Wheelie 3.0 is now in the App Store, and it’s a really nice update. I rethought how the main interface works to give you more flexibility and a new larger stats view. I also integrate in both directions with Apple Health now! apps.apple.com/us/app/wheelie-bike-…

A cycling app displays a Philadelphia map centered near Rittenhouse Square and Center City, with landmarks including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Franklin Institute, and the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The ride has not started: heading southeast at 156°, speed 0.0 MPH, distance 0.0 miles, elevation 0 feet, and elapsed time 00:00:00; a green “Start ride” button is visible.

A ride-tracking app screen shows speed at 0.0 MPH, elapsed time 00:00:00, distance 0.0 miles, elevation 0 feet, and a southward heading of 161°. A green “Start ride” button appears above navigation tabs for Ride, History, and Settings.

Ride Details screen showing a color-coded route map between Philadelphia and Camden. The ride started at W Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA, and ended at Blair St, Philadelphia, PA, on Friday, October 9, 2026; distance 12.15 miles, elevation gain 390 feet, average speed 10.6 mph, clear weather.

Phone screen showing an “Import from Apple Health” list of workouts in Philadelphia, with selectable orange circles and dates, times, durations, and distances ranging from 4.52 to 10.25 miles. An “Import” button appears at the top right.

The Ben Franklin Bridge really is something

A large suspension bridge spans a dark blue river, with white cables and towers against a clear turquoise sky. High-rise buildings and a low waterfront skyline line the far shore beneath the bridge.

Upward-looking view of a suspension bridge tower and taut suspension cables against a vivid blue sky, with the steel latticework and red main cables prominent on the right.

A silver elevated train marked “1037” travels across a steel suspension bridge above a canal, with city buildings, roads, and trees in the background.

I’m delightfully surprised that Wheelie adopted nicely to the iPhone Duo. Not that I expect a lot of people to have an open Duo mounted on their handlebars.

An iPhone Duo simulator displays a map of Cupertino, California, alongside a cycling dashboard showing 6.3 MPH, 0.0 miles, 0 feet, northeast at 45°, and a green “Start ride” button. The simulator window’s sidebar lists available iPhone devices.

Feels like maybe my rapid review luck is gonna run out on these ones

Watching the tweet happen in real time

Screenshot of an X.com post by “dandelion georgism” (@DandyGeorgism) reading: “Lesbian events: COVID-conscious sober-friendly worker’s climate paint-and-sip for Palestine” and “Gay events: let’s have sex in a hot air balloon.” A quoted reply from “habitual line-stepper” (@alaskastardust) says lesbian events often become a catchall for every issue in the world, unlike events aimed toward gay men.

Being able to have Claude run through your app and validate all your accessibility is basically a superpower

A desktop screenshot shows a dark terminal window titled “Accessibility matrix tests” with notes about accessibility testing and a working status. On the right, an iPhone simulator displays a “Ride Details” screen for Blair St, Philadelphia, with 9.72 mi distance, 379 ft elevation gain, 10.6 mph average speed, and partly cloudy weather.

It’s been a busy month

A dashboard comparison shows two rows under “USAGE” and “BUILDS CREATED.” The first row shows 26h 35m (+1,734%) and 63 builds (+1,575%), while the second shows 9h 29m (+321%) and 119 builds (+264%); blue horizontal bars represent usage.

I’m hoping to launch @bayouapp.space at the end of next month. I think it’s a really, really good Bluesky client, and I especially think Mac users will really enjoy it. bayouapp.space

“Choosin Texas” is a fun, catchy song and it’s weird to be like “wow never heard of it” when we all subscribe to streaming music services and can listen to any song instantly.

And so this is how it ends, not with a wild card but with a rain delay

Apparently you can use Apple Foundation entirely on-device to generate alt text for images.

I’m looking for some True Posters who would like to try Bayou, my new Bluesky client for iOS and macOS, to help me find bugs and get it ready for the App Store. I’m looking for people who will actually use the app and provide feedback. If that’s you, let me know and I will send you the Test Flight.

Aetna has been trying to call me for 3 days, and apparently it’s because they want to tell me that it’s important to take medication as directed? What in the ever loving fuck is this? Shut up and just pay my claims!

I saw a post that there was a new Plex update for Apple TV, so I went to the Plex blog to see if there’s a post about it. There isn’t. But there is… a guide to what order to watch the wizard boy movies in? What? I think it’s time to actually kill my Plex completely.

Also, I know it’s trendy, but the Negroni has also become one of my favorite go-to cocktails. It’s gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth in equal parts. Stir over ice and serve.
