Keyboard Projects: Iris
Over the past year I’ve developed a periodic habit of going on keeb.io and just ordering up a kit for a keyboard just to try it out. Like with most mechanical keyboard supply shops, you have to keep a close eye on when things are in stock, but they have some fun and relatively simple…

Searching the Web Far and Wide with Alfred

The Dunning-Krueger Years
I’ll periodically get these flashbacks to moments in my career where I can now realize that I was way out of my element and didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. Having worked at an early stage startup I ended up in a role where I was managing other engineers and I was not…

A new WWDC
Speaking as someone who’s never attended a WWDC in person, today’s sessions felt like an overall improvement over an in-person event. Presentations felt tighter and more polished overall. It was probably a little less nerve-wracking for the speakers to have everything recorded ahead of time, even if they miss out on some of the live…

ARKit and the taller skyscraper
Having seen some of the apps that were put into the App Store this week with ARKit support, it really hearkened back to an analogy Steve Jobs loved to make when OS X was first being developed. Building software, he opined, was a bit like building a skyscraper. There’s a certain number of floors that…
