Well, the team at the install lab were awesome. I wish I had left the machine alone when it went belly up, for multiple reasons. One, I would have spent most of Monday night getting frustrated, I wouldn’t have lost any data, and I would have given them a problem to debug. Instead, I got […]

WWDC Day Two (early morning)
(7am Tuesday) There are a few things I forgot to mention yesterday: TestFlight updates: I use TestFlight to both test apps from others, and to test apps that I’ve written. The cool update is now you can have test flight ask for feedback. The way that this is supposed to work is, if the user […]
WWDC Day 1 – Awesome Woes
WWDC is designed for developers, and this year’s keynote didn’t miss. I arrived shortly after 6 am, and ended up pretty far back in the queue, but as always, Apple does a great job of moving every one thru. The four hour wait didn’t seem as along, and the discussions in the queue were fun […]
Moogfest Day 4 – It’s a Wrap
The final day of Moogfest is always interesting. Seeing which artists will do talks on Sunday morning, and what media will be presented in the afternoon. This year, there did not have a movie, but they did have LightBeam playing a really laid back ambient set with visualizations from plant biometric visualizations. The highlight for […]
Moogfest Day 3 – Music, fun and disappointment

MoogFest Day 2 – Workshops and Martin Gore
Today I got the chance to do a few workshops that I had signed up for. The first session was done by NC State and took everyone thru doing some WebVR development using AFrame and a site called Glitch. Glitch allows you to setup a WebVR environment quickly and easily. Fun class, reminded me of […]
A slow start – Moogfest 2019 Day 1
Today is day 1 of Moogfest 2019. Got here in time to pick up my pass at 10am (when it opened) and they were still setting up the place. To say setting up the place, is a bit of an understatement. The didn’t even have the tent fully constructed. The VIP lounge wasn’t built yet, […]
Conversation is not enough
In the last post I talked about how conversations are a powerful way of interacting with a computer. A conversation must have context and memory in order to enable this power. Simple commands and individual queries are good, but not sufficient to enable the UX of the future. Now let’s look at augmented reality (AR). […]
Security and IoT
This year there have been so many reports about IoT devices being hacked, being misused, and being subverted. I think we are at a watershed when it comes to Internet of Things Connected devices. There are two major issues, which if not resolved, will crater the industry and drive a large spike of distrust into […]
