Happy spring everyone!
From 10 years ago today.
Good morning!
Very happy to see Apple making this important investment.

Found a good home for my new Drafts sticker. Excited for its macOS release in the very near future.
One advantage of taking the kids to school each morning is seeing lovely sunrises 🌅 📷
I’ve been looking for to this feature - you can now watch up to four live shows at once on the AppleTV. Of course, if you unwisely choose to watch 4 news shows at once your brain will explode.
No act of kindness is too small… ☕️
Harbinger I’ve gotten outside for exercise a few times this year but today felt different - being outdoors has gone from a rare treat to an expected norm. Just in time for spring which I believe starts Wednesday.
For Micro Monday I’d like to recommend @mikehendley who posts in-progress photos of his amazing artwork. It’s fun to follow along.
It isn’t fair to say social media platforms created hatred but is abundantly clear they are actively amplifying it. A small dose of censorship is not enough of a response. It also seems clear these platforms will not take meaningful action unless forced to do so by governments.
A Walk In The Gardens - With Pink And Blue Horses!
Started out chilly but by the time we were done we had peeled off our layers. It is still a bit early in the year so flowers were lacking but we got a good 3 mile walk in.

A good article on sharing photos online.
Why you should put your dog’s photo on social media—but not your children’s
A couple of days ago my wife’s old 12.9” iPad Pro started shutting down. Thursday night it could happen within 10 minutes after a reboot. It passed all hardware tests so Apple said to wipe it and not to restore from a backup. Still crashed. So she’s now got a shiny new iPad.
Today’s new:
✅ Made a hardware change, now the bootloader again boots and loads
✅ Created a pull request to make an open source library more compatible with a range of MCUs
❌ Discovered a crashing bug in the native SSL library for the ESP32. Not really sure I wanna dive into that
I’ve been doing bare-metal software development my whole life, even pre-college. My first job post graduate school was creating a commercial operating system. But not so much the past few days. Bootloaders that neither boot nor load, watchdog timers resetting… 😡
Working on our 10 year old son’s costume for his speech at school.
I vowed to change how I consume major news. A few months into 2019 my new approach is working well. No more daily checks on major stories, or completely skipping them. I now sit down and read the Sunday NY Times thoroughly. I actually feel better informed and more constructive.
I can no longer say I’ve never had avocado toast. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve spent nearly the whole day adapting projects to revised APIs. And predictably the API changes have a ripple effect requiring larger scale changes. Also predictably the vendor dropped some required info from the new JSON responses creating a whole other sort of problem.
Ever since it came out I’ve been using the Jayson iOS app (you know, for looking at JSON files). All the basic features are free and the app has worked perfectly for me on a ton of different sources. Productivity++ viewing JSON on my iPad while coding on my MBP.
At the high school Performing Arts Center. But for a parent meeting not a performance. Super deluxe with loge seating.
If someone made a shirt with a pocket specifically to hold the Apple Pencil I’m afraid I’d buy it 🙃
