Just found out I am going to San Jose twice. Excited to represent APL at API:World in September!
What Makes This Song Great? Ep.19 RUSH
You might think Closer To The Heart is overplayed, particularly live by Rush, but there is a lot of good song writing and composition going on in this tune. Really enjoyed how Rick Beato broke the song down. Looks like he has a lot of cool analysis videos for me to sink my teeth into, too.
Daring Fireball: John Paul Stevens: ‘Repeal the Second Amendment’
Serious gun control is coming. It’s like gay marriage — stalled with no progress for decades, and then, boom, it’s the law of the land in 50 states. I don’t know when it will happen, but when it does, it’ll happen fast.
Couldn’t agree more.
Development Paralysis
When it became clear that I would not have my golf app finished in time for this year’s season, I decided to halt development and consider another app idea that wasn’t seasonal. As I began to workshop the idea, it became fairly clear that the app would best be served as an iOS and Mac app.
Well, we might get a new UI framework this summer to do just that.
So instead of building this spring I’ve been waiting. I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed in myself for procrastinating on this project, even if I can rationalize a reason to do so. This time of year is when many established iOS and Mac developers refine what they already have, but as a new comer to the space, I feel guilty for not creating and simply waiting.
I am always in the business of getting synths worth thousands for a couple bucks. Back when we performed, my iPads were the engine for all our keyboards. We had more options than we knew what to do with. I just wish there was a way to streamline all these apps for performance.
Hosting Chicken & Waffles tomorrow so I tried frying chicken for the first time tonight. Pretty happy with the first iteration.

Dark Sky’s sources are drunk.

When Apple announces new watch bands I look at my budget, it looks at me, and there is a bit of a stand off 😂. There is a budget for it but I think I should just enjoy the 12 I already have.
Decided to try the Pomodoro method while working from home today. Of course there was an Alexa skill waiting for me.
