More than ever I think that social networks are the worst place to have a sound conversation about politics especially in today’s heated world. I felt in the trap yesterday, had to unfollow someone so that I can stay sane. Will I ever learn?

Best call from Apple. They had no choice but to leave, otherwise their credibility would have been questioned.

I headed to the office this morning and brought both my iPad Pro and my MacBook Pro. I had to install the latest updates on my MBP, so I started working on my iPad with an external monitor. I’m pretty sure I’ll be using that setup for the rest of the day. I’m being pretty patient with iPadOS paper cuts.

I find it amusing that Apple releases a new iPhone member with Tim Cook and keep pitching Apple Intelligence as a breakthrough. Are VPs at Apple aware that Apple Intelligence is far behind everybody else and that it still in early beta? Do the engineering teams ever get poked by VPs as to where they are in their journey to bring real generative AI to Apple users? 🤭

Paying Attention
I’m likely spending an excessive amount of time reading the news through various channels and sources. However, given the numerous events unfolding right now that will significantly shape our lives over the next few decades, I believe it’s crucial to pay close attention to them. Regardless of the method, one day, these events will undoubtedly have a clear and immediate impact on me and my loved ones. Continue reading →

What? HP is buying Humane remains? HP? The leader in generative AI looking for a modern, lightweight and nifty dedicated AI device to hum along their AI backend services? Silicon Valley is hard to decipher at times.

Mostly Unexcited
Apple is set to unveil a strategically priced new iPhone tomorrow, alongside anticipated developments in its cellular modem technology. Should I be excited? Continue reading →

Posting to Pixelfed from Micro.blog is cool on paper but can be very frustrating to see that the cross-post action didn’t pan out… no clue as to why, unless doing some digging in the account logs… no easy way to “try again” either. Reconsidering my approach. Again.

Witnessing, albeit from a distance, the daily dismantling of the United States is quite a spectacle. I never imagined I would witness this.

In the past seven days, two snow storms, back to back, dropped a total of 74 cm of snow in Montreal, Canada. That’s a lot. The second storm hit harder than the first. During a snow storm, temperatures often inches close to zero Celsius with weak winds. This time, it was -10 degree Celsius and windy, creating blizzard conditions. I love these, but the aftermath is not fun to cope with: I won’t be able to take the car for the next few days, sidewalks are mostly not usable. I’ll remember that one for a long time.

Musing About Journaling Goals
Reflects on my journaling habits at work and personally, questioning the purpose of writing when I seldom revisit the content. Continue reading →

I don’t care if Reddit offers a paywall option for Subreddits. Unless I’m missing something: I could create and built a community over there and at some point ask for a paid subscription, right? What is the difference then compared with Substack or Ghost?

Yesterday we had our second snow storm in less than five days. It was a big one, probably the biggest one in a decade. It was the best time to go out for a walk and snap as many pictures as possible. Here’s one.

How Do You Feel About That?
The author urges Americans to recognize the ongoing suffering in Ukraine and criticizes Trump for wanting to engage with adversaries, drawing parallels to the 9/11 attacks. Continue reading →

I wrote this about Apple’s Aperture more than five years ago. Now we have something to talk about.

After skipping a week, here is the latest edition of the Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. This edition is the one shared from Craft as a published document. The Ghost web-hosted version is coming later today.

Putin and Trump negotiating the end of the war (or something that looks like it) without Ukraine is like a couple who is about to divorce, but the husband is negotiating with a not-so-random guy, leaving his wife aside, how to split the couple’s assets. This is beyond ridiculous and utterly outrageous.

I updated the blog theme plugin to add support for Micro.blog summaries. In order to work, I had to disable showing the full post on the main page, which triggers the display of the summary with a “Continue reading” link. Is it a better reading experience for my readers? You tell me, please. I’m not sure.

I can’t count the number of times I wish I had maintained an archive of all my screenshots over the years, even going back to the earliest days when we could take screenshots of screens. 🤦🏻♂️😔
