I always enjoy when people share their workflows.
The right price for parking isn’t free
by
Daniel Herriges at Strong Towns Many of us have a notion that because parking in the public right-of-way is so ordinarily offered to the public for free, that “free” is its natural and correct price. In the case above Herriges is talking about people that charge for parking during the state fair. Parking has a…
The problem isn’t your smartphone
by
From Thord D. Hedengren on his dumbphone experiment There are many good things with, and about, smartphones. The problem isn’t the device, it’s our inability to handle it. It’s not just the phone either, the same can be said about the iPad. It’s the apps and the services construed to keep you interested. I don’t…
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…

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.
Jeff Perry launches a bunch of new stuff
by
Today Jeff Perry is launching a bunch of new stuff. First, you can subscribe to the paid portion of his newsletter, which I’ll do. Second, he’s relaunched A Slab of Glass. This was a great podcast he did with Chris Lawley, but now it’s been relaunched as an interview show. I was lucky enough to…
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.
