Tomorrow it will have been 12 years since #SteveJobs passed away. Shortly after his death I wrote a reflection on how #Apple had impacted my life. Resharing here. Since then I’ve also been teaching iOS #Swift developers at Boston College, where I’m a professor, hopefully helping hundreds more (thousands via YouTube) to leverage Apple to reach their goals. Soar! 🦅 https://gallaugher.com/rungs-on-the-ladder-personal-reflections-on-the-passing-of-steve-jobs/
What a journey! Demoted adjunct professor shunned by her institution wins Nobel Prize with an innovation that saves millions of lives. https://apple.news/Ajrp2Ov36R4q-XFjiJFTSTg
My former students remember our "United Breaks Guitars" example when covering Social Media. Well, former American Idol contestant Jax has shown how TikTok changes the vitality game. Learn how "I know Victoria's Secret," a feminist anthem and scathing critique of the firm, went wildly viral, leveraging that platform's ability to share and remix content. The firm's response and Jax's follow up provides a great example of how corporate critique can blindside an organization. https://open.substack.com/pub/profgallaugher/p/i-know-victorias-secret-jax-and-the?r=2ra1y&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
@a164b6a4 the filter is on an arm so I can slide it out when I don’t need it. I’ll use the light when there is no natural light or not much, and the filter when I’m below 3m but still have decent natural light. I will run tests though since I’m new to this. The light is only 4000 lumens and a 100° cone so it’s likely only useful for up close work. Hopefully I have some good options covered but I’ll be sure to post results.
I bought a Divevolk Sea Touch Max 4 Housing for iPhone for a trip to the Galapagos. This is one of the best reviewed iPhone housings out there. It allows full phone touch-screen access so you don't need to pair a housing over bluetooth & you can use any photo app with all of its features. I opted for the kit with the 4000 lumen light. I'll be sure to post videos so you can see how it performed. #Scuba #iPhone #Divevolk

Flooding in NYC. I grew up outside of NYC and lived in an area prone to flooding in NJ but we’ve never had anything like this in the City. https://apple.news/AQg3oq-H8Q1-hDHi6YClrJw
SciFi has taken up the "colony collapse" trope that bees are in danger. Apparently it's not true - there are more bees on the planet than ever before. Also: conspiracy theorists should note the NYT published this piece. There's hardly some sort of cabal hiding press that goes against a conservation narrative. When truth is found, it'll be reported on. When corrections need to be made, they will be https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/19/business/beekeeping-companies-colony-collapse.html
In Boston we’ve had one of our rainiest summer months ever and September feels like near constant rain. I’m wondering if climate change means Boston is becoming Seattle. Although I think Seattle summers are drier than the one we’ve had.
Do you teach Social Media? Here's a quick, stats-loaded pice on "The Swiftening" w/Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce. This'll be in v.10 of my textbook Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology, published by FlatWorld. Feel free to share with others! https://open.substack.com/pub/profgallaugher/p/taylor-travis-nfl-tiktok-gold?r=2ra1y&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #BizTechBook #FlatWorld #SocialMedia #TaylorSwift #NFL #TravisKelce #TikTok #Business #Management #Education
Do you have any favorite examples of successful, results-oriented TikTok use by organizations? I’m sifting through examples for a new section of my IS Textbook & welcome suggestions. Planning on the NFL Taylor Swift example but welcome your favs, too.
Oh, please. Angry English Major writes a poorly framed schadenfreude piece on the falling value of Computer Science. I’ve already lived through many similar predictions from the uninformed such as “outsourcing will kill all the tech jobs” https://apple.news/AuxzHmdSJQTameT4H2rFWMw
I wish there were some easy UI driven resolutions to the common “repository is out of date” when trying to push from #Xcode to GitHub. I find this always trips up new students. Would like a one click “forget what’s in the current repo and commit & push what I have locally” since that’s almost always what they want to do.
Boston College bought Pine Manor College and is turning it into a ladder for climbing the American Dream. This summer Boston-area high schoolers attended a free residential program combining academic preparation in English, mathematics, and science with overnight adventures, field trips, and volunteer experiences. Joy Moore & Erick Berrelleza, S.J. are forces for good and advancing the BC mission. https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/sites/bc-news/articles/2023/fall/year-two-of-the-academy.html
Back in 2021 there were several articles about CAID, China's answer to Apple's ATT/IDFA for App Tracking. I haven't found anything recent. Is CAID dead? Does anyone have any references? Thanks! #Privacy #China #App
Updating a chapter on "Understanding Software" and am stating clearly that LLMs won't make programming go away, instead they will turn most everyone into a programmer. An even more vital skill is the ability to understand code, to be able to effectively follow the logic of and evaluate generated code, and understand if and how generated code will be incorporated into larger systems. LLMs can already generate knowledge worker. [1]
