Tomorrow is the start of WWDC 2023, and the rumors are all coalescing around the idea of the Apple Headset. It’s been 9 years since I tried on, and ultimately bought, Google Glass, so the promise of an Apple headset is more than exciting to me. While people are complaining about a rumored price of […]

XROS Thought – Eyes
Last night, while I was trying to doze off, I started thinking thru the expected announcement of Apple’s VR Headset. I had read the rumor that one item that Apple was going to do is give people the ability to see the users eye, by having a screen on the outside. This way when you […]
Completed two major classes
I like learning. It’s that simple. I like to take classes, learn new things, read about new things, and play with new things. It’s one of the reasons I think I like being in technology, there are always new things to learn. Early last year I decided to start the class 100 Day of Swift […]
Fixing a major bug in beta software
I’ve been working on my card tracking app for some time. I have been using it for approximately 4 years to track my own holiday cards, so there’s tons of data stored in my alpha and beta version. Today I finally figured out the last major bug, before I look to posting it to the […]
Summer 2021 WWDC Impacts
For the last 12 years or so, I’ve really enjoyed playing with the various beta’s of Apple’s operating systems. Discovering new features, and updating my apps each summer have been a great way to keep my technological skills current, while scratching the itch to write code. I’ve had good summers and bad summers, based on […]

WWDC 2020 – Day 1
7:24am WWDC-time  After being able to make it to WWDC for two years in a row, it really feels strange getting ready for WWDC while sitting at home. At least I am on vacation from the day job for the week, so I am letting the excitement build, while social distancing. I am wearing […]
Apple’s iPad Magic Keyboard thoughts
I’ve been a huge iPad fan since it first game out. I bought the first four versions sight unseen, and with each one I loved it more. I have the original iPad keyboard stand, that plugged into the 30 pin slot and only worked in portrait mode. When the first iPad Pro came out, I […]
WWDC Wrap up
I decided to wait a week to write my WWDC wrap up, not because I’ve not had any time to write it due to the day job, non-profit work, and dealing with the WWDC Flu (okay that’s most of the reason), but also to give me time to reflect on all the things I saw […]
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). […]
