My Big Flip Phone Failure

I have been trying to write this post for a very long time. Trying to outline my experiment of using a flip phone again because it is the culmination of a few years of wanting to try it, knowing I can’t and then slowly walking myself back from the

The Search For A New Interface

There are numerous tech things I am intentionally quiet about. Not because I don’t have thoughts about them, but because I would rather not add to the noise of initial emotion blog posts and hot takes. The Humane AI Pin was one of those things, and while I don’

The Walls That Keep Me In

I spotted an interesting post by Nick Heer this morning while catching up (also, you should be reading his blog; it’s great). He presents the idea that sometimes hardware is as much of a barrier to switching platforms as software is, which is often overlooked by those considering doing

Bear Notes Turns 7!

As I wrote about twice in the preceding days, I use Apple Notes for everything, but I always keep an eye on, and test the new features of Bear. So I'd like to share a few thoughts on its recent updates and the celebration of its seventh anniversary.

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

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

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
