BBEdit is a hell of an app. It’s not the tool I want for everything — it generally can’t compete with other tools when it comes to programming tasks — but what it does, it really does well.

Been using Banktivity recently for managing finances. I have a few complaints, but it’s really good once you figure it out a bit.
People always say this about the folks they work with — but holy crap the people on my team are incredibly smart and kind. I feel so privileged to work with each of them. Being here challenges me in precisely the way I need to grow and feel engaged with my work.
Kind of surprised this very popular text editor I just tried that gets updated all the time doesn’t support dark mode yet…
I kind of forgot my birthday was today until, yesterday, but there it is! I am now 34.
Rode my bike to work for the first time this morning, which was awesome. It’s a short ride, but enough for me to feel nice and refreshed when I arrive. Also, because it’s a quick trip, it doesn’t take any longer than driving my car here.
Received my new bike yesterday. For how little you see people cycling here, Cupertino is pretty fantastic for it. Great weather, good roads, mostly flat, and lots of bike lanes.
Has anyone tried one of those home shiatsu neck massagers and have an opinion for or against? I’ve been having a pretty stiff/sore neck and thinking of giving it a shot.
Went to the doctor this morning and found out my sinuses are all messed up and that’s why I don’t sleep well, am tired a lot, and have so much trouble waking up. Apparently I’m 80% blocked on one side due to deviated septum; among other problems constructing my airflow.
Having fun playing with my Ember mug today. I feel like I would have made fun of this until trying it and now I think it’s great.
I need to make a point to check out Script Debugger. I write a ton of AppleScript and the ability to set breakpoints and do real debugging would probably make it a lot easier.
It feels nice to be going into a break having gotten everything I needed to before done 💪

Tempted to drop the $199 on the entire objc.io book series. They all look real good.
Just finished Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda. Really fantastic. If you’re interested in making products, Apple, or both, definitely read it. Ken narrates the audiobook himself and it’s does a great job. itunes.apple.com/us/book/c…
Why you should have Practice Hours as a developer – freeCodeCamp.org
I’m programming in my free time more since I got the iPad Pro than I have in a long time. Each day I take a chapter from the algorithms book I’m working on, load Books and Swift Playgrounds in split screen, and implement what I’m learning while sitting on the couch.
I’ve had trouble meditating in half lotus without my legs falling asleep, so I decided to try sitting seiza with a meditation bench. I bought two of these (office and home) and they’ve been great. www.amazon.com/gp/produc…
While still having a lot to figure out about my sleep, the one thing I’ve figured out is that however many hours I want, I need to add at least 90 minutes before that to get in bed. Waking up at 8 means being in bed by 10:30.
I’m still alive and I made it to California. Things are going great!
The fourteen months or so have been pretty crazy, but good, and I think it’s ending up in a place better than I could have imagined.
Where’s my Let’s Go Bulbasaur game? The fact him he’s Pokémon 001 just shows me sometimes you get it right the first time. Catching em all is cool, but really I’m mostly content after I get a Bulbasaur.
Last day in Seattle. Movers come tomorrow morning. Spending it in my pajamas watching YouTube reviews of Nickelodeon’s Doug.
Just signed the paperwork and made it official. As of the end of this month I will be moving to Cupertino to join the Reminders team at Apple!
