Wait, what is this? This looks fun.

I've been looking forward to this! I've caught myself humming the Upgrade earnings jingle about twice a day since reading the Six Colors coverage.

Stayed up way too late working on what’s going to be my #ShipATon project. I’m quite a bit away from being able to ship, but uh…good session tonight.

With the disclaimer that I might say something very different at the end of the weekend, I think I landed on my #Shipaton idea. I’m even talking myself into supporting both iOS 18 and iOS 26 even though I’m definitely thinking of some ‘26 stuff as the real MVP.

I appreciate the movie recs in an email, but *damn* the subject line "Bad Actor Alert" is aggressive from our chief information officer. 😉

A ranch and a spicy Snack Wrap arranged on a McDonald's tray.

Been supporting the return of the Snack Wrap for our McDonald's client. Finally got to have mine for lunch today. Check out what we've been up to at snackwrapfiles.com.

Our English department office had these in college. I regret not swinging by there more and being like "Can I just look at it?" They were swapped out for iMac G5/early Intel iMacs before long.

Had a pretty amazing time celebrating @afrodevgirl.bsky.social this weekend. There was dancing, there was brunch, there was an air hockey tournament worthy of ESPN. Fantastic weekend.

Was reading this great recap from @twostraws.bsky.social on a walk and made *such* a sound when I saw "sectionIndexLabel()" at least two neighborhood dogs on the trail were concerned. (I squeed)

I’d like to add “Gravity Falls” and ”Bob’s Burgers”

Unclear if it's "That's just Outlook" or if it's my IT org, but learned yesterday I couldn't *just* hide the unread emails badge on the Outlook for Mac icon.

And I kind of feel like that's a specific form of torture.

Getting the big feels seeing the "CLGeocoder is deprecated in iOS 26" warning. A lot of the early apps I cut my teeth with used that heavily.

OK, specifically the McRib Finder. Looking forward to learning how we're doing this with MapKit now.

I might be holding it wrong, but can't quite get a custom view passed in .tabViewBottomAccessory adjusting to changes in its placement. Can't wait to use it, though.

Same! I found for the days that were *really* special I’d make a journal entry especially after curating some of the photos of an event. But would love to be able to quickly jot an entry in on the Mac/iPad regularly.

Would also accept .buttonStyle(.kitKatBar)

The "For You" tab of PolitiCall, showing a list of rep collections. In order, they are "My Reps," "LGBTQIA+ Reps," and "Oldest Reps." Each collection contains a set of of rows of up to four reps, with their headshots shown in a rounded rectangle.

The Rep Detail view for Delia Ramirez. Beneath her headshot are three buttons arranged horizontally and a series of panels for details.

Right away I notice my button shapes have changed on detail views. I'm going to have a lot of iPad work this summer, but so far I feel like PolitiCall could be a lot worse. (I did a design overhaul in the spring)

This is so awesome!

Had the intention to push an app update and talk about what's new with it eight years into its life. Got sidetracked by a Snack Wrap.

Probably gonna push it just before WWDC and then we'll...we'll talk about that in a couple weeks.

Loved the monetization discussion. Also the reminders ahead of next week not to try and immediately learn everything new out of WWDC.

A rainbow arcs over the Sacramento and Milwaukee intersection.

The same rainbow arcs over the CTA Blue line and nearby buildings.

New client work from the agency job. The Snack Wrap is coming back. We’ve got a ton of new stuff for McDonald’s fans to discover soon.

The icons screen from PolitiCall showing three Pride-focused icons.

I made two more for PolitiCall earlier this spring! (They’re not amazing, but….)

And an unattended cabbage cart every 50 feet!

Ooh. This is an instant bookmark. Thanks!

a cartoon character named stitch is standing on a wooden floor with his mouth open Alt: Stitch, the blue alien, sneering at the camera, standing on his head, and tauntingly shaking his hindquarters.

Just this vibe at non-critical deadlines tomorrow.

It's one of those weeks where it's "Well, you can get up three hours early to knock this out or go to bed very late. You have *exactly* 30 seconds to decide."

It's gonna be full Stitch mode levels of caffeine tomorrow.

Today’s lunch? Purple.

Congrats! That is a great feeling!

How hyped am I already? Already having leather/pleather coasters made embossed an app icon made instead of stickers.
