Zero-to-App-Store consultant; Adobe, Apple, eero, Planetary; ICU, manager, CEO, co-founder; patented and patentable; worked on Apple Vision Pro - ask me how it works!
Just pushed the first Feature Complete build for a client. A complete rework of UX that adds a first class iPad experience, drops a very bad TCA implementation, maintains interop with an old 3rd party SDK, and resolves hundreds of memory leaks, while mentoring an engineer, all on a 10hr/wk schedule.

When you get a good multi-modal idea and push it through to the end. Well done ExploringTheSimulation!

Even though it appears you can turn off iOS 18 notification summaries, I’m still not updating. I expect these sorts of half-baked shenanigans from Google and Meta, but am supremely disappointed with Apple on this.

Am I not understanding how moderation lists work? If I add an account to one I’ve made, why do I keep seeing posts from the account? Do moderation lists not work on the Discovery feed?

New album cover about to drop from The Blue Heelers.

Huh. Guess I should go get some coffee or something. Thanks for letting me know about that extra 30 minutes tho.

Currently at the One More Thing conference near WWDC. Very nice group of folks, good content, good conversations. Hope it happens again next year!

Folks, if you're using a UIViewController with many child controllers wired together in a TCA-like fashion with Combine and cancellables, please do future developers a solid and call cancellables.removeAll() when the view disappears. They will appreciate it. #ios #lost-hours

One of the enjoyable aspects of visiting St. Maarten is that every famous pop culture track I grew up with has been covered by reggae bands. Sweet Dreams as reggae is exactly as you imagine it, and it’s good. Good songs transcend genres.

Starting my first Vision Pro project. Let’s see how this goes…

It’s been 3 years since since I bought a new iPhone, and I had forgotten the feeling of watching the UPS truck drive circles around my house all day without delivering.

Discussing with friends that if you shook it wrong, the Foundation box turns into the Hellraiser box.

Well today was an amazing day! I signed for an unexpected package, and when I opened the box:

APPLE SENT ME A VISION PRO DEVELOPER KIT EARLY!!!!

I already hacked the external display to show whatever I want, but I’m not so sure about this EyeSight feature.

Continuing my escape into the Indiana Jones series with And The Temple Of Doom. I saw these films only on VHS so the clarity of Disney+‘s 4K Ultra HD is much appreciated, but the pixelation is crazy. Any video codec buffs interested enough to comment on how film grain affects compression?

I gave myself a birthday present this year: a new Sonos Arc sound bar + Sub mini.

Informal review:

Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Disney app and it is more entertaining that so many movies I’ve seen recently. Such movie magic from Steven, Lawrence, George, John, and all the cast and crew.

And in today’s episode of Random Text Messages From Strangers: I get invited to dinner with a famous “Jerry”, but which one?

I will totally buy a Vision Pro if I can customize EyeSight to show this instead of my actual eyes.

Perhaps today will be the day I get to talk about what I did at Apple two years ago.
