  • Recipe: Apple Fritters

    Here’s something completely different! These apple “fritters” can end up coming out closer to apple-packed pancakes, but either way, they’re an awesome, autumn brunch treat. Ingredients Steps

  • Found at Goodwill: WebPad 1001 Prototype

    I found this strange looking device at Goodwill yesterday. Originally, owing perhaps to the bright blue color, I thought it was some sort of educational or kids device. It had no branding on it, so overall, something of a mystery. At first, it didn’t even have the button membranes installed, just exposed raw button switches,…

  • My Doorbell Runs Swift – iOSDevCampDC 2017

    I just gave a talk at iOSDevCampDC 2017 about building an Internet of Things bridge in Swift on a Raspberry Pi.  Here’s the deck on SpeakerDeck, and I also exported the slides with my notes into a PDF: Slides on SpeakerDeck Download Slides with Notes (PDF) Also, here’s my demo video: My Doorbell Runs Swift…

  • Setting up a Raspberry Pi for Swifty IoT

    I recently gave a talk on implementing an Internet of Things bridge in Swift using a Raspberry Pi.

Many smart people have done the heavy lifting here, I’ve just put the building blocks together. Where…

Below that, lines of gibberish seem to cascade downward endlessly, patterns coyly exposing themselves in streaks of data as I scroll down violently. In one file hides every single stop, made by every single train, running along every single route…

  • ADAPTiD

    Aesthetic Design Algorithm for Public Transit Information Diagrams, ADAPTiD for short.  As of yet, it’s just a dinky line simplifier that has been fed data from NYC’s PATH rail system, which connects Manhattan with points west across the Hudson.  Yes, giving such a project an acronym already is perhaps akin to publishing my work on…
