At dinner tonight my 15yo daughter innocently asked me for the correct pronunciation of GIF. I feel like a lousy father because in my 90-minute response I didn’t even mention color palettes.

Last night we watched El Deafo on TV+. It’s based on one of my daughter’s favorite books, by @CeceBellBooks. Holy cow, so good. If this show doesn’t at least win a sound/audio Emmy next year there’s something wrong with the world.

Got my second booster today. There was no cheering section, no special place for a selfie, and no stickers. Not even a fancy band-aid. The pandemic-fighters need a marketing shake-up.

I just received an email with the subject “Mike Lee's role in the plot to overturn our democracy” and now I’m even more curious about Mike Lemur’s annual @360iDev talk this August.

Causing some Good Trouble today. Threaten local government transparency and cable public access in the same move? I may have things to say about that.

A brief diversion from my rare, nerdy tech tweets: I was just elected to my town’s Board of Selectmen. If this sounds familiar I served two terms on the same board in another town years ago. Fun stuff, so much to do! communityadvocate.com/2022/05/10/coh…

I ran Facebook ads for my campaign. I stopped the ads on Election Day. I’m now getting endless prompts to “Reach more potential customers.” Despite it being a fully approved political page there’s no way to say “Election is over. Snooze until the re-election run in three years.”

One WWDC Lab change this year: In both the labs I’ve had, the Apple Engineer shared their camera. I don’t think I’ve seen any faces in the last two years’ labs. Makes for a much nicer conversation.

Our 15yo daughter stopped in to see her little sister at the end of an Apple Camp session tonight. They asked her to join the class. Project was to create a story on saving the Earth. We hadn’t said a word about today, but she knew. This is what she wrote. There’s hope.

Just deleted a massive ObjC UIViewController with “Created by Mitch Cohen on 2/1/11” at the top. Replaced it with a somewhat less massive Swift UIViewController which I anticipate replacing in December, 2033.

Adding “Conditional Breakpoint” to my résumé! (Honored to have performed the Slide Advance Keyboard for this performance.)

I’m trying to read Twitter again, after a 2-3 month break. I hope I’ve missed nothing and everyone I follow is alive and tweeting happy thoughts.

Seen at my kid’s school last night. Two PowerMac G5’s as a bench. I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, steal it, or copy it…
