Tot 2.0 is Here
The Opal C1 Webcam is meant to be the webcam everybody actually wants to use. It\’s got tons of software features and a better lens system than anything you\’d find in most (all?) other webcams. It\’s time for me to kick the tires…

About that Rumored Orange iPhone Pro
For years I’ve been bemoaning Apple’s failure to use interesting non-muted colors on the iPhone Pro. It appears this year Apple may be calling my bluff with an orange iPhone Pro. Orange!
If true, it will be hard to put that beauty in a case.

Democratizing CarPlay Ultra
CarPlay Ultra barely exists at this point in the $200K Aston Martin. The latest rumor has Hyundai putting it in the upcoming (and affordable) $35,000 Hyundai Ioniq 3.
We own the Kia EV6, which is somewhat adjacent to the Hyundai EV’s and the second screen in those cars will be ideal for something like CarPlay Ultra. Moreover, I’ve spent time looking at the Hyundai dashes and I’m certain anything Apple does will be far superior.
While I don’t expect CarPlay Ultra to become as popular as vanilla CarPlay, I hope it gets used enough to remain viable. Car makers are generally pretty terrible at UI.
Going Deep on Disneyland
Baptism By Fire in the App Store
So, it turns out there was a bug in the initial No List app code causing some users to lose entries. So the one-star reviews came pouring in. I do find that the more time I spend on this hobby project, the more empathy I have for my app developer friends. Either way, version 1.1 fixes the memory bug and you should be good to go now with The No List.
