One of my directs gave me a card today with artwork done by his sister-in-law, based on his description of me to her. I 🩷 it! More of her work: https://catsandmaidens.art
Bought some rechargeable spoke lights because I hate throwing away batteries, but realized (a) they’re a pain to take off once on, and (b) there’s no power where I store my bike at home. Testing out how I might charge the lights at the same time as the bike with this prototype setup in my office. (Real charging will be in the bike room.)
Just listened to the related Vergecast podcast, and this came up again in the context of third-party audio apps. Like the now playing controls in iOS Control Center and Lock Screen, watchOS 10 shows whatever audio is playing. I’m listening via Overcast on the phone.
Great to see some coverage of the watchOS 10 redesign! https://www.theverge.com/23786155/watchos-10-preview-apple-watch
Not true that the Smart Stack is limited to first-party apps, tho. 🙂
Sitting with my Watch Frameworkers for the Keynote. Say hi if you see us! We’ll also be in the SwiftUI area for Meet the Teams this afternoon. 😊 #wwdc23
Won our third game! Shocker, given that it was at 6:45am. Now waiting in the locker room for our final game at 8:30. #puckplacemarket
Today’s weeding task: hockey jerseys. I feel like this one might be of interest to a Silicon Valley Internet Bubble fan or collector. The Blue Martini team had the best jerseys in our Monday league, and I got an honorary one when we did some work with them. 44 because it was the year Dreamweaver 4 and UltraDev 4 came out.
Changed desks yesterday and finally let go of all my lanyards in favor of pinning my conference badges to the wall (at my office mate’s suggestion). It’s a bummer to be missing WWDC20 and 21 badges—I should find the one that got me into SJT to record SOTU—but my office mate gifted me a set of unofficial ‘20 pins as a consolation.
