• Oh yeah, I won a duathlon

    Was waiting for pictures to emerge, but apparently all those folks with long lenses kept them to themselves ?‍♂️ I can run fairly well and I can ride fairly well. Compared to the average person, I’m very good at both. Compared to folks who compete, I’m mediocre. However, there aren’t a lot of folks who are at my level in two sports. I always…

  • “Camping” @ Memaloose State Park

    We’ve heard of people doing it. We’re tough. We’re good parents. Why shouldn’t we take our 13-month old camping? Let me tell you the reasons: Unless you book a campsite six months out in the PNW, you’re stuck with some pretty bad campgrounds.

This month Mia found her vocal cords; she chats up a storm, can now scream, and that’s the end of our hearing. Her biggest feat has to be climbing up any and all stairs – sometimes to our surprise when…

  • Safari and XCUITest

    THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ABOUT TESTING WEBSITES WITH XCUITEST. I think that can be done, but I don’t do it, it sounds terribly painful, and there are probably better tools available. This article is to help you with a very common question I see asked on the StackOverflow XCUITest tag. “How do I ensure my app has sent me to the correct URL when…
