I envy folks spending this week in San Jose, but I am also excited to watch the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union at the CocoaHeads Boston viewing party.

#

New iPod Touch purchased and configured. Provisioning profiles updated. Ready for iOS 13 beta.

#

CocoaHeads Boston will be hosting a viewing party for the WWDC Keynote and Platforms State of the Union. Please join us.

#

Anne Milgram, a former New Jersey Attorney General, tries to read Rod Rosenstein’s absurd resignation letter without cracking up.

#

I am debating whether to upgrade my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. I wish a service existed that allowed me to definitively determine the compile time of my own projects on specific hardware models.

If I buy anything it will be after the WWDC keynote.

Mac Open Web is a new website by @brian. It lists indie Mac, iOS, and web apps that help promote the open web. Check it out.

Can “Indie” Social Media Save Us?

I am happy both for Micro.blog and for the IndieWeb community at large to see this article.

Also, congratulations @manton!

This needs to be signal boosted:

Becky Hansmeyer (@becky):

$5 should be the absolute rock bottom price for a quality indie app, full stop. So, for whoever might need to hear this: stop kidding yourself, you’re not going to make it up in volume, raise your dang prices, thank you and good night.

100% agree.

Dan Shaughnessy, The Boston Globe:

The White House Thursday morning sent out a scheduled post on its website stating, “President Trump Welcomes the 2018 World Series Champions The Boston Red Socks to the White House.’’

I am not making this up.

Red Socks.

An end to my 105-day streak.

#

This evening’s CocoaHeads Boston meeting will include talks by Zev Eisenberg, Erik Price, and me.

#

I’m claiming executive privilege to prevent the release of a report that exonerates me.

#

Congratulations to Zev Eisenberg on shipping Jugglebot.

From the App Store description:

Type in juggling patterns, and Jugglebot will animate them so you can see how they work!

I started 2019 with a significant weight loss goal. Today I reached my target weight.

Coincidentally my streak of walking 10,000 steps/day is now at 100 days. BFF4A5BE-395A-4C5D-9B6D-B3C01F1E1B03.jpg

#

Looking forward to NSHappyHour tonight.

#

Robert Mueller’s letter to Barr has been released, and it is damning.

#

I just called my Congressional representatives (Lori Trahan, Elizabeth Warren, and Ed Markey) asking them to do everything in their power to push for more investigations of Trump and for impeachment.

#

Congratulations to Silvio Rizzi on the release of Reeder 4.

My dilemna for this morning is what to do with seldom (but not never) used preference settings. Keep them, remove them, or relegate them to an Advanced section.

FYI, a friend of mine is selling a 13-inch 2017 MacBook Air. I can vouch for the seller.
