YouTube and Caged Pigeons
by
Watching this video about YouTube chasing the algorithm and boy am I glad that I’m not in this field. Yes I’m on YouTube and yes I want to build something that’s growing, but my content will always be about what I think is interesting. I may optimize my thumbnails and titles, but if I’m starting
There is no “perfect” task system
by
Brent Simmons addresses the mirage of the perfect todo system. But it’s not around the corner. It’s really not. There’s no perfect system for anybody. All of these apps are pretty good, and you may find one fits you better than another, but you’re not ever going to make it the perfect system for you.
Aeron vs Steelcase Leap
by
I’m looking for a new office chair and have been wondering if it’s time to buy an Aeron finally. This answers some of the questions but ends with me wondering about an Embody chair instead since I have been wondering about sitting cross legged for a few months now.
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
