I just found out both my teenage kids are running iOS 26 Developer Beta on their phones. I tried explaining the pros and cons and what a developer beta is for, but it’s in one ear out the other. “My friends are doing it, dad. Why can’t I?”

I attended The Talk Show Live From WWDC 2025 in San Jose last week. It was the first time I ever attended a taping, and it happened to coincide with the first time in the last 10 years where there wasn’t an Apple executive on the panel. It was still a good show, slightly over 2 hours long, covering Apple’s announcements the day prior. I took this photo using the iPhone 16 Pro Max, about 10 rows back, stage right.

Not bad, right?

The full video is on YouTube.

Somewhat Longer Posts

I'm trying a new theme for the site. It seperates quick (microposts) from longer (longform) posts. There will be updates to the page as I work on this, but every post is accessible through the Archive link at the top of the page.
