Relieved to finally fix a nasty bug that hounded me for too long.

16-inch Macbook Pro after Almost Two Months

I have been using my 16-inch MacBook Pro for almost two months. I wanted to share some thoughts on the computer. For context, I updated from a 2012 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro.

Donald Trump on November 14, 2011: @BarackObama will attack Iran in the not too distant future because it will help him win the election.

Next week’s CocoaHeads Boston meeting will include: Allie Mellen describing threats in mobile security. Allie is a security researcher and author at Cybereason. @danielpunkass describing the work he did to support accessibility in Black Ink 2, his crossword puzzle app.

I started off the year by reorganizing and tidying my office.

I know someone has me figured out when I get a bag of meat and beer for Christmas. 🎄

I don’t have a favorite Christmas movie, but I like every Aaron Sorkin Christmas episode of The West Wing, Sports Night, and Studio 60.

Good turnout for the impeachment rally on this cold and rainy evening.

A reminder that protests for impeachment are on for tomorrow night. I am going to the event on the Boston Common.

This post by @BigZaphod pointed me in the right direction in tracking down some background crashes.

I just submitted a detailed Feedback Assistant report regarding kernel panics on my 16-inch MacBook Pro. They seem happen when at my desk and connected to displays and USB devices. I am otherwise very happy with this computer, so I hope Apple can address this quickly.

I called the office of my congresswoman, Lori Trahan, and asked that she vote in favor of the articles of impeachment. I am pleased that the person I spoke with confirmed that she intends to do so.

I am not going to reveal it right now, but I have set a deadline for shipping Unread 2.

CocoaHeads Boston meets tonight.

Open Links in Safari, Not Safari View Controller I disagree, but the article makes a sound argument.

This page now has audio from the public impeachment hearings of the House Judiciary Committee that have been held to date.
