  • Whittling Down The MacBook To An iPad

    M.G. Siegler:

    I suspect this new MacBook will be the last laptop I end up buying. Again, that doesn’t mean the MacBook is dying anytime soon, but I believe this will be the pinnacle of the product. We’ll get spec bumps for years to come. But it will be the long, slow fade we just witnessed with the iPod.

  • Reminder: Photo a Day Project

    Just a reminder that I have started a photo a day project, pretty fun stuff.

  • Unique Photos

    Garrett Murray comparing the X100T to the plethora of other cameras he has used of late:

    It fits better in my hands and it still takes amazingly unique photos.

    I picked up the X100T before the holidays and it has been an amazing tool.

  • It’s Compulsion, Not Obsession

    In part, because I am a nerd, I have a page on my blog where I list things that I’ve found to be the best. I pursue buying the best things in the aspects of my life where I’ve found that I use something very often, or need a new item to replace an old, or broken one. I try many options so that I may eventually say, with some sense of expert confidence, that this is ‘the best’.

    Of course it’s likely only the best if you are me, after all, who’s to say what is the best weather app, radar app, PDF reader, or knife? Not me. It’s all subjective, and we could debate this all day, but it doesn’t matter.

  • Jitouch 2

    I saw this Mac preference pane app in action today, and I was blown away. I am not at my Mac, but this is something I plan on installing the moment I get home.

    You can create custom gestures to do all sorts of things, such as:

    • Three finger tap to close tab.
    • Three finger tap to open link in new window
    • Gesture to fullscreen an app
    • Gesture for positioning apps

    And so much more. Very cool tool.

  • The IKEA Wall-mount Table/Desk

    When I started at MartianCraft (a remote work company) I started at a time when my wife and I had just turned our home office into a playroom for our kids. Whoops. There are few co-working spaces available around me, and those that are, are above my budget for such a space (without offering a very good space).
