Back in June, I was interviewed by Saul Mora on NSBrief Podcast, talking about app development and whatnot despite having very little voice left after a busy WWDC week! Give it a listen here. And earlier today, I was featured on Mark D. Mill’s “Watchscreen” series, talking about how I use my Apple Watch. You… Continue reading NSBrief and Watchscreen

My red and gold Edition review
I recently purchased an Edition in red and gold. Given that this was an expensive item, I wanted to review it thoroughly in case it helps anyone else make this purchase decision. Shipping My Edition came in time for me to bring it to WWDC, but it cut it a little close. It would have… Continue reading My red and gold Edition review
Resolutish
Intellectually, I’m not a huge fan of new year’s resolutions – heck, I’m not even sure about how you capitalize and punctuate the phrase. :) I like to think that the time of year shouldn’t have a massive impact on deciding to make improvements in your life, you know? But I’m in a weird spot… Continue reading Resolutish
Ergonomorama
I have hardcore tennis elbow. I’ve spent a couple grand accommodating this. Maybe you can learn from my ergonomic expenditures. My ergonomic backstory In 2008, the job market was not so hot. I had worked my first ever tech contract, which felt kind of terrifying to me since I was basically guaranteeing future unemployment by… Continue reading Ergonomorama
Sometimes puns are irresistible.
My husband’s pal Ian started a fun game on Twitter. I joined in. Hilarity ensued, at least as far as the three of us were concerned. I thought you might also find it amusing. Excited to announce my new project, remixing classic hip-hop and trance music. We’re called RUN*DMT — Ian Adams (@IanWAdams) January 7,… Continue reading Sometimes puns are irresistible.
Epic spam comment template (?)
I just got this as a single spam comment on one of my less-used sites. My jaw kinda dropped. I thought someone out there might find it as interesting, disturbing, amusing, and/or useful – perhaps if you develop anti-spam products, you’ve just been handed a useful template to add to your filtering system. Anyway, enjoy!… Continue reading Epic spam comment template (?)
Screw Paint Plus Pairing; let’s look at antiques!
I can’t believe how premature/naive I think it is for AT to recommend that people pick their paint color, just like that, without having gone out and bought new furniture or at least obtained swatches for comparison. I guess I’m a bit of a snob about this process after reading Maria Killam’s book, and also… Continue reading Screw Paint Plus Pairing; let’s look at antiques!
First Finder cleanup results
Things I learned: 1) You can just delete all those f-cking .dmg files. Cool! Thanks 2) When I take notes on a detailed phone conversation, event, or podcast recording session, I sure do need to jot down your full name and how I know you. Harry and Michelle, you barely made it through the cracks.… Continue reading First Finder cleanup results
The Internet ROCKS.
I swear, I don’t know what I’d do if we’d never come up with this whole interconnected awesomeness thing. I re-launched my business earlier this year, which involved picking a new business name. It was incredibly hard to come up with a name I liked that was also what my business needed, and I was… Continue reading The Internet ROCKS.
Back the f*ck out of Marco Arment’s finances
This is one of those TL;DR scenarios. I’ll do my best to sum it up quickly. –Yahoo bought Tumblr for a boatload of money. -Marco Arment used to work for Tumblr; he weighs in on the acquisition in depth and eloquence, with a small passing mention of gratitude for the generosity of his former employer… Continue reading Back the f*ck out of Marco Arment’s finances
