My daily Bible reading today included Paul’s account of his conversion.

“I am sending you to them to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God”
Acts 26:17b-18a, CSB

To anyone happy with the news about Charlie Kirk’s death…

Thanks for the reminder, @Apple, but I'm not sure how many days that is.

(No worries, Apple Support, I can figure it out in Settings)

I've been using iOS 26 and visionOS 26 since #WWDC25, but I finally installed iPadOS 26… The new windowing system is nice. 🤩

Have you been using AI tools to assist in iOS development lately? Which one is your favorite?
- ChatGPT 4o, 4.1, etc
- Claude Sonnet/Opus 4
- Grok 4
- Something else

Also, what integrations (i.e. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)?

I released my first iOS app over 6 years ago and never pushed an update to that one since... I figured it was time to send out an update. Here's v2.0 more than 6 years later! 🤩

Huge milestone… Just hit 1000 subscriptions in WhatsDue today!

And what a time to hit it, during #WWDC25 week. 💯 Also, thanks again RevenueCat for giving me an easy way to see my stats! 🤩

My son and I competed at AGF Chattanooga on Saturday. It was a lot of fun jiu jitsu, but also very tiring. Got to add to my wall, though! 🥈🥉

Kinda disturbing, but the ChatGPT image generation doesn't only go to "Studio Ghibli"... it works in reverse order turning cartoon memes into "photorealistic" images. 😱

Testing out creating "Studio Ghibli" (don't even know what that is, but "Japanese cartoons"?) images with ChatGPT last night... 🤯 how it creates these images from pictures I took. Here are a couple examples that were accurate (and cute), but I'm not sharing the originals.

Can confirm this is accurate in Swift as well.
