Apple Vision Pro doesn't have anything I really need, just everything I want. They're the coolest goggles on the planet.

While hot takes about the price, the returns, the meaning of this moment continue to light up our news feed, I’m still integrating the 3 days I spent with The Vision Pro.

Using Apple's spatial computer for the first time consumed me with intense, satisfying, emotional connections between software place and time.

So after all my excitement why did I return it? The answer might surprise you.

February 12th was Zero to Start's 4 year anniversary. Thanks to all our listeners in over 44 countries!
