Month: January 2017

Anyone who’s worked at a whiteboard knows that it’s a great place to experiment with ideas. Being able to quickly get rid of mistakes is just as important as capturing a thought. You know your fingers will be dirty at the end of a good session. You can snag Linea here. It’s a really well […]

Swati Khandelwal: This is the second time in around two months when researchers have discovered flaws in Netgear routers. Just last month, the US-CERT advised users to stop using Netgear’s R7000 and R6400 routers due to a serious bug that permitted command injection. I love the new Netgear routers, but I wouldn’t use one at […]

Laurel Raymond reporting on the reaction to Democrats delaying nominations: “We did not inflict this kind of obstructionism on President Obama,” said Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), one of the other two senators in the room. Toomey labeled the Democrats’ boycott “a completely unprecedented level of obstruction. This is not what the American people expect of […]

Jim Brunner: State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said he will file a federal lawsuit Monday seeking to invalidate key provisions of President Trump’s executive order temporarily barring all refugees and immigration by citizens of seven majority Muslim countries. I’ve been particularly proud of how Washington State politicians are reacting to Trump. From the Governor, to […]

Philip Bump: My colleague Aaron Blake has a running tally of where Republican members of Congress stand on the most immediately controversial of those issues: the immigration travel ban. We’re going to take that a step further. Using the Sunlight Foundation’s tool to identify legislators by Zip codes, we’re detailing where the people who represent […]

Managers, why aren’t you using an iPad Pro already?

Aaron Bycoffe: The Trump score is a simple percentage showing how often a senator or representative supports Trump’s positions. To calculate it, we add the member’s “yes” votes on bills that Trump supported and his or her “no” votes on bills that Trump opposed and then divide that by the total number of bills the […]

One thing people seem to have missed is that “make American great again” doesn’t mean the same thing to Trump as it does to literally anyone else in the world. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Michael Nutter: We see all of these purposely hurtful, distracting and egomaniacal tactics for what they are — publicly available literature would indicate that you may apparently be displaying signs of malignant narcissism and narcissistic leadership . Apparently?

This is terrifying. And no, it’s not talking about removing power from fuckface.

Quick note about a great app.

This isn’t the crazy Silicon Valley prepped post everyone has been sharing, no this is a far more realistic take on the matter. Michael McGrath for GQ on his Bug-Out-Bag: My BOB organizes my anxiety; it gives shape and focus to my dread. It reminds me not to take things for granted, and underlines the […]

Jamelle Bouie: This isn’t just cause for schadenfreude; it is an important revelation: constant, high-profile criticism works. Protest works. Yep, you should see my two year old freak the fuck out when I just keep telling her “no”.

My love note to the future of OmniOutliner.

Oh, the frustration is real.

Ken Case: One of the ways in which we can do that is to improve the way we interact with the apps to have a more efficient user experience. For example, we can make better use of iPad Pro’s larger screen by replacing some of the popovers in our interface with slide-in panels on the […]

Marius Masalar on OmniFocus users: The second group of people manage their tasks like monks manage their religion. Completing tasks is almost an unhappy occurence for them, because the more they get done, the less they have to tag, file, order, annotate, schedule, and otherwise micromanage. As far as I can tell, this second group […]

Supremely comfortable pants.

I really want that Westworld tablet/phone thing. Also some follow up on Workflow.
