I love this model.

You don’t see many people rocking the Echo, but it’s a great bag. Just a bit too small for my abnormally long back.

Giving Pocket a go and how I keep the budget in check with GTD.

Dan Goodwin: In a blog post disclosing the vulnerability, the researchers included most of the code required to exploit the vulnerability. A competent developer would need 20 to 60 minutes to supply the missing portion. With that, the developer could build a smartphone app that could silently break into any existing VT20i safe in seconds, […]

Quick tip on getting a smell out of your GORUCK bag.

Shawn Blanc: A good camera will only become obsolete if you neglect it or else outgrow it. I stopped with my X100T. I’d love to upgrade it, but I couldn’t tell you the last time I used it. The iPhone X camera is fantastic. So is the X100T.

Om Malik: This isn’t going to end because the publications are still trying to pump out as much content, get as many falling dollars and prostitute themselves in the name of growth. Marketers will keep pushing their clients and making them influencers.

Even bigger news: the UI won’t make you hate life, like say Hulu’s UI does.

MarsEdit was a staple of my Mac days. I’ll always love this app.

Mark Crump: Your identity can be wrapped up in “that guy who went iPad-only. Inevitably, you hear from all the people who gave you grief about it two years ago with an extra helping of “told you so.” So, being able to publicly and critically assess whether a tool works for you, and change course […]

Side note on “the best” things in life.

Shawn Blanc: Also, after nearly a decade of using Simplenote, I’m giving Bear a try. Bear is, without a doubt, far more polished and sophisticated than Simplenote. But it’s the — ahem — simplicity of Simplenote that has always been its charm. I loathe Bear, but many like it. Notes is the best Note taking […]

By the way, we’ve also released 3.2.4 for iPad, which adds some basic shortcutsfor external keyboards. We hope you enjoy these updates! I didn’t realize this was added, but this makes me very happy. I gave Things shit for a long time, but Things 3 is the best productivity app you can get.

iPad size choices and a Workflow sync issue.

Christina Bonnington: First, you choose a car—in its case, a pre-owned vehicle less than three years old—and then you choose a monthly mileage package ranging from 500 miles to unlimited. Additional miles add to your monthly subscription cost, but like some smartphone data plans, if you don’t use all the miles you paid for, they’ll […]

This is a solid primer on the how and why of Bitcoin’s value.

Looking for a new watch for harder use, but which still looks pretty.

Massdrop has my favorite flashlight right now. It’s not very bright, at 110lumens, but it is so close to perfect. It feels amazing in hand and the CRI is great. Highly recommend. $36.99 is a good deal.

Fuck putting this into an iPhone, give me my Westworld phone/tablet.

Studying and notes with iPads, typefaces, and writing themes.
