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.
