For 13 years I worked&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\">Apple<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.apple.com\/cocoa\">Cocoa<\/a>, mostly doing UI implementation in AppKit, such as NSTableView, NSWindow, and NSVisualEffectView. &nbsp;I also did quite a bit of work in UIKit &#8211; mainly on the early iPhone releases starting back when it was a secret project (Purple or P2), but also helping with the first few versions of the public SDK after that. I wrote and&nbsp;worked&nbsp;on the base classes, such as UILabel and UITableView. You may recall seeing me at WWDC in the labs, or up on stage giving a talk. Before Apple, I worked at Borland, primarily on Delphi, doing user interface work. I also wrote a full fledged refactoring engine for the Object Pascal language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m now a part time professional woodworker and artist, selling my work over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinsworkshop.com\">Corbin&#8217;s Workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCe4gRaBr14cAn6WKKyaUD-A\">my YouTube channel<\/a>&nbsp;where I have a bunch of interesting videos. Cool playlists: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iebLNSt-1nA&amp;list=PLqbMbcTzG1FfiElaCsumM7N4jIE70vv_x\">DIY Kitchen Cabinets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mblB7vywz8c&amp;list=PLqbMbcTzG1FcI2oa72iamNLGElnaDhNwO\">Cyr Wheel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rqdx3AYNCwk&amp;list=PLqbMbcTzG1FcXcve9IEqAvIS_yTsbsj-g\">Unicycling<\/a>&nbsp;(including the Arizona Trail adventure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/unicycling\/\">unicycling<\/a> a lot, and seem to be somewhat decent at long distance unicycling. &nbsp;There is an international competition (UNICON) every two years, and in&nbsp;<a href=\"\/blog\/2010\/01\/unicycle-marathon-world-champion\/\">2010<\/a> I became the <a href=\"\/blog\/2010\/01\/unicon-marathon-race-details\/\">Marathon Unicycle World Champion<\/a>! In 2012 I went to UNICON in Italy; I got 3rd in the marathon, 10km and 100km races; the competition was much tougher! &nbsp;In 2020 I had the opportunity to be a professional unicyclist and appeared in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/professional-mountain-unicyclist-tv-commercial-work\/\">commercial for Xfinity Wireless<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2011 I grew interested in the Cyr wheel. It is a circus art, also known as roue cyr or simple wheel. I enjoy making my own wheels, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=34YapqVpsOc\">LED cyr wheel<\/a>. I have a <a href=\"\/blog\/2015\/03\/cyr-wheel-tutorials-the-list\/\">cyr few tutorials<\/a>, and a page for <a href=\"\/blog\/2012\/10\/where-to-buy-a-cyr-wheel-roue-cyr\/\">where to buy a wheel<\/a>&nbsp;for people who want to get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like traveling and seeing the world. I&#8217;ve been to Europe, Vietnam, Indonesia, Africa, Madagascar, India, Nepal, and New Zealand. I&#8217;m hoping to go many more places and I absolutely love adventures. &nbsp;I really like the mountains, and the snow capped mountains in Nepal and Switzerland really captivate my interest. Camping is gobs of fun for me, and I&#8217;ll go on solo trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also like <a href=\"\/blog\/woodworking\/\">woodworking<\/a>, <a href=\"\/blog\/machining\/\">metalworking<\/a>\/machining, rock climbing and building things. I like <a href=\"\/blog\/treehouse\/\">treehouses<\/a>, and lived in one for about five years. Back in 2000 I appeared on a TV show called Weird Homes where they featured my treehouse that I built. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kX70cMbY_II\">Watch the episode here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things I built are the <a href=\"\/blog\/2010\/03\/recumbent-unicycle\/\">recumbent unicycle<\/a> and <a href=\"\/blog\/2010\/05\/tandem-unicycle-practice\/\">tandem unicycle<\/a>. I like working with my hands and I&#8217;m skilled at many things.&nbsp;I love being outdoors. Yosemite is one of my favorite places in the world. I have a passion for animals.&nbsp;I have a kitty cat named Ichigo, some pet fish, and worms. I used to have chickens, but they disappeared&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to live in the Santa Cruz mountains, and I did a lot of home remodeling on the house, dubbed <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/project-hutchinson\/\">Project Hutchinson<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also enjoy <a href=\"\/blog\/photography\/\">photography<\/a>, and especially like nature photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m particularly fond of electric cars, and how they are good for our environment. My 1969 <a href=\"\/blog\/plug-bug\/\">electric VW bug<\/a> conversion is my pride and joy, and I&#8217;m happy to share all the build details with everyone. I\u2019ve also got a Tesla Model S that I drive around in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/Dunn11-449x590.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"590\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/Dunn11-449x590.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/Dunn11-449x590.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/Dunn11-449x590-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago I got reacquainted with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burningman.com\">Burning Man<\/a> and really enjoy the art and experiences that the playa provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get ahold of me, my email is: corbin at corbinstreehouse dot com.
