Broken Xcode 4 project templates
The other day I received a crash report from one of my projects that included a symbolicated crash log. This was very strange as I've never received a symbolicated crash log for an iOS project; I've always had to match it up with the dSYM file that I've stored away. After a little research, I found that some settings in the project didn't strip out the debug symbols. I found an older article on Apple's developer site that seemed to address this. I flipped on the switches and the project size dropped by 500K which would make sense.

The end of a long (banking) relationship
Almost 20 years ago, I opened a bank account with Security Pacific right before I started college. Security Pacific merged with (the now) Bank of America while I was still in college, so I became a Bank of America customer. I continuously had an account with Bank of America since then, but last year I moved all of my accounts as my free account was going away (it was tied to my mortgage that I moved). I hung onto a free account to keep the ability to have a safe deposit box there.

Artistic picture taken by a 4 year old
As I was working today, me Eye-Fi app downloaded some pictures that my son was taking in the other room. I saw one of them and was quite impressed by the composure of the picture. While I'm sure my son had no idea what he was doing, I thought it was cool.

Failure to check return Location Manager values
Last night I downloaded the Bing for iPad app and it looks quite interesting. However, I ran into a problem that shows a failure for the developers to properly handle an error condition. I told it to use my current location and it said I was over 500 miles away from my home. The location was where I was a few weeks ago. I switched to the Maps app and that app said it was unable to determine the location. A quick device reset fixed everything including Bing, but the fact that Bing didn't know where I was got me thinking about what caused it. (My WiFi router is registered with Skyhook, so my iPad will always return my house's location when it asks for the location if I'm home.)
