  • Greetings from Cannon Beach! 🏖️

  • The world might have been a better place if their names had been Steve Naps and Bill Bridges. Think about it.

  • This RYB color tool is bitchin'! rybitten.space 🎨

  • My latest project: A photometric lighting viewer for macOS! 💡

  • The mountain is out! ⛰️

  • Happy birthday, Devin! 🥳🥳

  • I’ll believe it when I see it: www.windowscentral.com/microsoft…

  • Boat ride! ⚓️

  • Splashdown! 🚀

  • I hit that Mail bug again on iOS. Been careful since to only multiselect messages that are unread, but there’s definitely a problem with the state of the button toggle. It erroneously presented me with a Mark as Unread button.

  • I wish I’d had NFOViewer back at Runic. Before I went to bed, I added a global search feature. This was finicky to get working at first, but it works. The other issue I had to fix was when filtering thousands of items, I’d hit a deadlock while rendering the UI, but we debounce and stream in now.

  • In past support roles, I always preferred working from a Mac, but those pesky Windows System Information (*.NFO) files kept getting in the way. So tonight I built NFOViewer, a simple macOS app that opens them with zero friction.

  • Tonight I went through the process of bringing the classic Mac OS X app Backhoe (a terrain editor for Second Life) all the way from Objective-C and AppKit on Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) over to Swift, Apple Silicon, modern macOS – and running on the iPad!

  • Fats Navarro w/ Don Lanphere www.youtube.com/watch 🎵 It blows my mind that I studied with Don and knew him a little bit. He was a musically-demanding perfectionist, but was a good guy with a kind heart. He used to tell me how much he and Charlie Parker hated Paul Desmond. 😆

  • Anybody else notice an annoying little hitch lately when dragging and dropping files on macOS, like into Claude or a web browser drop zone?

  • Got an old project up and running again in a docker container tonight. Hello, old friend!

  • It’d be real sweet if Mail got an update sometime to make marking all messages as read not suck. Twice this year I have inadvertently flagged all messages on all my accounts by mistake, usually due to some kind of UI lag bug on the iPad.

  • Last weekend visiting the cherry blossoms at the UW campus.

  • We went to a No Kings protest yesterday afternoon in Ballard.

  • First time at opening week! A good effort tonight even if we didn’t win. ⚾️

  • Some news from my jobby job: We shipped Camelot Unchained into early access yesterday! 🎉 massivelyop.com/2026/03/2…

  • Love it. Ship it on Windows and Linux too, please. webkit.org/blog/1786…

  • I’ve heard that the A18 Pro is basically a tiny M1, so my hope is that the MacBook Neo pushes Apple to focus a little bit more on performance improvements to accommodate some of the older Apple Silicon out there.
