I’ve started a new newsletter, and it is ad supported. I’d love it if you signed up, it’s a weekly affair. Here’s a taste from this week’s: I wasn’t going to mention all the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Fire Editions, but umm, well it burned a Jeep to the ground (and if the story couldn’t…

I texted Shawn on Tuesday to see if he wanted to do a special show, and amazingly we both had time to fit it in. We talk about the iPhone 7 stuff, as well as paying for new devices. Shawn also explains math to me. All in all: good times.

I had a lot of fun filling in for Federico. A huge thanks to Federico and Fraser for having me as a guest. We dive into 2Do but also talk about my iPad only journey.

I’ve posted four bags for sale. I’ll be posting my MacBook on that page Monday. Keep an eye on it from time to time. Some great deals on some of my bags. Pretty much all of them can be considered in excellent condition.

Really great app, now on the Mac. What I like best: you get a lot of control over it, and it syncs your settings from iOS. Whitelist a site on iOS, it is whitelisted on your Mac. Love that.

One last reminder that the membership drive ends today at 5pm PST. There’s also one other thing: the quarterly membership plan ($7/quarter) is currently way cheaper than all other plans.

I wrote a little pocket knife review for Tools and Toys on the James Brand County knife. It’s is simply gorgeous.

Steven Petrow: That was last week, when the standoff between the FBI and Apple seemed much more about principle than practice to me. That’s when I thought I’d write a column on whether this legal fight matters to regular folk — people like my mother, a retired social worker; my best friend, who works in…

Erin Brooks on the camera she stole from me: It’s so easy to use. Even not knowing all of the technical rules about cameras and photography, a person would be able to get fabulous shots using this camera. There aren’t a lot of settings that I need to tinker with, so I can have a basic understanding…

Sign up to get on the beta for the iPhone and iPad Pro. It’s really great.

Over on The Syndicate, we published the second part of Nick Keppol’s deep dive on San Francisco — and man did I learn some stuff about the typeface.

Matt Gemmell: That was a shitty thing for me to do, because having a following doesn’t just make patronage work, or let you take creative risks in product monetisation; it’s also a responsibility. Now, that sucks, because you can’t possibly be held accountable for the actions of every sociopath who happened to click the Follow…
