How do you preemptively attack yourself? I think you’d lose all element of surprise.

Damn it has been a week between an emergency project at work and a trip to the emergency vet last night. I've not gotten to watch much yet - but there are a few goodies from WWDC that I'm excited to play with.

Finally got to install Xc26 and at least my apps build and don't look too crazy 👌

Adults of course famously sleep through anything.

I’ve been super busy so far this week and have not had time to play so far.

Is it true that you can’t use Foundation Model Framework without updating your dev machine to macOS 26? I was looking forward to messing with that but that will slow me down. 🙁

I love everything about this but that boombox is near the top of the list.

Can’t believe @deepdishswift.com is less than 48 hours out!

Super excited to catch up with some of you there. And eat pizza. In no particular priority order.

The Lighthouse formation blocking out the sun at Palo Duro Canyon. I snapped this with my phone on vacation a couple weeks ago and really like it.

Looks like the comms folks at the city selected the wrong one on the AM/PM drop down. Should be fun surprise for them tomorrow.

A month ago if you played a single song in Apple Music, it would essentially create a station from that song and continue playing. Now it just loops the song.

Am I dreaming or was that a change? Is there some setting that controls it?

Looking at the audience in the SNL 50th special is a ride.

Sent messages to my devil-spawn representatives about the DOE and school vouchers (for state reps). Felt fairly pointless but at least it gets tallied? LLMs make customizing these easy.

Will follow these up with calls, tho not to Ted Cruz because the revulsion to futility ratio is too much 🤮

I want you to go into your app right now and find/replace some strings for me.

Threw together a blog and a post about my experience promoting my indie app. I thought it would be interesting to share some specific data on the impact of the App Store feature and broadcast news segments.

Let me know what you think!

Boy it sure is hard to read the news these days.

If it helps just a little, here is a picture I took this weekend of a baby goat using a sleeping pig as a climbing apparatus.

Here's a glossary for Swift concurrency.

I've been asked about this a few times, and I finally sat down to do it.

It would be nice if there was a single place to go to look up all the terms, keywords, and annotations related to Swift concurrency. So here it is. By no means do you need to understand everything her...

Have another one of those bugs that I can’t stop analyzing even in my sleep.

First contract of 2025....... falls through.

(I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.)

I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!

Any interest in a post covering the numbers and strategies around my indie app getting an Apple feature and various other publicity? It’d mostly be depressing but perhaps interesting.

Who is the target audience for this article? I guess people who work in San Antonio broadcast news? 🤷

Well this one was an interesting surprise when I queued up the few Yule log videos on Apple Music to play on Christmas morning.

Not quite Adult Swim Yule log level of surprise, but yea.
