2024 Was One For the Books

It’s Top Nine time over on Instagram, so it’s also Top Nine time here on the blog.

Top Nine 2024

Here’s my year, boiled down to nine images:

  1. The Vision Pro box & my original Macintosh, which turned 40 this year.
  2. Myke and I were given St. Jude’s Creator Achievement Award. Our community raised over $1 million in support of St. Jude this year.
  3. Merri and marked our 17th anniversary this year. That photo is from our wedding day in 2007. Sometimes I think about re-piercing my ears.
  4. This summer, we celebrated Relay’s 10th anniversary with a live show in London.
  5. A photo of my Tacoma and mountain bike, taken on my sabbatical in October.
  6. A comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the original model from 2007.
  7. The photo used at the top of my Vision Pro review on 512 Pixels.
  8. Another classic photo, this time from 2004. I had a lot of hair in high school.
  9. I was in San Jose for WWDC this summer and the town is overrun with Tesla Cybertrucks. This one was parked in a compact spot.

The Vision Pro taking two slots of this grid is pretty funny. It proved to be much more popular on Instagram than it has been in my life.
