Swift, macOS and iOS developer, trainer, and songwriter. Front man of James Dempsey and the Breakpoints. Occasional quip vendor.
Twenty-five years ago today, I nervously stepped out onto the stage at WWDC 2001 and performed a humorous original song about software development.
The audience was both forgiving and enthusiastic and I have been writing songs and performing ever since.
I'm very grateful for those few minutes a quarter century ago and all they have led to through the years.
I hope you can make it out to our 25th anniversary show on June 11th!
Come celebrate 25 years of James Dempsey and the Breakpoints at LIVE near WWDC on Thursday, June 11th!
This year's a throwback to early LIVE near WWDC shows with free admission and a cash bar!
If you're in the Bay Area for WWDC, come on by for the show.

Who in my generation can forget growing up with Saturday mornings filled with the riveting drama of Hong Kong Phooey?
Adam TowAt Deep Dish Swift, I tried something a little different—I controlled my entire slide deck using just my voice.
No clicker. Just speaking naturally.
I wrote up how it worked, including the setup with my app Action Phrase, an iPhone, ESP32, and Keynote running on an iPad mini:
