Another Read Later App to Look at
by
[A Better Computer](https://youtube.com/c/ABetterComputer) shared an interesting read later app that has made it onto my list of apps to look at in the future. Yup, this list always grows faster than I can review them.
Kensington iPad Stand
by
This iPad Pro dock looks interesting. I’ve seen a bunch of people faulting the price of the stand at around $400 but if you look at any Thunderbolt 4 dock the pricing isn’t all that crazy. Yes it’s more and since it’s for a single type of device it’s less versatile. Still it’s not all…
iPad Extra Ports Abomination
by
Yes I want my iPad to have more functionality than it does currently with ports and such, but this case/hub thing isn’t the way to do it. When you’re out and about, just use the iPad with a dongle or two as suits your needs. When you’re at home, get a solid [Thunderbolt hub](https://amzn.to/3vNweTt) for…
Jason Snell – I feel more focused on iPadOS
by
[I feel the exact same way that Jason feels](https://sixcolors.com/post/2021/03/searching-for-the-perfect-ios-markdown-writing-tool/). > And I feel more focused using iPadOS itself, for some reason. I know I can run apps full-screen on my Mac—though a 27-inch iMac is spectacularly bad at that. I know I can hide and quit apps on my Mac with a few keystrokes. And,…
Site audits in Chrome
by
This has probably been around for a bit, but I just found out about [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) audits in Chrome developer tools today. Cool tool I’ll use going forward to make sure my sites are optimized well.
It’s Greg’s Blog
by
[Greg Morris](https://gr36.com/what-is-your-blog/) talks about how he hoped his blog would be read with great interest by many, and then realized that it’s for him. A number of years back I was in the same boat. Watching my stats daily trying to ensure that I keyed in on what everyone was reading so I could continue…
Not Everything Needs to be Digital
by
[Jamie Todd Rubin](https://www.jamierubin.net/2021/02/24/journal-in-obsidian-notes/) talks about his love for Obsidian, but not wanting to put his journal in it. I’m totally in the same boat. I love Craft (and Obsidian before it) for the power of linking, but I love my notebook/journal for writing in. I love the experience of venting a bit on paper, so…
The Gemino Curse of my Book List
by
> There is a scene in one of the Harry Potter films where Harry and his friends end up in a treasure vault which has been boobie-trapped with a “Gemino Curse,” a variant of the Doubling Charm. Each thing touched, instantly doubles. Touch those things and they double. This continues without end. I have sympathy…
How to think about iPad Multitasking
by
So the whole video is decent, but pay close attention to how Chris thinks about which apps are accessible at around the 5:00 mark. If we did more of this on all our computing devices, we would have far less distraction in our lives.
Nice video on Energy Management
by
This was a good video on energy management. While I do like [timeblocking](https://curtismchale.ca/skilltime) I also recognize that it’s important to take big breaks. I have often called this [the mullet method](https://curtismchale.ca/2017/11/28/mullet-method-deep-work/). In short, I work hard from around 6 – 9 then I take a 3 hour break. In the afternoon I work from 12…
