Coins
Posted on
I've had the idea for an app that would simply show you the value of your bitcoins at a glance. Lots of Shares users have requested bitcoin support in Shares, but it would be very different since it's a lot different than a stock. Coins is just a simple little app that tells you how much your bitcoins are worth.
This is the story of designing, building, and submitting the app in one day.
Valio Con 2013

I had the privilege of being on the App Panel at Valio Con 2013 back in June. My good friend (and Roon co-creator) Drew Wilson puts on Valio Con every year.
Here's the video from the panel:
Does Free Diminish Value?
Posted on
Lately I've been thinking a lot about this question: Does free diminish value? A recent Microsoft commercial about the new Surface something or rather mentioned they'd give you the best smartphone for free if you bought a Surface. Obviously it's some Microsoft phone and they are touting the camera.
To me, I immediately dismiss the possibility of it being the best phone. If that is really the case, there is no way they could give it away for free. At least that's my line of thinking. If this is truly the best, it must be using some cutting edge technology and that junk isn't cheap.
Someone twitter had a good point:
Raising Your Profile
Posted on
Recently, I recorded a video with my friend Pasan over at Treehouse. We talked about raising your profile online.
Personal branding is very important to me. It's something that requires effort. It's not random chance people know (or don't know) who you are.
Anyway, give it a watch if you're interested. It's 35 minutes long and in interview format.
Custom Controls in Footage
Posted on
I've been working on app called Footage with my good friend Drew Wilson (we made Roon together). Footage is a video editor app he's been working on for awhile. Drew hired me to make the effects system and to come up with a way for some designer friends to make effects.
We decided to make another Mac app called Footage Composer. It's been a lot of fun and there are definitely some big challenges with this project. Mac development is hard.
I asked Drew if I could show off some of the stuff I've been working on and he was all for it.
