At the end of the next month, I’ll be out of work. Yeah, Pompom is ceasing operations. The app will continue on in the app store, but there won’t be a company with full time employees working on it. So if you know anyone looking for

  • a junior macOS/iOS developer
  • a marketing person who can write copy/make videos etc

for a remote or in Krakow job, please let me know.

Current status: moment of popping head above water between shivering and leg pains.

I need to take one of our remaining covid tests but I feel terrible.

Have fun for me!

How I currently feel after trying to make a “simple” solution that “shouldn’t take too long.”

Just arrived in goleneia (the airport closest to Szczecin) for this year’s international Sketchnote Camp.

Real rollercoaster of a landing!

My first post iPhone event working for a company making an Apple app and I get it now. We now know how much time we have left to finalise our iOS 16 release. Sure we can, and will, continue to role out features later but if we want to get featured on release day, we have to make a splash.

On a different note, I’d love to study how Apple handles the logistics of an iPhone release. Getting devices in stock around the world with up to date software.

Made myself a little reminder of this classic quote from @patrickrhone

“Saying No Is Actually Saying Yes To Other Things”

The compatibility of USB C needs a giant “terms and conditions apply” sticker. It’s so tricky to find cables and know they will work with another device.

This week I learned how to make fake latte art because I came up with a terrible Pun about my company’s name. So for your pleasure, here’s the Pompom spiced latte (I actually have some pumpkin spiced syrup and we were going to make this for real as the founder can do latte art. But he’s looking after his kids at home for the next few weeks).

A coffe with the pompom logo in it.

Welcome to autumn and the return of one of my favourite words “Autumnal.”

It just feels like a warm blanket and cup of hot chocolate.
