It appears that the WordPress for iOS beta text editor has some character encoding issues. Other than that, I like it.
I try to think of everything that I do as practice.
The iOS 11 Public Beta is the first beta OS I’ve installed from Apple. I did so in part because I want to help improve the OS by providing feedback and analytic data, but also because I wanted to test my aforementioned app that I’m building, and lastly I’ve wanted driving mode since very early […]
Beach Haus Brewery, Belmar, New Jersey – July 2017 – ★★☆☆☆
Eliza and I dropped in and sampled a few brews at Beach Haus Brewery in early July. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything in particular notable about the brewery or the beer.
The thunderstorm I drove through this evening was the worst I’ve ever driven through.
The latest update to iTunes has seemingly brought better performance for Apple Music. Context.

9th Ave Pier, Belmar, New Jersey – July 2017
Earlier this month Eliza and I ate dinner at 9th Ave Pier in Belmar, New Jersey. It was an interesting experience. At 9th Ave Pier you find a seat yourself (despite the fact that the place was packed). This could be done by creating your own tables using objects you find around the pier, finding a few seats with other people at unfilled tables, or finding a way to sit at the bar by cozying up next to someone at one of the few bars.
It didn’t make for a bad experience necessarily, but I can imagine how some might be put off by this. And, it may be that this isn’t an issue except during holiday weekends when the place is busier than usual.
Overall it was a beautiful evening and I won’t forget our dinner there.
Estelle Weyl: Interviewing diverse candidates will not create a diverse environment. While the above organizations may have filled that diversity pipeline, that pipeline is full of leaks. Diversity recruiting is really only lip service. Work, school, community and conference environments need to be inclusive. Inclusivity in the sealant that prevents many pipeline leaks. Many companies […]

I hastily snapped this walking back to my car from July’s NEPA JS after-gathering at Ale Mary’s.
Wearing Deathstar Interior Lighting today. Thanks Kyle.
Harold Jenkins: I’ve long wanted to do a piece on the subject of gardening as violence. Gardening is an extremely violent act. To start a garden you must first kill whatever is already growing in the place you want to garden: cut down trees, tear out vines, rip up or smother sod. Then you break […]
Panic: With one massive update we’ve brought everyone’s favorite file-transferring truck into the future with more speed, more servers, more features, more fixes, a better UI, and even Panic Sync. Everything from the core file transfer engine to the “Get Info” experience was rethought, overhauled, and improved. Hard to believe Transmit 4 is over 7 […]
White Oak Pond – July 2017 (click to zoom)
On Saturday I drove passed White Oak pond to check on its status. You might remember this post as to why it has been drained. Compare the above photo with October 2015.

Bank Towers, Scranton – July 2017
I rewrote some of my app’s UI last night using Swift rather than Storyboards. While it takes me longer (at least currently) to build Views this way – it does seem to be the better way of going about it.
