My post for #MauiUiJuly 2025 is a Wheel of names clone.

Learn how to build a reusable control within .NET MAUI and use things like GraphicsView and Animation to create a rather fancy looking wheel.

Why Women in Tech isn't enough Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

I just published a new plugin to read EXIF information from images in your .NET MAUI app!

Just one line of code and you get a ton of useful information to work with. What do you think? What should I add next?

"Everyone wants the summary. But the summary is what's left after someone else decided what matters. Their priorities aren't yours. Their filters aren't yours. When you operate on summaries, you're thinking with someone else's brain."

This is an excellent watch..Mirrors some of my, not so eloquently put, thoughts on why things might not take off quite as the hype would have you believe.

Am I going to let a computer power my life, have my credit card details, when there's even a 5% chance it might hallucinate.

Absolutely not.
