3. Phase 1 is the Utah Bubble Pledge with the pinnacle event being a world record attempt for the longest soap bubble chain on August 8, 2025 at 8pm (8.8@8). The current Guinness World Record (as of 2019) is 40 bubbles, so Jarom will be attempting at least 40-50 bubbles. The goal is to have at least 40,000 UN1TS pledged per bubble (1 penny = 1 UN1T).
4. Un1ts is a comprehensive unit converter for the Mac. This native app is built with Swift and SwiftUI to support the latest features of macOS. Just enter a value in a field then press the Return key to automatically convert to all units in a category.

I'm a research scientist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. My current work is developing computational models to simulate the fast pyrolysis of biomass in fluidized reactors. This research is part of the Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry for the U.S. DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office. I am also involved in various battery simulation activities as part of the Consortium for Advanced Battery Simulation project. As an enthusiastic developer, I organize the Knoxville CocoaHeads and KnoxPy programming groups. I'm also organizer of the Back to the Mac conference.

Applications

Un1ts. A comprehensive unit converter for the Mac. The original version of the app was written in Objective-C and was temporarily removed from the App Store. I have rereleased Un1ts as a completely new version written in Swift and SwiftUI to support the latest features of macOS. un1ts.html

WeathrClip. WeathrClip provided current weather conditions, 5-day forecast, hourly forecast, and precipitation radar for the Mac and iPhone. I discontinued this app because the Weather Underground API is no longer available.

Books

Swift Programming for macOS. There are plenty of books, videos, and online resources for developing iOS apps. Despite the fact that iPhone and iPad apps require a Mac for code development, there is little information about actually creating native Mac applications. This book demonstrates various aspects of modern Mac app development using the latest versions of Swift and SwiftUI. Hopefully the examples will provide a useful resource for Mac developers. [Read]

Pythonic Programming. There are numerous resources for learning Python but sometimes you just want to see a straightforward example of the language. This book is a collection of code examples using the Python programming language. [Read]
