Liquid Glass is looking pretty cool in backseat geologist. Trying to get everything ready for the iOS 26 release.

FCS bedrock breakdown.

FCS bedrock breakdown.
This is the bedrock breakdown by major college football conference. The ACC takes home awards for oldest rocks and most diverse rocks. SEC has the biggest age spread. BIG10 is now the sedimentary conference. BIG 12 needs to get some real rocks and not this unconsolidated junk.

I learned that WFS and WMS services are a thing this weekend and that was a major rabbit hole.

Trying out a blog I guess? Here’s the roadmap for the app. I also want to dive into the cross section of geology and technology, write a little about app development, and other random intersections of geology and my interests.

I wanted to see what rocks are under every FBS college football stadium. Here’s the oldest and youngest rocks by stadium. ACC dominates oldest rocks.

Any iOS devs here able to explain how major version transitions work? Can’t submit updates with beta compiler, can’t compile if #available flags with stable compiler?

It’s a real pain that while working on Backseat Geologist 90% of my daily life happens in the same orange blob of biotite gneiss. I wish I could test it on my commute!

Rockd was probably the best geologic map app on the AppStore. I wanted to see if I could take it another step by automating the reading of the descriptions. I built Backseat Geologist using the same Macrostrat data with a system to give real time updates about the rocks under you as you drive.

Just built two MCP servers that allow querying of the Macrostrat API and USGS earthquake API with natural language through Claude desktop. Really fun to mess around with these.

Took me two days to get my first model context protocol server running but once I finally did I couldn’t wait to start building one myself.

Cursor with a Claude agent is working its way through over 30 files creating i18next translation strings. It’s written over 800 lines of json and just keeps chugging along. So awesome.
