Year: 2019

That thing where people stereotype developers really hard, and usually not accurately. And other stuff too.

A fantastic, no-fuss, weekend watch.

Let’s talk about Apple Maps and why with ‘one weird trick’ they could actually compete against Google Maps.

Let’s talk about a iPhone, iPadOS, and blocking podcast ads.

These are the items worthy of your hard earned money.

Imelda forced me to use government tools and then i realized they are pretty accurate. Huh.

That thing where I again tell people it is insanity to live in Silicon Valley/SF.

The whole patina thing, and why I choose a lesser bag.

That thing when you don’t know how to remote work so you turn to me for the stuff people don’t wan to talk about…

A really great value for a casual watch with a waterproof leather strap.

A really nice Explorer homage, which comes tantalizingly close to being my everyday watch.

In mildly interesting items from this past week, we shall explore many thoughts on iPads today.

Perhaps the best knife option if you oddly only want to own one knife.

Let’s talk about which backpack is the best for certain things, and then get to the point: your heart wants what it wants.

That thing when you buy the grossest sounding Kolache, but then have a life changing experience eating it.

That thing where I point out why Wirecutter has gone down hill, and more.

Oh my, we have some seriously fantastic bags on our hands. Warm up your credit cards.

Talking a lot about iPads this week, come gather round.

While the GR1 (even in black) has hit $295, the GR2 is at an insanely low price of $355. I have a 34L already but I took this opportunity to pick up a 40L. Can’t beat that price. If you have a 26L GR1, get the 40. Otherwise get the 34L, fantastic bag.

I still use a Mac at work form time to time, but that’s mostly Outlook’s fault.
