A story of regret in two pictures.

Had a great date night with Carissa (plus a bunch of friends from church) at the OKC Starlight Supper last night. It was our third year in a row to go and easily our favorite one yet!

This week, we released RadarScope for Windows 10. I did not work on this release at all, but I got a front row seat to watch the team build it. From a UI perspective, I think that it is the best looking version of RadarScope across any of our platforms¹. It does not have our Pro features yet, but they are coming this year.

If you have a Windows 10 computer, you should pick it up. It is $30 and is available on the Microsoft Store.

Freeze warnings in April are dumb.

The latest episode of Connected has a great discussion about the future of Apple’s OS strategy in light of the Marzipan and ARM Mac rumors. I am completely on board with putting appleOS 1.0 on all of my Apple hardware in a few years.

I made a mistake and re-downloaded the Zillow app 😬

John Gruber:

Amazon’s stock is taking a hit as a result of Trump’s rhetoric, but if I were an Amazon investor, I wouldn’t worry. Jeff Bezos is very, very smart. Donald Trump is not.

The latest episode of 99% Invisible is all about the U.S. military’s attempts at weather modification throughout the 20th century. I had no idea that our weather modification programs were as big as they were.

I look forward to the last day I have to write any OpenGL code.

Caroline Haskins at The Outline:

Eric Floehr of Forecast Watch noted that weather apps are simply meeting the appetite that smartphones naturally create for immediate information. In the case of weather apps, this may not be a good thing for users.

“Forecasts used to be a couple days ahead,” Floehr said. “Now, you’re planning your outing for the weekend on Monday. And you’re [also] just looking an hour out, a minute out. So it’s changing the horizons. The horizons of forecasts are broadening.”

This demand has led to the emergence of minute-by-minute forecasts by services such as Accuweather and DarkSky. Porter said in a phone call that Accuweather has information about neighborhoods on the “block by block level” that makes these forecasts possible. DarkSky did not respond to a request for comment.

However, Spann called these minute-by-minute services a “total scam.”

In my experience, the best way to get a reliable short term precipitation forecast to look at single site radar data and extrapolate from that. I can even recommend a good app for it¹.

Ian King and Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:

Apple is planning to use its own chips in Mac computers beginning as early as 2020, replacing processors from Intel, according to people familiar with the plans.

The initiative, code named Kalamata, is still in the early developmental stages, but comes as part of a larger strategy to make all of Apple’s devices — including Macs, iPhones, and iPads — work more similarly and seamlessly together, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The project, which executives have approved, will likely result in a multi-step transition.

About time. Between this and Marzipan, it sure looks like iOS and macOS are on a collision course. I can’t wait.

After driving back and forth between Norman and OKC six times over the weekend, I am pretty ready to move up there.

Hard to beat an Easter afternoon cuddled up with Indy on the couch with Zac Brown Band playing in the background.
