Like many in tech I’ve been looking at various Large Language Models lately. One of the most fascinating use cases is using Chat-GPT to write code that can be a productivity enhancer for developers. As part of my day job, I work with OSLC compliant applications. If you are not familiar with OSLC, check out […]
Since completely rewriting WastedTime into SwiftUI and fixing it to run nearly the same code across macOS, watchOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, I’ve not been happy with the way I’ve handled the fonts. Today I took a step back and made changes to better handle the needs of larger devices. Ultimately the code is pretty […]

I was talking to my good friend and podcast co-host @andypiper about this yesterday, and he asked why. I thought about it long and hard. While back in the twitter days I used this for […]

I was really happy to see that Stephen Colbert and the team at the Late Show have created this historical back story for my App – Wasted Time Actually, Wasted Time is more than a clock. It tracks how much time is wasted getting your meeting started. Check it out!
How I almost recreated the iOS Notes App in Swift
It’s been a few months since my last post. Since then I was able to give a talk a the IBM ELM Users Conference, pretty much taking people through the prior series of blog posts. It was exciting to hear the reception of theses blog posts. The prior post showed how “easy” it can be […]
Wow, this week has flown by and I’ve learned a lot, but I still have tons more to learn. While I have less sessions planned today, I am sure I can find other sessions I will watch. So let’s get started. Creating accessible Single App Mode Experiences Single mode apps, lock the system to a […]
