I feel like we've accepted the value of starting your design on the smallest screen possible (e.g. iPhone SE, or—better—watchOS), but I have learned/caught myself in so many things starting with the Mac first.
Starting to add iOS/iPadOS support to a macOS app I use to curate and export content for an eight-display Showcase Wall in our office today.
Got jazzed about using a SideBarAdaptableTabViewStyle for everything and then realized you can't set min or ideal widths. 😭

Introducing WireView, a new tool for the iOS developer workflow. It’s primarily for me but you can have it, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ9X...

I should write a Valentine to AppleScript this year. Ever had to send almost a thousand emails with Outlook and not been able to Mail Merge?
AppleScript drives Outlook. Plus you can do what I did and get a batch of windows to rapid-fire click “Send” on.
What a day. What a day.
Busy couple weeks to start the year, but can confirm I’m part of the team bringing McNugget Caviar to your Valentine’s Day for our McDonald’s client. www.delish.com/food-news/a7...

A screenshot from Carrot Weather showing Chicago at -9 degrees, feeling like -22. Carrot’s text reads “These clouds taste like cotton candy. Earwax-flavored cotton candy.”
Greetings from scenic Hoth.
TIL about exploding trees vis a vis extremely cold temperatures. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explodi...
Anything with profile view notifications is a weird choice. I get why LinkedIn maybe wanted that, but it’s felt ever-more weird as they try to also be a social media.
Once or twice a month I have to pull headshots for our employee anniversary screen on our office showcase wall.
Today was the day I have to LinkedIn creep on about 30 people to get/update their headshot, then awkwardly look across the room like “I swear I’m not being a creeper!”
I’m like, conversant in sports when I need to be. But uh…I’ve lived in Chicago almost 15 years and learned *this week* “Bear Down” didn’t mean we had a Bear down for the count.
I grew up around the Bengals, I’m used to disappointment?
It’s giving me neon from old cinemas and food courts, too.
The water feature! The green marble accents! I have shopped this mall/stayed in hotels that borrowed this playbook.
…really, I just get giddy at indoor fountains. It’s the most “Ah, yes, you grew up with malls,” thing about me.
What are the two most famous airport fountains and why are they Singapore and La Guardia?
Even just asking questions about an existing code base, too.
It's my birthday and gummy Valentine's Day candy was already 50% off? Score.
I'm going to the dentist this week. Every time I do, I keep thinking of the "Go dentist" clip. (My teeth are good, I just like "Go dentist.") www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxYY...

First PolitiCall update for the year is submitted for App Review. I'm keeping today pretty chill, but this small update reflects a departure from the House on Monday, plus a recently announced special election for NJ-11.
Happy New Year!
I have fond memories of watching CS193P lectures as an undergrad trying to figure out how to make lit mags happen on the iPad. When I graduated and moved onto grad school, I kept going with Paul Hegarty's iterations. Love to see the 2025 edition is on YouTube now. youtu.be/kCjDulwChRQ?...
...and realizing there's a whole bunch of out-of-nav pages on my old site that aren't ported over yet. 😭
Made a new site. Is it perfect yet? No. Is there still content to add? Yep. Am I excited to cancel my Squarespace subscription? I am!
I guess after playing the president for so long, an astronaut/senator was the only logical next step!
Got a tiny PolitiCall update out that includes the results of the special election in TN-7. And if you aren’t in TN-7, it made a widget look less crap.
This week has been a “Grey’s Anatomy” episode. Like a crossover episode with “Succession.”
Dropping a new website! Just gotta wrangle all those screenshots. 😅
