Two Weeks From First Commit to a Walking Coach experience A build diary for a watchOS-first app, what shipped, what broke, and what my git history taught me. The idea StepWise is a simple pitch: your Apple Watch nudges you to take a short 5‑minute walk (target pace: a gentle 2 mph) at a steady […]
I’ve been working on this new app for a few weeks, and I believe it is ready for feedback from testers. I put together a teaser video to help people understand what it does, without giving too much away. I am still waiting for Apple to approve the submission for testers, so hopefully I’ll get […]
Instead of creating a unique page for each session I watched, I’ve decided to group them. After the Keynote today, I started updating my various devices, got all but the development mac updated. I think my old development watch may have just gone passed the supported level too, so it is stuck on watchOS 26. […]
Good Morning! Loved the stop motion, and “Good Morning!” Energy has never been stronger, with over 1,000 submissions every hour! (Wonder how many are vibe coded). Nice to see Tim in front of the Apple Park Rainbow! And of course there is the video from the moon trip! Apple Intelligence and Siri. And time to […]
It’s been an eventful year, and WWDC is right around the corner (tomorrow as I write this). every year since 2018, I’ve taken an Education-Vacation to align with WWDC. In 2018 and 2019, I was lucky enough to actually get a ticket to go in person. I’ve tried the last few years, but no luck […]
Not sure if I will keep the name, but I am really excited about a new app idea. It will be my second native watchOS app! My goal is to help people remember to do 5 minutes of simple walking an hour, during their work day. It can be as simple as slow marching in […]
A few weeks back I released an app I’ve been working on for over a year. It is a privacy first Vinyl Trackr, meaning all the data is yours, and it is only stored in your iCloud for syncing across devices. If you don’t have iCloud setup, it will only exist on your device (thanks […]
It’s two weeks until all the detailed videos for developers will be made available during Apple’s Virtual WWDC week, and I’ve already setup my plan for the week. I’ve signed up for a few of the group Q&A sessions on the topics that interest me the most, and I’ve been trying to clean up my […]
Over this weekend, my co-host over at https://gamesatwork.biz, Andy did a ton of work to seamlessly move this site to a new hosting provider. (Along with the podcast site too! He did this will still showcasing physical maker work at an art show. Go support him, he’s amazing! More coming soon!
I’ve been blogging and podcasting for over 20 years now, and my hosting provider has always said unlimited storage. Well this week, I was notified that that really means only 20GB of storage. As you can imagine in the 20 years I may have used more than that (actually had 60GB of content, backups, and […]
