Federico Viticci: The iPad is on the cusp of becoming a completely new computer. This is not an overstatement. Anyone who uses the iPad enough has known for a long time that the device could be capable of a lot more, and iOS 9 is Apple's answer. Very exciting stuff.

My poor, lonely, iPhone.
I didn’t know what to expect, and in a lot of ways I still don’t know what to expect, from the Apple Watch. I’m a person who wears a watch everyday, so looking at my wrist for the time is habit. And like many others, I wasn’t sure I wanted an Apple Watch, well I wanted one, but wasn’t convinced I needed one.
Still, I got one.
And it is, by far, smaller than I thought it would be. I thought it would be some bulbous G-Shock style gadget, but it’s small and sleek. So sleek that my chronograph automatic sits off my wrist higher.

Speaking of new apps, this is a great new app that I have been testing. It shows you if there is anything using your microphone or webcam. Love it.

Today we (at MartianCraft) launched Re:quest, an app I have been working on for the past two and a half months with a very talented team of people. It’s a free app and very useful. Give it a download and see what you think. UPDATE: We wrote about the launch on the MartianCraft blog.

I asked my wife to explain how she took this photo, damn if I don’t see things the way she does.

My wife is going to presenting at the San Francisco Apple Store on June 10th, at 6:00pm. Take a look at the linked page to make a reservation.

All of which, oddly, brings me back to the Fuji X100T. This dinky little camera represents an opportunity to spit in the eye of the Myth of More, even though it means you would have to buy yet another camera in order to hawk up a smug gob of gooey austerity of your own. Tasteless, I know, and worse yet, hypocritical. Get over it.
Damn good “review”.
The game of random as shit c-level titles.
The title of ‘Chief Design Officer’ is, at best, amorphous, but most likely: bullshit. That’s not to say that real people don’t hold these positions, but rather that even Wikipedia struggles to conjure more than a vague description of the relatively new role. In fact, Wikipedia knows of only four companies in the world that has someone occupying this position.
Mike Bates: Many of the early press reviews of the watch threw in a point or two about the Sport Band, but I'm of the opinion that even the cheapest band in Apple's collection is deserving of it's own review. I love the sport band so far. And for what it's worth I find the…

I love the sport band so far. And for what it's worth I find the best way to keep it clean is to shower with the watch on. But then again the watch isn't waterproof so maybe mine is special and that's why I've had no problems showering with mine everyday.

Looks like a nice workshop from Mike. He might be the most disciplined guy I know.

AKA: God’s camera.
When I first entered into photography I was never happy, as I didn’t like the delay between snapping an image and waiting to seeing the image after it was developed. I am far too impatient for that. Then digital came about, and while I was slow on the uptake, once I got a dSLR I acquired gear faster than I acquired money. A common problem for photographers, hobbyist or otherwise.
At the start of 2014, more than a year ago, I had a massive kit of photography gear. I had Canon full-frame gear, micro four-thirds gear, and of course the Fujifilm gear. It was madness. The Canon setup had four lenses, three lenses for micro four-thirds, and just one lens on Fuji.
I hate the little bastards, maybe because I hate the fact I still need one.
Since the first time I had to install and setup a printer on my own, I’ve hated the little bastards. A couple of nights ago started me on quite a journey of frustration.
My wife, she reminds me that she has to take the ferry the next morning to go visit her grandmother. After picking up essentials at the store (milk and toilet paper), I buzz over to the ferry dock to scope out how the line there works. I knew you had to get out of the car to get a ticket, but I want to see how far from the car that would be — my wife needed to know if she would be able to leave the kids in the car while still keeping on eye on them.
His thoughts pretty well mimic mine after a week with the computer. Time will tell, but so far the only issues I’m seeing: That up arrow key is impossible for me to reliably hit thus far I keep hitting CMD+Q instead of CMD+Tab, hopefully that subsides. The battery life is about 1 hour shy of…

Aside from all that, this fucking computer impresses and excites me every time I touch it.
I’ve started carrying way too much shit, time to scale it back.
One of the constant struggles that I face is what do I take with me when I want to, say, go to a coffee shop, or the library for a few hours. Realistically I could take everything, I mean my bag has room. I could also take just my laptop, that would likely cover me as well and would be as minimal as I could get.
It’s just a few hours, why is it so hard to decide what to bring?
Nice overview of the options. Certainly hard to beat Fantastical 2 on the Mac. Wish the app stayed open in the menubar when you quit though.

Great new BitTorrent Sync feature: New optional column for “Last transferred” so you know the last time files were changed in a folder.
