19, 2011. There is a custom background and custom colour theme applied to the site. The top post is from me, saying "ShipsStartHere thanks you for all your support and showing Canada we're built to build! #shipsstarthere".
