Half of creating something new involves removing features you’ve already built for something that’s better. I swear I've rewrote this one user flow 4 different ways, liking each better than the last.

Nothing says "athlete" like earning a Move goal by repeatedly testing workout APIs at desk. 🙃

Playing around with DishSpot to detect dishes and where they exist in your world using @roboflow.com + ARKit. You can play with it here: github.com/ioloro/DishS... App, database, model are all available on GitHub.Mu

Turns out, good sleep, proper self-care, caffeine, and doing work you love are the four pillars of a great workday.

Kids’ first show was Ripe @ Mission Ballroom. So much dancing, singing and fun.

Starting something new. After nearly 13 years @ Apple, I'm moving on to build something of my own. Working on one main product idea, plus a couple side projects. I'll also be doing some contracting work along the way when it's right. Looking forward to the challenge and exploring where this goes.

I made Auralog because I was fed up with migraine apps full of forms and steps—the last thing I want when I’m in pain. Effortlessly capture a migraine instantly—or later when you feel better. Auralog brings you back. I’m taking my life back, and you can too. OUT NOW apps.apple.com/us/app/aural...

New API in 26.1 b2! developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Had to age verify for Bluesky today. Immediately distrust these services/method of verification (SSN, Drivers License, etc)

Next week I'll be looking like this.

Spent today harvesting and canning bits of the garden (cucumbers, tomatoes) First time doing canning and it took all day because I was using kitchen equipment. Moving to my brewing rig next year.

Built out a quick demo (20 min effort) to parse data I've been collecting. Providing just the URL and a quick web scrape of the source URL I'm getting decent classification of the websites.

Buying silly things for my truck restoration

Colorado has been hot for the past month, most days being mid to high 90s. This next 10ish days are predicting to be below 90 and it makes me SO happy.

Was very excited until I saw Jared Leto in this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YV...

Signed up for my first 5k in almost 8 years. Send best wishes.

BRB. Grabbing some movies for tonight.

Working from garage today, my dog is just sleeping in the front yard grass. She's basically flaunting that she has nothing to worry about and I admit I'm a bit jealous.

WWDC is an experience. Connecting with folks from over the years, including some peers, and meeting new friends. Saw some of my team’s work celebrated Love meeting folks from all over and discussing engineering. Very happy to see the indie community gathering and sharing joy with one another.

Morning haiku to start the day: Working from garage— rain-soaked ground, morning muted, clouds delay the day.

This was the moment.. he knew he messed up. 🌊

Slowly perfecting smash burgers till I quit tech and open a food truck.

Super psyched to go to Disneyland with the family + my mom (her first time in 20 years) My mom & I love the Tiki Room. Sadly it’s under renovation, and unlikely to be open when we go.

I'm sure this is just a "me" thing. Currently taking a "Data Structures" class. The difficult part about learning digitally sometimes is poor/non-accessible content. The video I'm watching has overloaded slides of math, etc then also has the speaker with their own content - supplementing the slide

4 arguments for why 0.999...=1

Wake up kids! New Sleep Token just dropped: music.apple.com/us/album/eve...

Budgeted for the rest of the month. ✅ Slowly training my brain things I should have learned long ago.

Laughable. Credit card companies be like: Signing up: Have a heartbeat Closing account: Answer these three riddles and listen to a "special offer"

Swift Package Manager is legit, speeding up my development.

I had a blast giving this! Thank you so much @deepdishswift.com and @joshdholtz.com for the opportunity!

I wish my innie would stop using so much energy so my outie can enjoy the longer days.

Sometimes when writing on the internet (or really anywhere) I think about the quote from Ramsey Michel in Chef: "You started a flame-war with *me*. Are you kidding me, I buy ink by the barrel, buddy. What are you doing picking a fight with me? I wouldn't challenge you to a cook-off."

Exploring Denver, went looking for a bar that also had a burger.

Beastie Boys // RATM night

One of my favorite features is portals, a space within a space. 👏

I'm extremely proud of how Pediapal came out, and it's such a personal milestone of mine to ship an indie app. I'm excited for folks to use it, and I'm excited to continue to grow it. It all started as a way to help me with my family, so it is my earnest wish that it will help you with yours.
