Today I am joined by Patrick Rhone of Minimal Mac and The Cramped, as we discuss putting our glowing rectangles down, and using an actual pen for writing. Bonus content: Patrick takes me to task over my often lack of editing my blog posts. Thanks to Hoban Cards for sponsoring.

This is the only option for ridding yourself of spam.

An outstanding post from John Carey on the state of photography: Your tool of choice is your choice. Spend money on a camera, or not, but don’t do it to feel more confident or to fit in. Buy a camera that suits your lifestyle. Really love this, be sure to make time to soak it […]

Angelica Asadi: I grew up imagining I could do anything that any one of my brothers could do. Society decided to disagree with me and threw obstacles in my way. A person was at every corner telling me that I could not achieve all that I dream of because I was born the wrong gender. […]

It’s time to start taking back the time sucking activities we all love to indulge in.

“Being opinionated and shipping the truest form of your vision of software doesn’t assure success.” — Guy English

Regaining the patience that I once had, and which I desperately need now.

This week I am joined by Bryan Clark, a mobile designer at Starbucks and creator of Blixt — the best App.net client ever. We talk about mobile design life as an indie, versus at a large corporation. We also dive into our iOS 8 dreams. I really love this episode. Thanks to Hoban Cards and […]

Very cool tool (see Patrick Welker’s description). The main reason I like this over Geektool: I can style it using CSS and that is awesome.

Nice video talking about the two most important features of a to-do list app: adding tasks and checking them off.

Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Devereaux: “We’re getting into Minority Report territory when being friends with the wrong person can mean the government puts you in a database and adds DMV photos, iris scans, and face recognition technology to track you secretly and without your knowledge,” says Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s […]

Think of this like a personal, self-hosted, version of Day One. It’s really nice, and really neat. In particular I like that I can have different projects to organize. Right off the bat I created a “shots” project to save snapshots of the kids that I like, and a “thoughts” project to save snippets of […]

Alex Mayyasi: It seems counterintuitive, but it’s a formula Americans should love: Raise speed limits, make roads safer. Interesting read on how speed limits are set. I’d also point out that people perceive driving faster as more dangerous so a couple factors of faster speed limits could also come into play: Better focus when on […]

“As noble as you may believe your pursuit of excellence is, it means nothing if you go home at night to people who do not recognize you or want you around.” — CJ Chilvers

Glad this exists, I get a lot of questions everyday about how to do just this.

I try out the Lesser Photographer approach and find that, once again, I focused on the gear and not the content.

Tim Carmody on OKCupid fuckery: You can't on one hand tell us to pay no attention when you change these things on us, and with the other insist that this is what we've really wanted to do all along. I mean, fuck me over, but don't tell me that I really wanted you to fuck […]

This week I am joined by Bradley Chambers as we talk about iPads. In education, in offices, and how the App Store is changing for good and bad. This week we are sponsored by: Delight is in the Details and Begin app.
