📺 Finished the season of Shōgun last night and wow did I enjoy it! I know I’m late to this show, but got reminded of it due to the Golden Globes.

Now feeling a little sad there’s no more to watch until whenever season 2 comes out.

Towards the end of the presentation, he showed off the Dock. You all know the Dock, it’s been at the bottom of your Mac screen for what feels like forever (if you keep it in the correct location, anyway). I should know – I had spent the previous 18 months or so as the main engineer working away on it. At that very moment, I was watching from a cubicle in Apple Cork, in Ireland. For the second time in my short Apple career, I said a quiet prayer to the gods of demos, hoping that things didn’t break. For context, I was in my twenties at this point and scared witless.

Here’s the development story of the first version of the Dock!

Celebrating a moment of nerdy victory: took apart my coffee grinder to deep clean it and accidentally broke the wiring to the button that activates it. 😱

But got out the soldering iron, resoldered the wire, and it works again! 😎
