Next week I’m giving a talk about being a programmer to my sister’s 6th grade class. The kids gave me some questions to answer and I think I’m going to build a little app with them too. Any advice for this talk is much appreciated 🙂

There were a ton of cheesehead Packer fans around downtown Seattle today. It was especially appropriate when I saw a few come out of Beecher’s at the market. Go Hawks!
A new Mac mini would come in so handy in encoding this beastly box set. It’s okay though, I’m patient 😊
The new Mac mini looks fantastic! It would be great someday to replace my 2012 version with one of these.
By a stroke of what I can only call the Lord’s providence, we found a TV exactly the same as the one that was broken. $275 later and it’s up on the wall.
I’m so glad I don’t have to jump into the “Smart” TV era just yet.
Is there any decent non-smart TV out there anymore? I’m suddenly in the market for something to replace my Samsung plasma screen.
I heard about Alton Brown’s egg nog recipe the other day and had to give it a go. Now I’ve got a huge bowl of it chilling in my fridge for the next couple of months. Can’t wait to try it!
If you or someone you know has an app that needs updating, get in touch! I’m on the hunt for a fun side hustle.
Working on an updated version of Scorebook (which was written entirely in Objective-C). I’m making new stuff in Swift, and having to update a bunch of the old code to work with the new. It’s been a while since I’ve had to do a bunch of bridging and this is a nice refresher.
And our internet is back! 🎉
We are having a FIOS internet outage at home, and I’m realizing how impactful it is for my small kiddos.
The Mariners made a fake script for the 1994 World Series and had Dave Niehaus call it. This story is unbelievable and you have to hear the sound.
I really miss Dave. And Mariner playoff baseball.
The lack of intrinsicContentSize on UIStackView (and all arranged subviews having a 0,0 origin) is causing me a decent amount of grief this morning.
Getting back into a project I wrote a few years ago exclusively in Objective-C and adding new stuff in Swift. I constantly forget to remember @objc declarations and have had to make a couple of wrappers so my Swift stuff will bridge correctly. But it’s good to be back in this app
It’s kind of surprising to me that a new line of iPhones were introduced today and I’m not really interested in upgrading to any of them (the XS being the only realistic option for me). I think that’s a credit to just how good the iPhone X is.
The bootleg from Pearl Jam’s 8/8 show at Safeco Field went on sale yesterday. Both home shows were really good, and I love going back and listening to their shows I went to.
I signed up for Feedbin as soon as Google Reader shutdown, and it’s truly a great service. They’re private by default and it’s one of the reasons I’ll continue my subscription as long as I can see.
Finnian keeps asking for “boing” — the kid cant get enough of bowling!
Atticus woke up and was babbling/playing at 3:15 in his room, then our fire alarm went off at 3:45. There was no fire and now I’m wide awake and how is yoir morning going?
I made a couple of PRs to an open source library that hasn’t been updated in a while, and they haven’t been responded to in about a week. It’s totally cool for me to just merge the branches in my fork and just use my fork, right? I want to do right by the original author.
You know that feeling of coming back to the world after several amazing days in a row? I’ve got a massive case of that right now. Pearl Jam twice last week, Xcoders, and the last 3 days have been great times with family. I’m so thankful for all the memories we made.
What a great Pearl Jam show last night. Both Wednesday and and last night were great sets that were way different from each other. Eddie broke out the harmonica for Footsteps on the second song and I knew we were in for a treat!
Pearl Jam show 1 of 2 last night was amazing! 3 hours and 2 encores. They brought all they had and are going to do it again tomorrow night. We were up in section 220 last night and will be in GA tomorrow.
Today is the day! Pearl Jam part 1!
If a bus comes 20 minutes after its posted time but 8 minutes before the next one, is it really late or really early?
