It's release day for my latest book... but this one's a bit different!

Milo and the Midnight Meteorite is a captivating children’s book that sparks curiosity about meteorites and the magnificent universe we inhabit!

Good Monday morning tech nerds. One of my devs wrote *another* blog post about kerberos (I'm creating an army of crazy bloggers). This one you might consider bookmarking.

Come on our Tuesday for an evening of friendly lockpicking in Redmond. Details: https://www.meetup.com/seattle-lockpicking/events/308347014/. (We've heard meetup.com has been giving some folks errors when trying to register or RSVP. Is that happens to you, just show up!)

@tbridge Congrats to both of you!

It’s WWDC time! I’ve been browsing what’s new in accessibility and here’s a thread with what I’ve found so far 🧵

Assistive Access is a truly amazing #accessibility feature, allowing apps to adapt for those with cognitive disabilities. And now it’s finally a new #SwiftUI scene type that YOU can use in your own apps. To learn how, Anne has a fantastic talk this #wwdc25: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/238

Getting a chance to be part of the Platform State of the Union at #WWDC25 for #Apple was a huge honor and so much fun!!! And even better was spending the rest of the day chatting with so many brilliant and enthusiastic developers! 🤩

I never met Bill Atkinson but HyperCard had a profound impact on my life as a young child in the early 1990s. Thank you Bill for all your contributions to society and prayers and love to his friends and family. RIP. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10238073579963378&id=1378467145

@film_girl love it!

Really enjoyed @scriptingosx book, “macOS Terminal and Shell” (https://scriptingosx.com/macos-terminal-and-shell/). I picked up a bunch of little tips, tricks and insights that I overlooked over the years. One of the things I’m trying to do in my learning is spending deliberate time on learning the tools I use and be more efficient. This book absolutely helped with that. #macadmins #infosec

@tbridge when a listen to any of my regular podcasts at normal speed I always think wow these folks are hammered!
