  • On Defaults

    I love a good blogging trend, me. I don’t always join in with them, but this time around it has even brought Andy Nicolaides out of retirement. So I thought about sharing mine. Deciding against it in the end because I don’t have much to share, but as I said yesterday, I have embraced the fact that I have to have a good think about why first. This trend is sharing the default apps we are using.

  • Coffee Shop Adventures

    Bar a couple of months in early 2022, I have been working from home now for more than three years. It’s a great existence, means in can concentrate better, look after my beloved dog and also be around for my family in the school holidays. I would however like to mention that it can be a bit lonely at times and I want to change that no my contract is fully remote.

  • 🔗 What happened to blogging for the hell of it?

    I’m sick of everything having to be a hustle now, even something personal like sharing our ramblings with strangers on the internet.

    The second Amen of the day 🙌

  • Ruining Blogging

    Every so often I get stuck between a few bits of content I consume and suddenly an idea clicks. It might take a while to flesh it out, and work out if I haven’t got things backwards and just have some kind of frequency illusion of ideas. This one clicked straight away. Whilst listening to The Verge cast from last Friday, I suddenly realised that Google and SEO could be ruining blogging.

  • 🔗 Apple events, SEO, and other fights

    read the comments from the Angry SEO people, because the comments are some of the best formatted. If they could have put H2s in the comments for better search discoverability, they would have…The funniest thing about this whole situation is the SEO professionals being mad at us, but doing perfect SEO by instinct in all of the places where they’re yelling at us.

    I laughed so hard at this bit 😂

  • 🔗 🖋 Stop Giving af and Start Writing More

    Seriously. The idea of a “blog” needs to get over itself. Everybody is treating writing as a “content marketing strategy” and using it to “build a personal brand” which leads to the fundamental flawed idea that everything you post has to be polished to perfection and ready to be consumed.

    Amen 🙌

  • Just Don’t Remove The Function Keys

    Think way back to 2016. The X-Files came back after 14 years, a 4-inch lock of John Lennon’s hair sold for $35,000 and there was a baby born with DNA from three parents. Weirdness all around, especially on the Apple campus. They were convinced the iPad was the future of computing, deep into “what’s a computer” thinking yet still produced laptops with 3-year-old chips in them. Whilst everyone pointed towards a touchscreen Mac, they instead gave users a weird strip you could interact with and took away their function keys.

  • 🔗 Apple’s M3 Pro Mac Chip Posts Surprisingly Mixed Early Benchmark Results | HotHardware

    the M3 Pro 14% faster in single-core and 5% faster in multi-core.

    Am I the only one that thinks 14% and 5% is still a good improvement?

  • POSSE Is Too Much Work

    I got you with the clickbait headline. I mean it’s true, but as with most things, the real answer is: It depends. I read with excitement David Pierce’s article on POSSE for The Verge, as if it were some new technology to change the internet. The framing of the article aside, it is rare to see such excitement about boring indie web things like ActivityPub from the tech media. It feels as if one of the founding ideas of the internet, that one’s personal website should be the cornerstone, has returned like the proverbial prodigal son — and I love it!
