Yup AirPlay is Kind of Broken
by
In this article Jason Snell laments the state of AirPlay on macOS and I totally agree it’s broken. I have 2 Sonos speakers in my office. One Sonos One and one Sonos Roam. The Roam does double duty as it moves around the house a few times a week to be a speaker for others…
DailyTekk on being Successful
by
Specifically I like Chris’ thoughts on finding a frontier. I started with WordPress in 2008 when it was very much a frontier and it’s why I have the coding career I have today. It’s why many people subscribe to my site and still are interested in what I have to say. I also think I’m…
A look at how Josh Kaufman does research and reading
by
I’d love to be like Josh and get to spend 75% of my day reading. I mean I get to spend a decent amount of time reading books or articles, but I’d prefer to do more. I also like his unlimited book budget, which I don’t have. Check the article out for his reading process,…
Allen Pike on cross-platform software development
by
Interesting post from Allen Pike about the tradeoffs we make with cross-platform development.

Shiftscreen – Best iPad Monitor Experience
by
Yes the M1 iPad Pro has a bunch of power, but it also has some major limitations enforced by iPadOS. The biggest oversight is the lack of a decent second screen experience for those that want to use their iPad Pro at a desk with a 2nd monitor. Here is where ShiftScreen 4 comes into…
Obsidian Longform – A Scrivener Replacement?
by
For a long time I loved Scrivener, but the development is so slow it may as well not happen. It also has had 10 years to really support iPad’s as primary writing tools and it’s done a terrible job. You’re almost missing more features on an iPad than you get. You certainly can’t produce a…

14 Awesome Safari Extensions for iOS 15
by
iOS 15 brought us a feature that felt like a bit of a sleeper for me, Safari extensions. I didn’t even realize it existed until after the official release dropped, and now I have lots of Safari extensions running all the time. These help supercharge iOS Safari, just like extensions do on desktop browsers. To…
