A 30-day streak.
It feels good to declare “finished” with development of a feature that required 8 months of work.

I think we have a particularly interesting agenda for next week’s CocoaHeads Boston meeting. Local Mac and iOS developers, please join us.
Tonight’s NSHappyHour is at Bit Bar, a bar with retro video games. I am reminded of the scene in Back to the Future II in which Marty McFly walks into an 80s cafe in 2015.
Looking forward to NSHappyHour at Bit Bar tonight.
As of 2000, the Patriots had never won a Super Bowl. The Red Sox had most recently won a World Series in 1918.
Since then, six Super Bowl wins and four World Series wins.
Let’s do this, Patriots.
If you missed but want to hear CNN‘s town hall with Kamala Harris, it is available as a podcast episode.

He found that the results for Scalise mostly turned up stories about his book, while results for King mostly called him a bigot. “If you want positive search results, do positive things,” Lieu warned his colleagues, reserving almost no scrutiny for the man actually seated in the witness chair.
CocoaHeads Boston will meet this Thursday. @mitch will present “Adding MDM Configuration Support to iOS Apps”.
I did not think I would like Mojave’s Dark Mode, but after trying it for a few months I find Light Mode absolutely garish.
