I haven’t looked at your code, but why not use a nil placeholder value when 
binding?  Pass an options dictionary with a key / value pair of 
NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption / <the value you want to use when nil> to the 
-bind:… method, or specify the value for the nil placeholder in the nib.  
Something like:

[datePicker bind: NSValueBinding
  toObject: self
  withKeyPath: @“myDate"
  options: @{ NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption, [NSDate futureDate] }];

Hope that helps...
