I’m playing around with Realmac software Elements these days, and I’m working on a new website (to replace an existing one). One of the most difficult tasks is to select the right fonts for headers and body. So hard to choose from all those fonts. Google Fonts website is a great tool to help me achieve that.

Bring What Device on My Next Trip?

I’m going for a trip in southern Europe at the end of next week for two weeks. I’ll visit Italy and Spain from a cruise ship and the many stops that are planned. I’m still undecided as to what device should I bring: my iPad or my MacBook Air? The former is highly portable and much lighter, but the latter would allow me to spend more time learning Elements during flight time. I may be overestimating how much free time I’ll have to use these things… 🥴🤷🏻‍♂️

Thinking Outside

Thinking right now: people love to consume content the closest to their platform of choice. People on Substack wants to consume content over there, people on Medium, the same, on Medium. That’s why the idea of manually cross-posting my newsletter to Substack often comes back haunting me. This newsletter is currently only available from Ghost (and RSS + email, of course).

I’m surprised that no YouTuber or tech pundits talking about the iPhone 17 Air didn’t look at what it is like if you put two iPhone 17 Air dummies on top of each other to see how thick this would feel in the hands because, I really think that is going to be close to the foldable iPhone.

Phrases of the week on my news timeline: “Apple loses to…”, “Apple must pay…”, “Apple will challenge…”, “Apple disagree with…”.

Dear Apple: maybe you’re doing something wrong? 🤔

It’s cool to use iPhone Mirroring on the train because of the space constraint… but I find the experience a bit a hit or miss. Sometimes the Mac refuses to connect to the iPhone, or I need to unlock the iPhone or the iPhone is already in use… highly unpredictable… but when it works, it’s really great and handy.

I’m excited about the next two days as I will be traveling by train from Montreal to Quebec City. I enjoy train travel between those two cities because it’s relaxing, the scenery is usually beautiful, and the weather should be nice. I appreciate the opportunity to embrace modern technology; I’ll be able to work remotely from my laptop, with my iPhone’s 5G connection to stay productive while on the move.
