Had a good seat, and brought a good camera. Really enjoyed being there. Excited about iOS7.

The day and week after the WWDC keynote is usually a gold mine of new things to read, and today hasn’t disappointed.  High points for me included:

All The Apple News in Brief (Wirecutter)  If you’re  going to only read one thing, read this.

Tim Cook is a Great CEO (Ben Thompson)

‘This Is Our Signature’: iOS 7 (Daring Fireball)

27 new iOS Features that Apple Didn’t Talk About (MacWorld)

List of Mac’s Compatible with OX X Mavericks  (Gizmodo) All My machines make the cut.

I represented my team to accept the Webby award we won for Best in Sports Mobile Apps. Here’s the video of the five word speech I gave when accepting the award.

I flipped the switch early, but I have been working on moving this site so I can use it properly again for a while. Lots of broken links and unfinished business, but it’s better than the site that hadn’t been updated in two years. Bear with me, I will get there a little at a time.

Hanging Out With Dad 40/365

I'm really enjoying being a Dad.

 

I’ve been working on a new “of the week” project since the beginning of the year.  At the end of last year, I was tired of taking a picture every day, as much as I enjoyed the 365 Project.  I didn’t want to commit to the same daily level of things this year, partially because of the impending birth of the baby (codenamed Smallz) and partially because I was just tired of being a servant to the project.

At first, I was thinking that I would try and do a single picture each week, but really work on the technique and quality of each picture.  Then I was thinking that I would do that and start a 365 for the first year of Smallz' life.  (I still plan on doing that.)  When our January issue of Bon Appetit arrived, it had a recipe for a Bahn Mi sandwich that I really was interested in making.  I ended up making it, and taking pictures while doing it.  Making these sandwiches gave me the idea to make something new each week, and learn how to cook and take pictures of food better while doing it.  Here’s a collection of the recipes I have made so far.

In the first nine weeks, I have learned that it’s not always easy to find something I want to make.  I have also learned that I know far less about cooking than I realized.  A lot of my inspiration so far has come from Serious Eats and Tasty Kitchen.  Both are awesome resources for the home cook.
