The number of times that the iTunes library file has corrupted on my iMac is insane! I have a very large iTunes library. It consists of all the CDs, LPs, Cassette Tapes, and even some Reel-to-reels that I own, and have converted to digital. The library is about 23,000 songs and well over a thousand […]

My Apple Watch Series 4 Prediction
So, I’ve been thinking about WWDC’s demos, and the rumors that the Watch Series 4 is going to be bigger.. so let me be the first one to blog this out loud… The Apple Watch Series 4 will become your Dick Tracy watch. Here’s why I say this.. If you watched the keynote, they showed […]
WWDC Day Two
The best advice I was given by people who have been at WWDC before was to focus on getting time with the engineers. All the sessions are streamed as videos, and you can spend time later to watch the ones you missed. This is excellent advice! I stared the day yesterday with getting with the […]
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 […]
Squashing bugs!
yesterday I had an epiphany – I realized that a bug that had been hiding in Wasted Time for years was actually trivial to fix! So I sat down and within seconds I fixed it! (Boy that hasn’t happened in a very long time – probably because I don’t get to program much anymore.). So […]

Apple’s Wednesday Announcement – Three “One More Things”
One of the things I look forward to each summer is upgrading my iOS devices to each of the developer beta drops. It is always an exciting time, usually with lots of bugs and problems. For some reason this summer was different. The upgrades were simple, they didn’t cause a lofty of problems, and not […]
Learn to Code in Swift – a Book Review
I had the opportunity to read the book “Learn to Code in Swift – The new language of iOS Apps” by Kevin J. McNeish, over year end holidays. I’ve been looking for a good book on Swift, as I spent last summer translating my own app from Objective-C to Swift. While I really didn’t know […]
Is this your next development machine?
I finally got to play with the MacPro in person the other day at my local Apple store. This was not a fully loaded machine, it only had 12gb of ram and 256gb SSD, but I ran a few tests on it. And it was plenty fast for any activity that required multiple cores. I […]
One week with the iPad Air
I received my iPad Air this past Monday, and as promised, here is a little review. I’ve had every generation of the iPad up to the 3rd Generation. When the 4th Generation came out, I could not justify the speed bump ad the only benefit. Nor could I justify the mini, since it was not […]
