Excited to announce that I completed the last module for my multi-Target Swift/SwiftUI app. I nailed synchronization among Mac, iOS and WatchOS using NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore and AppGroups for Widgets. Release date is this Sunday. Just about to send out coupon codes to my monthly Ko-fi subscribers

You have to hand it to the Romans for their engineering skills. This aqueduct at Pont du Gard is unbelievable.

I do a lot of writing because I script out each one of my videos after I record them so that I can record audio after the fact and match it to the video. I have been using Cotypist (in Beta) for a while now and it is an unbelievable tool for me. cotypist.app

I am preparing a video on concentric corners. Before I do that I want to check to see why one would use option 2 over option 1 when they both give me the same thing. Option 1 just seems easier to remember. #iOS26 #SwiftUI
Feedback appreciated ❤️

Celebrating our 35th anniversary with a special bottle of Queen’s Taken Chardonnay from Checkmate Winery (Osoyoos, BC). We bought it 2 yrs ago and saved it for this moment. Sourced from the famed Dekleva Vineyard, the terroir behind the world-beating Mission Hill 1994 Chardonnay.

A big day for Vancouver Whitecaps today. Müller took to the pitch for the last 30 minutes and the quality was obvious. He had a goal nullified due to an offside but oh so close. A disappointing 1-1 draw. We deserved better.
