iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Zandalee?? I'm glad the article actually acknowledges how messy that movie is, almost feels like the characters are written to be aliens learning how to navigate human emotions.

Haven't posted much about Trophikos lately, but I've been busy! Lots of UI polish to make everything look great on the Duo! Still got a ways to go, and making some nice, meaningful upgrades to Logging too... #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #iPhoneDuo #SwiftUI

Had to really sit and think about this. I picked my absolute favorite or most important entries for Zelda, Pokemon, and RE. Otherwise I picked based on how formative or important some of these games have been to me. #my9games

Perfect Sunday morning, making progress through Castlevania: SoTN thanks to Gamma on my iPad Air. It’s kind of amazing to me still that Apple finally opened up and officially allowed emulators on the #AppStore.

it’s a nice relief to get my iOS 27 update for Trophikos out the door. made a lot of meaningful updates to importing, and siri usability. already got some minor follow up work planned. I’ll attempt to address the Duo layouts when the updates are out.

I’ve been thinking about all this since the event, Apple has taken a product we’ve come to know and trust, and with this set of features, turned it into an always listening AI wearable…sure it can be turned off but still. I was going to get a Series 12 but I think I’ll just pass.

what’s going to happen when you have a live activity, let’s say a timer, present on your folded iphone ultra, and then you open the folded screen… are they going to simulate a dynamic island on both screens? #iOSDev #iPhone

After the weird Halide Mk III launch, I’ve been experimenting with some other “Pro” camera apps on my 17 Pro Max. Gotta say, Moment Pro Camera ii and its natural processing and raw output are pretty stellar. These are some lightly edited ProRaw files. #ShotOniPhone #iPhonePhotography
