Ok, here we go. Cracks Knuckles

The title of this post is an understatement. One of my favorite places to shop right now is Walgreens. Why? Because they have somehow managed to unfuck the current payment system. I can not only use Apple Pay quickly and easily, but my loyalty card is setup to work with Apple Pay too. Walk in, […]

Some insight into how I am working iOS only.

Om Malik: Yahoo is a perfect illustration of how large Internet companies die—by fading into irrelevance. A healthy Internet service possesses three qualities: it encourages habit formation; it appeals to a younger demographic, which can age alongside it; and it displays evidence of growth.

I’ve used more duct tape in the past few months, than I have in the past few years.

Life on the road with just a GR2? Yes please.

Jason Snell: If you want to turn your iPad into a nearly four-pound black laptop with mechanical keyswitches, this is the product for you. LOL

Holy heel balls, these are amazing socks.

I never thought I would be so excited about a pair of shorts.

Manton Reece on the troubles of working from home during the summer: I’d add to his list: you might have kids at home who open your office door whenever they want. My home office is currently shared with anyone who wants to use the extra iMac or printer, and the kids often need rides to […]

Everything about this passage is a big yep in my book: A quick poll of my fellow Basecampers revealed that having no commute is their favourite thing about working from home, and the biggest block against considering coworking. I’m lucky in that the space I ran was down one flight of stairs from our apartment […]

Once again, strong reasons for using more iOS and less macOS.

Manton Reece with a great line: Companies aren’t exactly designed to fail. But that is their default outcome.

I did something similar during November when wrote over 50,000 words. It was hugely beneficial and something I am trying to start again as my writing time has become more of a back burner task of late.

I love the fabric, and am still amazed at how large this bag packs.

Interesting post about the process of going from a take everything to a take very little traveler. I will say, he still packs a lot of stuff. But the fact he fits it all in the Aeronaut 45 is really impressive to me.

Ben Bajarin: For years I had been writing about the need for better predictive intelligence in our software. It seems ridiculous that my smartphone does not know more about my context and take relevant actions on my behalf. If I’m in a meeting, send all calls to VM or send a text message. If I’m […]

It’s amazing how quickly having two iPads becomes a natural thing.

It’s so little, so easy to carry, but so tiny to type on.

User MooReview: Given that there was no exhaustive guide on nail clippers and thesweethome’s top pick recommends the nickle-plated Muji’s (good but not great) and the awful tweezerman barrel spring nail nipper, we thought we would get snipping to see if we could find something better. This is how you spend a Friday night. And […]
