WWDC Keynote First Hand Experience – Quick note.
This is my first year actually getting to WWDC. And I can say, the two hours sitting in the keynote went a lot faster than I expected. I am really excited to download some new code and get things tested out. I will keep my home iMac on the current High Sierra so I can […]
I now know the way to San Jose
Ok, I am sure many people use this same joke… but When I got here, I realized the last time I was in San Jose was 2008 for a Virtual Worlds Conference. It’s amazing how memories cause you to think things look one way, and they don’t really look that way. I guess that is […]

Apple’s Education Event
Teacher’s have one of the hardest jobs in America… I should know, I was hell on my teachers growing up. Just ask some of my favorite teachers – Ms. Johnson, Ms. Stansescu, and Mrs. Schwartz. But today, Apple is trying to make their job easier, with technology. While I am a fan of what Apple […]
