It's sad to know that most app developers will need to sell ads to make the hours and hours of coding and testing worth their time.

I've written apps for iPhone and Apple Watch. They are ad-free and cost just a few dollars, but they will never be as popular as the ad-based alternatives.

Nobody likes ads in their apps. But now everybody expects apps to cost nothing.

We've gotten used to free phone apps. Free apps are supported by selling ads and user information.

Congrats to team for their successful IPO debut today. It was a pleasure being part of the Nasdaq bell-ringing festivities, and wonderful to be able to meet with Lisa and her leadership team in person after so many months.

A year ago, I was able to keep riding my amazing horse Hado through the lockdown by boarding him at the barn next door. I never imagined I'd be riding him around in my own back yard.

Maple syrup boil from the latest batch of sap is ON. Today’s boiling point is 0.3 degrees F higher than last time due to higher barometric pressure today (30.53”). It’s important to know since we’re looking for a specific change in temperature to tell us when it’s syrup.

It’s the cassette’s anniversary this week. Not only do I still have my beloved 1982 WM-5, but also the Walkman demo tape it came with.

Sunday was bug-bashing day. I had a few issues with my graphing code dating back to Alti-Barometer 1.0 that I fixed for good, plus a bunch of other odds and ends. One of the great things about about code is that it can always be made better.

K&R remains my favorite book on programming, and C is still my favorite language. The pages of my original copy are turning yellow after 30+ years.

This is my first time on board an Airbus 380. I’m taking the long way to get back to the US from Australia passing through Abu Dhabi. It was the best way to get back to Arlington under the circumstances.

I’ve been in Sydney before, but this time I got to fit in an 8 mile run along the harbor filled with one great view after another.

I enjoyed spending some quality time with our @AcendreTalent engineering team in Bangalore last week and happened to witness an amazing sunset while I was there.

I'm on my way to Bangalore to visit my team there. My MacBook wouldn't auto-discover the hotspot URL on my flight despite trying different browsers & toggling wifi on/off. I went to Network/Advanced/DNS; the hotspot URL was in "Search Domains" in very light gray. #MacTips

I was only planning to run up to the south side of the Golden Gate. Once I was at the pedestrian entrance, I couldn't resist running all the way to Marin and back. What is it about bridges that make you want to get to the other side?
