M.G. Siegler: I suspect this new MacBook will be the last laptop I end up buying. Again, that doesn’t mean the MacBook is dying anytime soon, but I believe this will be the pinnacle of the product. We’ll get spec bumps for years to come. But it will be the long, slow fade we just…

I suspect this new MacBook will be the last laptop I end up buying. Again, that doesn’t mean the MacBook is dying anytime soon, but I believe this will be the pinnacle of the product. We’ll get spec bumps for years to come. But it will be the long, slow fade we just witnessed with the iPod.
Just a reminder that I have started a photo a day project, pretty fun stuff.

Garrett Murray comparing the X100T to the plethora of other cameras he has used of late: It fits better in my hands and it still takes amazingly unique photos. I picked up the X100T before the holidays and it has been an amazing tool.

Sometimes finding the best, is really the worst.
In part, because I am a nerd, I have a page on my blog where I list things that I’ve found to be the best. I pursue buying the best things in the aspects of my life where I’ve found that I use something very often, or need a new item to replace an old, or broken one. I try many options so that I may eventually say, with some sense of expert confidence, that this is ‘the best’.
Of course it’s likely only the best if you are me, after all, who’s to say what is the best weather app, radar app, PDF reader, or knife? Not me. It’s all subjective, and we could debate this all day, but it doesn’t matter.
I saw this Mac preference pane app in action today, and I was blown away. I am not at my Mac, but this is something I plan on installing the moment I get home. You can create custom gestures to do all sorts of things, such as: Three finger tap to close tab. Three finger…

And so much more. Very cool tool.
When you need a small desk and hides away, you could do a lot worse for $40.
When I started at MartianCraft (a remote work company) I started at a time when my wife and I had just turned our home office into a playroom for our kids. Whoops. There are few co-working spaces available around me, and those that are, are above my budget for such a space (without offering a very good space).
Speaking of my photoblog, I posted a little thing about photo stitching without Photoshop.

Jeffrey Zeldman: If we keep throwing only young, mostly white, mostly upper middle class people at the engine that makes our digital world go, we’ll keep getting camera and reminder and hookup apps—things that make an already privileged life even smoother—and we’ll keep producing features that sound like a good idea to everyone in the…

If we keep throwing only young, mostly white, mostly upper middle class people at the engine that makes our digital world go, we’ll keep getting camera and reminder and hookup apps—things that make an already privileged life even smoother—and we’ll keep producing features that sound like a good idea to everyone in the room, until they unexpectedly stab someone in the heart.
Matt Mullenweg: In a region that prides itself on disruption and working from first principles, San Francisco’s scaling problem is pretty humorous if you look at it from the outside: otherwise smart and inventive founders continue to set up offices and try to hire or move people in the most overheated environment since there were…

I’ve been playing around with my X100T lately, and snapped this from my backyard the other night. After a quick spin through Flare, it looked pretty good for a wallpaper. Here’s the image (the full resolution version doesn’t have the compression banding/artifacts): Go ahead and download this high resolution version and take it for a…

I don’t know why I bought this watch, but it turns out to be pretty nice.
I’ve long felt mechanical watches are the only way to go, as they require no batteries and are therefore ideal because they keep working as long as you wear them — no finding dead batteries when you go to don the watch. A ‘win-win’ if you will. (more…)
Tom Bihn interviewed my wife and me about parenthood and all the craziness that surrounds it.

Thirty two doesn’t sound as old as thirty one. And other odd things.
I’ve written lists about X things that I learned in X years before, but those seem rather boring these days. I’ve not marked every birthday I’ve had on this site, but I felt like this was a good one to mark. Mostly because I’m finally at a numerical age which I like. ‘Thirty two’ rolls nicely off the tongue and that pleases me greatly.
No, really, it’s what the title says.
This is a list of the best, or my favorite at least, websites of 2014.
Dave Pell: But it doesn’t matter who you are. Something as seemingly minor as an errant or offensive tweet can ruin you. And once it ruins you, it keeps ruining you. The Internet is like a high school cafeteria. Except this cafeteria has billions of students. Meme Girls are the new Mean Girls.

I had the chance to try this app out before it was released and I have to say it is pretty fun. It’s not one of those apps where it is exciting fun, but challenging fun is far more accurate. I got lost in it a few times.

Interesting article exploring the cognitive benefits of writing by hand. I've actually been experimenting with hand notes again in a quasi-sketchnote fashion. I can't say if it's any better, but it's much less distracting for those on the other end of a video call when they don't hear my keyboard.

John Carey was kind enough to let me have a guest desktop over on his site. That’s one thing off my bucket list right there — very honored.
