John Nelson (1825-1907), a distant ancestor of my husband, was among the brave "Iron Men" of the Indiana 44th Regiment fighting at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, during the US Civil War. He was a son of John Martin Nelson and Susannah McKibbin. Born in Ohio, as a young man he moved to Indiana with his farming family....
My Apple iPhone 12 mini had become too unreliable to count on, so I recently replaced it. I won’t miss its camera, though. It’s designed to make everyone’s photos look better than life, and it pursues that goal aggressively. Trouble is, I prefer a faithful rendering of what I’ve put into the frame. First impressions...

In fact, inspired by the music video that went with it,...

Xcode disk space can grow rapidly without you noticing. Especially these days, with multiple agents turning multiple worktrees into silent disk space occupiers. Where I used to only focus on deleting old Simulators every now and then, I’m now also actively managing worktrees and derived data folders. There are great...
The other day, I ran into a Mastodon discussion about open source software and how blaming your userbase isn't a great strategy for growth. Scott Jenson made a comment (emphasis mine): I like this post from Ian Coldwater. Slagging off users isn't a growth strategy. Now, you may not want growth, perfectly fine, but...
How many people get to spend their birthday overnight in a concrete wigwam? A night in a concrete wigwam? Weird, right? It wasn’t as weird and novel as I figured it would be. It was, indeed, a concrete conical structure that resembled a teepee, and the inside was tiny and roundish, but we were so tuckered out from a...
