This weeks is .

In 1963, Doug Langdon found a partial skeleton near the Thomson River not too far from the town of Muttaburra. It was collected by Dr Alan Bartholomai and entomologist Edward Dahms.

I was prepared slowly and carefully over the following years. In 1981, Bartholomai and Ralph Molnar named it Muttaburrasaurus Langdoni, after the town, and person who found it.

In 2022 Muttaburrasaurus was named the State Fossil Emblem of Queensland.

This week for we have another that .

This one I would rate as fairly easy. Its an Australian Dinosaur I plan on seeing today at the Queensland Museum

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

This was designed by me, instructions in my future lego book (if its ever released)

@TheDinosaurDave pretty sure that's a Sauropod, and therefore... I think I am going with Brontosaurus on this one! 🦕

@glennf we’ve heard of tactical camouflage, and urban camouflage; but, by golly Glenn I think you’ve discovered museum-grade camouflage!! 🤣

This week for we have another that .

This one I would rate as fairly easy. This large marine reptile is one of the earliest found in the USA.

The body was designed by The Blobfish for lego ideas with the head redesigned by me to be more accurate.

@TheDinosaurDave think I am going to go with PLATECARPUS...

I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to try Vision Pro this week. The experience was overwhelming in the best possible way. I'm still collecting my thoughts for a longer Design Diary post, but it was so transformative that I'm finding it hard to put the experience into words.

As I work on that, I wanted to ask for any questions folks had with regards to using it and more generally for the platform from a developer/designer perspective. I'll do my best to answer to them.

@_Davidsmith you probably won’t have this information yet, but I keep wondering if the Vision Pro will interact with the Apple Watch hardware similar to how in the keynote demo it “syncs” with a Mac when you look at a MacBook Pro for example?

Would be so cool to be wearing the Vision Pro and look at your Apple Watch, and some special informatics or UX happens in the spatial view! Any chance this was mentioned or demoed in the hands-on?

One of my all-time favorite background tracks for uninterrupted thinking/notthinking time: Thursday Afternoon, by Brian Eno. I imagine that if the bokeh effect in photography had a soundtrack, it would be this.

@briankrebs if you are in the market for more great ambient “thinking music”, I recommend:

Now that macOS 14 and iOS 17 will support interactive widgets, what would you want? Any creative ideas? (Other than the obvious like checking off tasks/lists)

@exkclamation@mastodon.social avatar

@sindresorhus it would be nice to have a quick mood entry widget. Like a colorful mood ring of sorts? Not sure if that is possible, but something easy access to tie into the new health details?

@exkclamation@mastodon.social avatar

@sindresorhus what if there was an ultra-quick Apple TV remote widget? Play/pause menu mute?

Holy cow! I knew the PAC Man set was cool but I didn’t know it was this cool. It’s animated, lights up and has a mini build inside!! Amazing!

This week for we have another that .

This one I would rate as medium difficulty. Its obviously a ceratopsian, and its name starts with a Z

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

The body was designed by Kongzilla with the head designed by me to be a new species.

@TheDinosaurDave has to be Zuniceratops, but i am second guessing myself because the horns, eyes, and snout shape. (Although, seems more likely from limitations of the LEGO medium.)

Loving that little upturned bottom jaw detail!
