Location check in 🗺 — Wow, such a different look here. 😍

Tempted to take the plunge and order the 15-inch MacBook Air so I can get it by the time I return home on July 1st. But I really want to try it first in an Apple Store. Oh well. Pleasure comes while waiting for something, as they say.

Waiting for a new release of Craft this week (v2.5.6 today?)👀. Curious to see what’s coming with it. I heard about few stability issues with Apple’s crop of new beta OSes. Those might get a fix. It might add a few tweaks here and there too. We will see. It will be hard for me to create the usual release analysis this time around (vacation time!).

Using Day One to document my trip in Morocco is so refreshing🥰. This app is so well designed and executed. Strangely enough, I rarely use Day One other than for peeking at past memories of my publications (automatically added through IFTTT automation with RSS feeds). I rarely add to my personal journal. That might change from now on.

I’m really looking forward for this trip...
Date: June 16, 2023 at 8:05:30 PM EDT Weather: 20°C Rain Location: Aéroport International de Montréal-Trudeau, Dorval, QC, Canada From a photography experience perspective… My backpack 🎒 is so heavy with this camera and “only” two lenses. My hope is to use my big camera as much as my iPhone, so that I don’t think that I brought this with me for nothing. 😜 Continue reading →

Location check in 🗺 — YUL. ✈️😎

This time of the year where I fill my iPhone with podcast episodes. Using PocketCast. Getting ready for the airport ✈️

Finally finished and published this article this morning 😅. It’s been long in the making. Looking at my writing projects pipeline, it has always been pretty short. 😱

Well, Riccardo Mori doesn’t like Apple Vision Pro, visionOS, or many of what Apple is doing these days. I’ll reread his blog post because I think there is some good takes and also because there is so much to digest.
Neither I nor he saw or experienced the headset, yet we are so far apart in our takes on Apple’s current vision. 😒

Charging all my devices. Installing app updates. Getting my bags ready. This two-weeks vacation is really welcome.

Just finished configuring my WhatsApp account on my iPhone. What a weird user experience. I couldn’t get my verification code to be sent by SMS after many tries. Finally asked to be called. WhatsApp asked me if I wanted to restore data from a non-existent iCloud backup. My account is configured with my current phone number which I’m pretty sure won’t work once I’m in Morocco. I bet that changing this phone number will require me to access my SMS on my primary line, which won’t be possible because I’ll depend on an eSIM. I’m not sure what is my “WhatsApp handle” either if such a thing exists. What is I prefer to use my email address so people can find me? I should probably spend an hour googling to sort this out.
And WhatsApp is the de-facto standard in most parts of the world, except North America.

Day One creator Paul Wayne, on Apple’s foray into journaling app:
Rather than seeing this as competition, we embrace Apple’s entry into digital journaling as a testament to its growing importance. This evolution is not just beneficial for Day One, but also for our valued users. Source: Apple’s Journal App and Day One’s Evolution
I applaud the positive attitude here. There is one thing that is missing from Day One: the capability to share a journal entry as a web page.

Are We Ready for This Dystopian World?
Warning: it’s not about the Apple Vision Pro headset, which many people think will bring a touch of a dystopian future to our life. Something else more serious will. I read this week somewhere that, to get climate back into the normality zone🌪️ to ensure the sustainability of the human race and life in general, everyone on earth would need to live in an oppressive world where everything would be controlled by laws and government all the time and for decades.

Building a CRM in ... Notion? Really?
💡I’m trying to build my own CRM with Notion for my daytime job. After a few hours today building the data model using Notion tables and relations, I concluded that I underestimated Notion for such use case. It’s impressive and very flexible. It has a lot of potential. I’m pretty happy with my current work. I sometimes find it a bit laggy, but let’s keep the experiment running for a few months. Continue reading →

On 15-inch MacBook Air: Is It Too Big?
When the 15-inch MacBook Air 💻 was officially announced, I was excited and knew it would replace my M1 MacBook Air. Since then, I read many reviews and watched many unboxing videos. People seem to enjoy the new bigger MBA, and all is good, right? But, is it? Nobody talks about the device’s size when you use it on your lap like I do with my MBA right now as I write this post.

Am I the only one who thinks that Adobe is slowly but surely morphine Lightroom Classic into Lightroom? From a distance, I sense that all the cool stuff appears in Lightroom first. The latest example: the capability of exporting a photo-processing session in a video file is available in Lightroom (iPad, iPhone only) but not in Lightroom Classic. 🤔
