What I'm up to...

Programming

I'm still plugging along with programming. Recently, I created espansoGUI, which is exactly what it sounds like--a GUI for the free and open-source text expander, espanso. My next project will probably be a remake of Tyd in SwiftUI.

Tea

About 6 months ago I ditched coffee and switched to tea, and it is something I'm really enjoying. I drink a bowl of matcha in the morning and have a pot (cast iron ~600ml) of green or white tea in the afternoon. It's a bit healthier and has less caffeine than coffee, so I never get the jitters from it.

Apple

Early this year I bought the first Mac I've owned in a long time. The new Apple silicon was just too hard to resist. I ended up going with a MacBook Pro M2 Max and I am, reluctantly, loving it. Update: I am now in the process of buying an iPhone 15 Pro, which will be my first iPhone since the iPhone 5. I've been using Android for the last 7-8 years, so it will be a change.

Location

You may remember that two years ago my wife and I moved all our stuff into a storage unit to travel the world for a couple of years. Well, now that traveling is over and we are living at the edge of the Alps in southern Germany, and we are really loving it.
