Bad weather 🌧️ means time to the coffee shop for creative work ☕ 👨🏻‍💻 on my next YouTube video about Craft YouTube Integration. I paid a visit to the Apple Store to get my iPhone screen replaced 🛠️. I came out without a replacement; learn why in this episode available on Apple’s Podcast. 👀 … read more

Poll: 1️⃣ iPhone 15 Ultra or 2️⃣ iPhone 15 Pro Ultra? ¹

My gut feeling is that if Apple really is going to use the Ultra, it would be tied to the Pro moniker, otherwise this would create confusion.

Snell, Gruber, Birchler, and I all agree about the iPad’s limits. When we hit one of its limits, it becomes a reason to reconsider. When I started using the MacBook Air, it was when I accepted the simple fact that I would be more productive on the Mac than on the iPad. I love the iPad. This is the device I bring with me on travel, but I do know perfectly that some tasks will need to wait until I return home.

A Eulogy for Dark Sky, a Data Visualization Masterpiece The design of Dark Sky was so wonderful that I could understand the shape of the weather at a glance, even from a zoomed out view of the app. Great analysis of the now-defunct Dark Sky weather app. I’m a bit late on that one. I … read more

It is good to know that there is a future for this nifty utility. I plan to use it for a project involving Plausible analytics API consumption to display graphs using Chartyon my iPhone.

I’m a big fan of AnyBox (YouTube video) and in the latest update (v1.27), information density increased a bit. I love it. 😍

Getting ready for the next podcast edition, episode number uno! Fun or not-fun fact: Apple’s Podcast Connect doesn’t support “Sign in with Apple”. Weird.

Am I alone who happens to get the iPhone keyboard displayed on the iPad instead of the full-size keyboard? My wife experienced the same thing many times. We don’t know how to make this thing revert to the normal size keyboard. Easy to make it disappear, but when it comes back, it’s still the small version. Very annoying to type on this.

I’m probably the only one, but I liked the Touch Bar on my 2017 MacBook Pro at work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

At the food court. The guy beside me is listening to some cheap TV show on his cheap-no-name Android speakerphone. Can you imagine if we all did the same? Even if he were using a top-of-the-line iPhone, I would judge him. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙉 Humans…

Working at the office today. Summer vacations are still ongoing hence so few people here. It’s always a reminder of the covid pandemic. This place used to be much more lively. Everything still feels different. 😒 We will never get back to pre-2020 world.

I’ve been working on this for my podcast. You can tell that I’m no graphic designer. 😆

I glanced at photographers and photos on Glass this morning and realized that most photographers are men. Is it reflective of the photographers’ community in general? Photography is a men’s world?? I’d love to see more women because of their different sensibilities.

Today, while reading this blog post, I found out that we could have a “popup” note inline in a blog post. I was curious and asked the author, who gladly responded with all the required information to do the same on my blog. A plugin is required, which I gladly installed in a snap1. This … read more

“At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.” — Ann Landers

I decided to stop cross-posting my photos from Glass to my Mastodon account as I feel this is not the right community/instance for my photos. I prefer to enable cross-posting from Glass to Pixelfed, which I forgot to enable. Now, all is good. 📷

From a lunar rover to a plane (probably, to be confirmed) carrying the head of the infamous Wagner group (plus a few of his “friends”), they all crash and burn in hell. I don’t care about the root causes, I have no sympathy at all for Russian failures. The more, the better. Eventually, some will … read more

These transcript links give 404. Is this normal? Editing works fine, though. cc @help @manton

Craft Docs vs CleanShot: two different apps in different categories and two philosophies of asking for user feedback. Craft is closed, and opaque while CleanShot is outgoing and openly asks for “what we should work on next”. I’m a subscriber of CleanShot Cloud, and yes, I want a few improvements. If only Craft would change their mind…

Mmmm, 🤔 for some reason, my Microblog RSS feeds are not updated to reflect my latest posts… Trying to rebuild the whole site. Any ideas @manton @help ?
