iPad Magic Keyboard – Byte Review
by
I had all the same feelings about the Magic Keyboard when it came out. It’s expensive and…really will it be that awesome? Seems we both agree, it is that awesome. We’re also on the same page when it comes to feeling that the Magic Keyboard prompts you to use your iPad like a laptop while…

Entitled Ad “***kers” – Daring Fireball
by
> The entitlement of these fuckers is just off the charts. They have zero right, none, to the tracking they’ve been getting away with. We, as a society, have implicitly accepted it because we never really noticed it. [Online Privacy Should Be Modeled on Real-World Privacy](https://daringfireball.net/2020/09/online_privacy_real_world_privacy) I love John’s description of what it would be…

Slack Focused Mode?
by
From [Matt Birchler](https://birchtree.me/blog/slack-feature-request-focus-mode/) > What I want is to be able to go into a “focused working” mode in Slack where it still notifies me of things, but it only sends notifications on a reduced cadence, like every 10 minutes. This will let me stay up to date with things as they happen in Slack,…

The Dent: Why Not Just Get a Mac
by
From [The Dent](https://andynicolaides.micro.blog/2019/06/15/063700.html): > What a lot of non-iPad users seem to not understand / appreciate is that those hoops they think we jump through to shoehorn an iPad into our workflow are not hoops at all. Just as switching from DOS to a GUI interface back in the day would have required you to…

It’s been a while since I’ve done a book haul, mainly because my local used bookstore was closed for a bit and I’ve stopped buying much from Amazon.

Today is that list. – Stargirl: [Independent Publisher](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780440416777?aff=curtismchale)…
The Full-Stack Freelancer Can Deep Work

by
I just finished editing a piece on how despite knowing I wanted to be a father since my late teens, I didn’t fall in love with my children right away. I stood there holding my first kid and felt nothing outside of what I generally feel about babies. They’re cute and I like snuggling them.…
