• The iPad revenue share is about 6% of total. Seeing Apple continue to invest in this platform is something that I wonder if other companies would do with such a “loss leader”. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the iPad next week.

  • Information Architect1 is working on something that could prove to be super useful for me: shareable presentations using iA Presenter. It’s currently in testing. Judging by their blog post, it looks slick. I could build online presentations that go with The Craft Bible or The Craft Starter Kit that I’m working on. Can’t wait to try it out.

  • Three years later and it’s funny to remember where I came from and why I’ve migrated to Ghost for everything1, not only my newsletter.


    1. Not exactly, everything, but for my main website where I share my newsletter and some other long-form posts. ↩︎

  • For some reason, tonight, I miss Medium. I used to love writing for it and reading from it. I still have close to 800 followers, albeit the number really never change, which I find strange.

  • About the Super Greedy Broadcom Company

    VMware is no longer synonym of IT innovations. Now, it has because the new Microsoft of the nineties: it is about licensing costs and tricks. Let me elaborate a little bit more. The EU is going after Apple and Google and Meta these days with fierce energy and determination. It’s all good1. But … read more

  • On AI Pin, Rabbit R1 and Apple Vision Pro.

    From what I’m reading and seeing, the AI Pin and Rabbit R1 are terrible devices for potentially great AI use cases, while the Apple Vision Pro is a technology marvel device with weak use cases. The former are probably DOA because they risk lacking funding to keep the show going, while … read more

    In this image, according to AI bot, the 2013 Mac Pro is brown… a brown speaker! 😂

  • It’s funny how my subscribers count can vary after I share a new video on my YouTube channel. In recent days, I got many new subscribers, thanks to a video about building a dashboard with Craft. Then, I share this video about Micro.blog, and many people suddenly quit and unsubscribe1. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Calling for suggestions: I’d like to back up my iCloud Photos Library content locally on my Synology NAS, but I don’t want to use the built-in “Download Originals to this Mac” of Apple Photos. Any utility that does that? Thanks!

  • 🔥 It’s still Sunday where I live, and it’s time to share the newest edition of the weekly creative summary! Coming up soon to a mailbox near you1. 😅

  • You want to know more about all the new features and tweaks introduced on Micro.blog in the last two months? Here’s a video that I made today for you guys. Enjoy. cc @jean @manton

  • Today I might have hit the max my M1 Mac mini could give me: while exporting my video in ScreenFlow, I was editing a photo in Photomator. The latter couldn’t keep up with me trying different settings on my image.

  • I’m currently recording the next edition of the “What’s Up with Micro.blog” episode and I’m Testing cross-posting to Bluesky. This post includes #hashtag. Let’s see if it works!

  • Security Is Hard for Everyone

    This morning, my wife picked up her iPhone and tried to unlock it1. She couldn’t after a few try2. She tried a few times with a slight variation, but the iPhone refused to unlock itself, now showing a 15-minute delay on the lock screen. Her passcode is a complex one as per corporate security … read more

  • More than half of my planned errands for the weekend is already completed! It’s a rather productive day. One thing that I did that wasn’t planned at all: doing photography! That’s my bike that I bought last year[^1]!

  • I forgot about my “numericcitizen.photos” domain. It was due for renewal. I cancelled it. I feel better.

  • Tempted to start watching “The Last of Us”. But I need to subscribe to Crave apparently. Is it really good? I’m a mild science fiction type of huy. 🤔

  • It’s been such a long time since Apple redesigned their Magic Mouse. Is this the only solution to an old problem? And this charging port underneath, could they try to fix this nonsense too? Hard to believe Apple can be so slow at fixing the obvious.

  • Overrated x 1000

    Microsoft 365 or Office 365, if you prefer, is so overrated. Microsoft is the master of selling licenses but when it comes down to doing real serious collaborative work with Teams and the rest of the software suite it falls apart really quickly. For example: trying to collaborated on a Word … read more

  • Hey guys, I’m looking for an app that can browser folders containing photos. This app would display photo’s metadata too and allow for adjusting the thumbnails size. Any recommendations for me? I’m looking for an alternative to Adobe Bridge. Thanks.
