And here’s the megafeed of everything I’ve been doing.
An analysis of NASA’s human spaceflight programs, [Orion](http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/orion/index.html) and the [Space Launch System](http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/rocket.html). How we got here, where we’re going, and how things could shake out with an eventful November in US politics coming up.
An analysis of the intricate dance between United Launch Alliance, SpaceX, and Blue Origin as we enter the next era of spaceflight.
I contributed a small part to this brilliant (and massive) post on A List Apart. What things are we looking forward to in 2016? What’s capturing our interests in the upcoming year?
We’ve been busy working on our iPhone app, and we’re really excited with where it’s headed. Here’s a quick look at some recent improvements we’ve made in version 2.3.
The difference between knowledge and intelligence is an extremely important one. Knowledge is the collection of skills and information a person has acquired through experience. Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge. Watch the video of my talk.
“Cool URIs don’t change.” Even cooler ones work everywhere—including apps.
Getting valuable feedback is a delicate and very important thing. A little bit of thoughtfulness and planning can go a long way.
One of the biggest advantages of having expertise is understanding and implementing best practices, but they’re often the biggest hindrance in learning something new. Getting yourself back into “beginner mode” is essential.
Xcode 6 introduced an important, yet under-promoted, feature for developers: the ability to create custom frameworks for iOS and Mac. Here’s a walkthrough of how to create a framework that can be shared between iOS apps, Mac apps, and extensions on any platform.
Xcode 6 introduced an important, yet under-promoted, feature for developers: the ability to create custom frameworks for iOS and Mac. I’ll be showing off how to create and implement cross-platform frameworks for use across multiple targets and projects.
New device categories often start out by doing the same tasks as existing devices, but history has shown that successful categories are those that bring an entirely new context and fundamentally change the way we use technology.
We talk about the Patriot Act, the French Patriot Act, China's Great Cannon, and the challenges of technologically illiterate legislators vying to control the Internet — all through a dick PRISM.
I was lucky enough to be invited down to Orlando, Florida to participate in some events surrounding the 2015 Full Sail University Hall of Fame inductions. I’ll be on three panels, covering responsive design, mobile development, and Swift.
Refactoring code is a lot like saving the Earth from an asteroid impact. Except way less heroic and incredible.
A lot of commonly-accepted abbreviations exist only because a critical mass of people use them. Is the loss of clarity outweighed by the benefits of a shorter name?
We talk about the challenges of net neutrality, the definition of lawful content, the importance of encryption-enforced privacy, and the unlikely champion of reason and individual rights.
I’m incredibly uncomfortable with the guiding principles of net neutrality. The proposed rules are insidious and will undermine some of the most sacred pieces of the Internet.
We talk about inconsistent, disappointing and sometimes positively surprising tools.
Most of our projects operate on a smaller scale than a mission to Mars, but there’s a lot we can learn from NASA’s approach to boldly going where none have gone before. NASA is thinking modularly down to the core components of a system, and we should, too.
