“A fat bag of cash toppled to the floor, splitting, spilling its contents of coins and paper. Jake stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed. He then turned and walked away grumbling. ‘I have enough problems of my own.’” #writing

Plan for tomorrow: more WWDC video watching read start transcribing short story for C3 food things

It is easy to turn someone ignorant into a pawn of evil. That’s why the educational system is failing here. #racism #fascism #gop #education

Take some time to thank yourself for getting through another day. It is a major accomplishment that is worthy of gratitude. #life #success

Hm there are some updates to the Books app on 16. Just tweaks. No new functionality, and still no way to really organize books. #books #wwdc #failure

Not even I want this…

When in doubt, eat a cookie.

Spiders that grow tentacles instead of legs. #writing

I haven’t checked. Is there anything new in TextEditor in SwiftUI? #wwdc

Why am I still seeing UIKit at #wwdc. Didn’t that die the death of XIB/NIBs? .~

I should eat stuff today. Just ordered a meatball sub delivery.

Seeing a lot of UIKit-focused sessions at #wwdc. I would have thought we’d be all-in on #SwiftUI by now… The sessions should have a keyword/token specifying whether they are SwiftUI, UIKit, ObjC, etc.

Woot! Just got the proofs back for “Scavenger Hunt”. Really like the cover design. Glad I decided not to do my own this time. #writing #publishing

StageManager is pretty cool and useful, but still has some wonkiness. #iPadOS #wwdc

Downloading Ventura and the new XCode… #wwdc

Something is terribly wrong. We’ve had more than our share of perfect weather here.

Hello. Don’t take the ones you love for granted only to feel for them after they are dead. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: wwdc reading eating errands

“The best things in life aren’t free. They are the things you don’t have but want.” #writing

Ok. A few interesting things. I don’t see a need for a wholesale redesign/recode as in past years. I hope… #wwdc

Hm. Any updates on Swift Playgrounds app creation? Nothing in the Sotp. #wwdc

I love how Apple promotes “just a few lines of code”. It never is unless you’re doing their demo code. #wwdc

I think I want to build in Live Text into my writing app. #wwdc

Passkeys are great. Hope they are easy to implement; easier than OAuth. #wwdc

I still haven’t found a good use for Apple Shortcuts. It’s easier just doing it another way. Yup. I know that’s just me. #wwdc
