Parting Ways With Cheddar
Posted on
I made this thing called Cheddar last year. I'm pretty proud of it. I wrote why I stopped working on it here. I talked about this whole process at length in Founders Talk episode 38, episode 39, and little in episode 40. (Episode 41 isn't about me. Could have sworn I took over that show.)
Anyway, I posted that I was selling Cheddar a few months back. This has been a very interesting process. I learned a lot and met some really cool people. My biggest take away is most people just wanted to find out a lot because they were curious and were just wasting my time.
Today, the money from the Cheddar sale cleared in my back account. It's official. I don't own Cheddar any more. My good friend Josh Long owns it now. He has some big plans for it. He'll be posting about it soon. I'll tweet it out when he does.

In case you've been living under a rock, you know that iOS 7 isn't beautiful. Everyone is talking about how bad it is. Jony Ive Redesigns Things and Episode 1 of Mother Futon News are my favorites.
Anyway, there are countless quotes just like this one:
iOS 7 is so far from done that maybe there is a story here, in that Apple has a mountain of work ahead to get iOS 7 ready for actual release this fall (presumably, coincident with the release of new iPhone and iPad devices). But to judge iOS 7 beta 1 as you would a release version is silly.

Last night I updated my blog website. Now that I'm using Roon for my blog, I wanted to update soff.es to pull in my latest post and show off some of the stuff I'm working on.
We have big plans for developer stuff on Roon, but for now I'm just using a little Ruby script to pull my latest post.
Pretty simple. We'll be rolling out real documentation and such soonish.

I recently realized I kinda like space. A lot.
I started following Chris Hadfield on Twitter a few months ago. Someone had retweeted this tweet that had an amazing photo of San Francisco.

I've been thinking a ton about tomorrow's keynote. I think everyone has. This year is different than most. No one knows anything this year. If you think back to the iPhone 4 announcement, Steve even commented during the keynote that "some of you have already seen this." This year it's just silence.
The big change this year besides how quiet it's been is that Ive is in charge of the software design for the first time. The banners around the Moscone are shockingly different:
