BlueSky Weeknd

This past weekend many of us fell into the BlueSky rabbit hole. I joined BlueSky back in July 2023, and it kind of sat on my iPhone waiting for people to post. I'd occasionally remember to cross-post along with Twitter, Mastodon and Threads. BlueSky was pretty much an afterthought.
​
Then at the beginning of November, I started getting new followers en masse. During the first Sunday, the flood gates opened when I previously had around 100 followers. Today I have over 760 followers, as I write this on Mon Nov 18, 2023. Is that 600% increase?
​
One of the cool things on BlueSky is how you can follow lists and find Starter Packs, which are compiled lists of people to follow, in relevant or similar interests. I started a visionOS Starter Pack (DM me if you want to be added.)

There are also a couple of Apple Developer Starter Packs:

• Apple Developers I go.bsky.app/66G7TY4
• Apple Developers II go.bsky.app/M8xLgeS​

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Weeknd!​
This weekend we also got the new Vision Pro music video from Canada's own The Weeknd: The Weeknd: Open Hearts. It is an immersive experience video designed to be viewed on the Vision Pro.
​
“Apple Immersive Video brings The Weeknd’s creative vision to life in an entirely new way with Open Hearts, a groundbreaking music experience available only on Apple Vision Pro,” said Tor Myhren, Apple’s vice president of Marketing Communications. “With Vision Pro, fans experience storytelling in ways that were not possible before: with immersive visuals and Spatial Audio that make them feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. This is an exciting leap forward in how music and technology come together to deliver memorable experiences for fans, and we’re proud to collaborate with The Weeknd to make it happen.”
