Name one thing that needs to go away for all time…

I really hope somebody remembered to get a good full offsite backup. There’s a really good chance we might need to restore the system from backup to get it operational again.

There are trillions upon trillions of galaxies in the universe. If you were to count all the stars across the cosmos, they would outnumber the grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth. And yet, we’ve barely begun to explore beyond our cosmic backyard. The odds suggest we are not alone.

SpaceX is the future of space exploration? $3 billion in taxpayer dollars into Elon Musk’s pocket earmarked for lunar missions. A decade later, no lunar landing, or even a plan for how astronauts safely reach the Moon’s surface. Where’s our return on investment? No accountability for not delivering?

Threads of code, whispers of wind—whether in software or dreams, we shape the unseen. Innovate boldly, for tomorrow is born in today’s risks.

Color Science—RGB LEDs & Drone Sensors: Apples aren’t red. Their pigments reflect red light only if the light source has red. Without red light, they won’t look red. White light, containing all colors, reveals the ‘red’ color.

I designed a vegetation management system combining AI, drones & LiDAR, for a 420% ROI inspecting 30,000 miles of power lines. Replaced inefficient methods & costly manned aircraft inspections, achieving more precise data collection & predictive analysis—allowing more targeted, faster, maintenance.

For years, programming felt like living inside the machine like TRON, cut off from the world. But today, with edge computing devices like ESP32, Arduino, and Pi paired with special sensors, our code can see, hear, and touch the physical world.

It’s like stepping outside after a lifetime indoors!

Always sort your socks by thickness and hole count to ensure balance and dignity. Sock thickness disparity and lopsided ventilation always leads to walking unintentionally in circles and Monty Python Silly Walks. The Ministry of Sock Sorting thanks you for your service.

Mark Cuban on Trump not paying contractors: I just experienced this. A company emboldened by Trump breached contract, stole 30 days pay, & asked me to work for free.

No food, no gifts this Xmas. Have U faced similar? Is this “the way” for companies now?

Software development isn’t just about writing great code. In this Trump v2.0 political climate, it’s about navigating the chaos of tariffs and trade wars, and an unpredictable business environment.

What’s the future of iOS/macOS development in this?
