Well, iPadOS 26 beta 1 is rather buggy and feels more unfinished than expected.

Apple is so careful about accessibility in general, I find it surprising that they come out with something like Liquid Glass which seems to break many usability rules like legibility. 👀😵💫

A lot of developers might be pissed off by Apple and not willing to invest the required resources to adopt the new UI… but I want to make it clear to all developers: I’ll reconsider my app usage based on those who don’t adopt the new UI. Nothing is permanent in this world. #wwdc25

Sadly, I’ll be on the road tomorrow during the WWDC Keynote. I’ll probably put the event stream on my phone and listen to the audio only while driving. My colleague will learn how passionate someone can be about Apple. 🤭

HyperCard was such a novelty when it launched. It was something so “out of this place”. I spent so many hours with HyperCard, trying to find use cases for it, just so I could experience the stack metaphor. Thanks Bill. RIP.

Listening to the Vergecast right now and oh boy, Apple is losing the mind share of so many people right now… developers (been lioke this for a few years now), tech pundits (for what it’s worth) and… ordinary users (partially, thanks to AI stuff).

Wow, MacRumors is posting a new article for each individual leak, coming from today’s rather lengthy Gurman report about next week’s announcements. I mean, come on, guys! Do a single write up and we’re ok with it!

Due to some important professional changes, I canceled my Fantastical subscription. It’s a great app that I would recommend anytime, but my current situation no longer justifies the expense. I’ll share more info about all this soon.

I’m not a gamer. I’m not the typical guy who freaks about Nintendo. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Kind of tired of those posts about the DS2. 🙄

Physicality: the new age of UI
Overall, one can imagine a rounding and softening of the interface through translucent materials looking pretty great.
There are many thoughtful ideas in this post and I hope Apple will come up with something similar.

According to Gruber, with some extrapolation, The Mac could be the one to lose the most with this upcoming Apple UI design unification:
The last thing MacOS needs is more transparency/translucency than it already has.

The timing is right, and it’s a clever blog post that explains why Inoreader is a great read-later solution, without mentioning or referring to Pocket. Following the announcement of Pocket demise, people are looking at alternatives and rarely Inoreader get mentioned. With this blog post, they make their case. I do use Inoreader as a read-later service, too. It’s quite capable.

« Apple Readies WWDC Stream on YouTube Ahead of Keynote Next Week » — MacRumors
Remember when people were reporting banners being put on display at the Moscone Center and the Internet went wild simply at the look of the banner content?

Are people just discovering that Apple is a corporation, a big one, part of a capitalist system? Really? It’s sad. It is what it is. Empires come and go. That’s not always fun to watch, but it is what it is.

Close to a personal turning point… I find this to be both exciting and unsettling. I’ll probably share more very soon. 🤞🏻

Since coming back from vacation, my morning routine is simple and is always the same: wake up, make coffee, open up the Mac, read Micro.blog timeline, update the current issue of The Ephemeral Scrapbook, do some photo-processing work, tweak my secret work-in-progress-soon-to-be-revealed website with Elements, and read some news before having breakfast.

iPhone 26, iPhone 26 Air, iPhone 26 Pro, iPhone 26 Pro Max, then. I called it first.

Follow-up to my previous post: I’ll be returning the Ubiquiti G6 Instant camera. It’s a really nice designed device, very Apple-like. But I can’t justify replacing my Dream Router with the Dream Router 7 only to add Wifi 7 and support for Ubiquiti Project. Too bad.

Ordered and received an Ubiquiti G6 Instant surveillance camera only to discover that UniFi Protect which is required to manage and use that camera isn’t supported on my UniFi Dream Router from 2020. 🙁 I would need to replace my router with a Dream Router 7 if I want to keep the camera. But replacing my router would probably require replacing my two network extenders, too. 😔
