077: Ideas are Always Better Than Reality Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

This week is a case study in how this impacts the Apple Pencil charging situation, which some have called bad design. I disagree, and I only do so after working out the implications of making other choices. There are complications with ever product decision, and the challenge is in picking the path that makes the best compromises. https://birchtree.me/blog/apple-pencil-charging-is-good-design/

076: 3 Ways I'm Stepping Ever So Slightly Outside my Comfort Zone Apr 19, 2018

Show notes

I'm experimenting with computer platforms, media, and content creation mediums, all in the interest of challenging my own assumptions about who I have decided I am. These are not life-changing differences, but they are small steps to challenge some decisions I made many years ago.

075: Drafts 5 Micro-Review Apr 18, 2018

Show notes

Drafts 5 will be releasing today and it's a great update! I am not going to post a full review of the app because I'm far too casual of a user to provide much insight into it, but I had to take a few minutes and talk about why I love it and how it fits into my very specific workflow.

074: Expanding Your View Outside Yourself Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

It's easy to tell the world what you think is important, or what you see and good and bad. It's much harder to step outside yourself and understand, or even argue for, the opinions and world views of others. But just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not important. Quite the opposite, actually. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/05/what-alexa-taught-my-father/556874/

073: Try Another Browser, It Won't Hurt Apr 16, 2018

Show notes

So many people just seem to use Chrome these days, and odds are you are too. I'd seriously recommend trying something like Safari, Firefox, Vivaldi, or Opera. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/15/17239548/firefox-chrome-safari-competition

072: The Ridiculously Brilliant Breath of the Wild Apr 11, 2018

Show notes

Quick episode today where I gush about the latest Zelda adventure.

071: Strongly Held Opinions, but Opinions Nonetheless Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

I love the Magic Keyboard, and I actually really like the new MacBook keyboards too. These keyboards are not factually great, but they're great for me.

070: My Android adventure lasted 6 days Apr 09, 2018

Show notes

I spent less than a week back on Android full time and it was just more trouble than it was worth. I'm a little harsh on Android in the episode, so maybe skip today if you're a die-hard Android fan, but I had to be honest.
