About
Corbin Dunn. I’m currently 34 (in 2012). I work at Apple on Cocoa.
I enjoy unicycling a lot, and seem to be somewhat decent at long distance unicycling. There is an international competition (UNICON) every two years, and in 2010 I became the Marathon Unicycle World Champion! In 2012 I went to UNICON in Italy; I got 3rd in the marathon, 10km and 100km races; the competition was much tougher!
I really like traveling and seeing the world. I’ve been to Europe, Vietnam, Indonesia, Africa, Madagascar, and New Zealand. I’m hoping to go many more places.
I also like woodworking, metalworking/machining, rock climbing and building things. I like treehouses, and lived in one for about five years. Some things I built are the recumbent unicycle and tandem unicycle. I like working with my hands and I’m skilled at many things. I love being outdoors. Yosemite is one of my favorite places in the world. I have a passion for animals. I have a bengal kitty named Kika, some fish, and some chickens.
I live in the Santa Cruz mountains, and I enjoy working on my house, dubbed Project Hutchinson.
I also enjoy photography, and especially like HDR landscape photos.
I’m particularly fond of electric cars, and how they are good for our environment.
I dabble in circus arts — mainly playing with roue cyr (also known as the cyr wheel). I’ve taken quite an interest in it. Here’s a performance from 2013 at What is Erotic.
My friend Anita Stubenrauch took some cool pictures of me and did an interview here at Indoor Boys. This is one of my all time favorite pictures. Thanks Anita!!
More about me: I like to visit big cities, but I can’t ever live in them. I like to garden and have my space in the country. I sometimes write poetry, mostly for individual people. This was my favorite, but I spent a lot more time writing this one and I like it more now.
Last year I got reacquainted with Burning Man and really enjoy the art and experiences that the playa provides.
At Apple, some of the things I’ve done a lot of work on NSTableView, NSOutlineView, NSSavePanel, NSOpenPanel, some NSBrowser things, the color picker (for a while), NSPathControl (a new class I wrote), and various other stuff. It’s a ton of fun, and I really enjoy working at Apple. I also worked on the iPhone 1.0 for a while — I was on the project before it was announced, and it was a ton of fun working on a “secret” project at apple. I also did some work on the beta SDK for the iPhone 2.0 update. All of my work was on Cocoa Touch (UIKit) – the UI framework for developing applications on the iPhone.
