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 probably need a new year’s resolution a little more ambitious than “fix this stupid bug”.
Now that I have a Mac with USB-C, I wish for a phone with USB-C. One cable could connect my Mac to power, my phone to power, or my phone to my Mac.
I am good at thinking of great Christmas present ideas right after the holiday is over.
Michael Tsai’s blog: Apple News No Longer Supports RSS
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.
Episode 400 of the Core Intuition podcast is fantastic. @danielpunkass and @manton had special guest Oisín Prendiville.
I had to sign in to pbs.org in order to watch the debate with the PBS Apple TV app.

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.
There will be protests across the country for impeachment Tuesday evening.
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.

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.
Thought exercise: what if it was the Supreme Court instead of the Senate that would vote on the removal of an impeached President.
A particularly good episode of Mac Power Users: Developer Roundtable with @kcase, @dteare, and @macgreg.
(It is a couple weeks old now, but still good.)
CocoaHeads Boston will meet this coming Thursday. Fabián Cañas will present Unexpected Behavior with Nullability and Objective-C / Swift Interoperability. It should be a good meeting. New participants of all experience levels are always welcome.
