Take action and send a personal message to companies raiding your wallet. Cast your eyes about your house until they land on something you think - Perhaps I wouldn't miss this if I just stopped buying it.
My first choice was dryer sheets - don't miss the perfume smell, most of my clothes are natural fabric and don't get static, but if there ever is, give it a quick snap when you take it out of the dryer and problem solved.
What would you choose and why?

I started on my #SwiftAppDev journey to build apps that fully used the larger landscape iPad screen. 17 iPad apps later, I have a full suite of interesting things to keep me occupied, puzzle games - good focal points to shift me out of loops, art and music apps for expressing my creative side and one more to create organization and save stuff. Now, in a nod to the iPhone user, I have built small portrait versions of 11 puzzle games, entertaining if I find myself in wait mode while out and about.

It has been a long #SwiftAppDev slog, but all apps are now updated to my current graphics resolution standard - crisp and clear! A trade off to tread between how high the resolution for graphics clarity and the memory and capability of the processors in the hardware. Hardware is very capable of crisp and clear these days. I am not sure why a significant slice of apps still cling to low resolution bleary bits and pieces, my eyes look at that and just get tired trying to distinguish the shapes.

Top of the day, CoSo. The sun is bright and clear today in my spot of the #PacificNW. I soaked up its rays on my south porch in appreciation while listening to the crows caw back and forth. Soon only one still perched in a tall douglas fir tree. I asked - are you enjoying the sun as much as I? - caw! - caw! was the answer. I said how pretty it was when I saw a crow in bright sunlight, feathers buffeted by a gust of wind, flash iridescent purple sparkles. - caw! - ca-caw! - caw! was the answer.

From 1 day ago... Inspiration struck to solve the latest #SwiftAppDev dilemma! I found an acceptable positioning of 3D and 2D controls with no need to reposition the 2D controls. That left finding a way to programmatically mimic the 3D resizing and apply it to their height. I finally struck upon the idea of subtracting a ratio of the total screen height to solve the issue. It held up well thru final testing. The upgrade to my productivity app went in to the apple app store and is now available.

From 2 days ago... todays #SwiftAppDev dilemma: how to get SceneKit 3D controls and a couple of 2D ones (for which I could find no equivalent 3D ones) to be positioned properly together on the screen regardless of resolution changes. The conflict arises because 2D controls are tied to corner 0,0 while 3D controls are anchored to center point 0,0,0 and auto resize to fit the screen. 3D may be more complicated to envision, but is worth it for the flexibility and the broader range of possibilities.

Top of the day, CoSo. Sun slightly filtered by clouds today in my spot of the #PacificNW. The rays of sun hitting my south porch were still plenty to warm me from the outside in while I partook of my meal. Every cell in my body sighed in relaxation, my eyes recalibrated for daytime, my mood more outgoing. Then I hit my limit and a bit too warm - time to leap up to meet my day, to create or fix or solve or think or explore an interesting path.

I couldnt resist expanding my #SwiftAppDev goal after learning to code a custom 3D shape and adding a right triangle shape to my iPad design app for widgets. So in went a custom 3D pillar where you choose 3 to 9 equal length sides for another new shape. A couple of days later than initially planned but the upgrade posted in the apple store this morning.

Top of the day, CoSo. Its back to rain in my spot of the #PacificNW. Rain pattering on the skylight, eaves dripping onto the metal porch roof outside my window, all very relaxing. A good day to look outside while I remain inside - dry and warm and cozy.

Top of the Day, CoSo. Its calm and a sunball is out today in my spot of the #PacificNW. I will be outside this afternoon soaking up sunshine, breathing fresh air and gathering the wind tossed douglas fir branches from my meadows after a breezy yesterday.

Whoo Hoo! - one of my top joys in life - figuring out how to make something work - was accomplished today. Todays #SwiftAppDev goal of figuring out how to code a custom 3D shape is done and a new shape is added to my widget building app upgrade. After test - test - test seems error free, but decided to sleep on it and retest everything in the upgrade again tomorrow before submitting to the store.

Todays #SwiftAppDev goal is to figure out how to code a custom 3D shape, add it to the upgrade for my widget building app - test, test, test - and get the upgrade submitted to the app store tonight.

Top of the Day, CoSo. Its a wild and wooly day here in the #PacificNW - typical winter winds not seen much for the last several years. When it calms down I will be outside once again gathering tossed douglas fir limbs from the front and back meadows.

If someone places an individual in a box, the individual disappears and is now only known as the general collection of traits the label on the box represents.
That someone is now indifferent to that individual, they like or loathe them based only on the label of their box, not the actual individual.
To prevent people from becoming indifferent to each other, the boxes with labels must be put aside.
People must retain their individuality and communicate as individuals with each other.
