This tutorial is a step by step walkthrough for how to use Affinity Designer to create a template for a circle split into 8 equal wedges. This can then be used in designs, or as a starting point for a wider variety of wedge sizes. My personal preference is to use wedges in a circle […]

One of my favorite books, Ready Player One, explores a virtual reality that has taken over the actual reality. Humanity lives in a dystopian world where their escape from their ‘stacks’ – trailer parks built on vertical scaffolding – is the OASIS, a VR game/social network that provides everyone with a magical escape to classic […]

So this was weird. Today, for the first time in my (admittedly short) iOS development career, I managed to completely crash my iPad 2 in the middle of testing an app. I’m not talking an application crash – my iPad just completely froze and would not budge.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I love my new Windows Phone; however, I am finding the lack of apps to be a slight (not huge) inconvenience. My solution? I’m going to start building a few apps of my own. I will mention that I installed the Windows 8.1 release preview about a month ago, […]

Okay guys. I’m starting to think that maybe the end of the semester, “I don’t have much work left to do” time was not the best time to install RescueTime. As it stands, here are my stats for the past week: Yeah. I spent a lot of time on reddit. To be fair, I did […]

My productivity varies wildly from day to day. Throughout the week, I have some really good days where I work for 12 hours straight coding. I also have days where I write one method in Python and call it a day, because those fifteen lines of code took me two hours to write and still […]
