Max Tech on M1 iPad Issues
by
Good look at the issues with the M1 iPad and iPadOS 14 (and still 15). None of them are in the class I entirely discount when someone complains the iPad doesn’t work like the computer they’re used to. Two weeks into owning the M1 iPad Pro, I like it. No regrets in the decsion since…
Task Managers Make it TOO EASY to Input Tasks
by
Jamie Todd Rubin on the ease of entry for task managers. The fact that to-do apps makes it easier for us to record what we have to do is part of the problem. We accumulate more stuff because it is easy to accumulate. The fact that there are market forces driving us to feel more…
The Allure of a Digital Journal
by
From Jamie Todd Rubin Over the years, for instance, I have made several attempts at keeping my journal in digital form, instead of in notebooks of various kinds. My reasons for doing this always seem pure. I type faster than I handwrite. It My typing is not illegible when I type faster. My hands grow…
A Programmer’s iPad Setup
by
Nipun Batra shares how he setup his iPad to do development. I like Blink Shell more than a-Shell. I have also found that FTP clients like SecureShell aren’t as nice as using SCP and transferring a zipped file. Moving a zipped file is so much faster and more reliable. I wonder what impact more RAM…
MKBHD on being a YouTuber
by
I like that he acknowledges the ‘luck’ factor in turning Youtube, or anything creative, into a job. It does take the right confluence of events happening at the right time to have it turn into a career.

Brad Davis on Kindle, Readwise, Obsidian
by
I read a little bit on Kindle, and will read mostly on my Kindle while camping next week. Not sure it’s enough to bother paying for Readwise but if you read on Kindle lots Brad’s workflow may be for you.
James – Note Making and Linking in Craft
by
James gives us a nice walkthrough of how he takes notes and links them in Craft. Also HyperCard reference FTW.
DailyTekk on Brydge iPad Pro Keyboard Case
by
I had the first generation Brydge keyboard for my iPad Pro and I loved it. But owning the Apple Magic Keyboard, I haven’t used it at all in over a year. It still works better on my lap than the Apple keyboard. The function row does look interesting on this, but it still feels like…
Linus on iPad Pro
by
Balanced and hillarious take on the new iPad Pro. Enjoyed the comparison of Apple saying in the Epic trial that iOS was made to be safe for babies, and yet they market it as a professional device. Now, I do think that some of this sentiment comes from the people just wanting to do things…
