11 Or 12.9 iPad Pro?
by
[Ryan Christoffel did an experiment using both the 11” and 12.9” iPad Pro to see which one was the “best” size](https://www.macstories.net/stories/my-11-inch-ipad-pro-experiment/). To me the split view experience sounds pretty much as good between both devices. He doesn’t like the lack of 3-column views in some apps on the 11” iPad Pro, but I rarely use…
Josh Says the Magic Keyboard Makes the iPad Into Something New
by
[Great article from Josh over at The Sweet Setup on the Magic Keyboard turning the iPad into something new](https://thesweetsetup.com/magic-keyboard-turning-the-ipad-into-something-new/). I laughed out loud, and groaned at this part. > The Magic Keyboard is the first accessory that caught the Telus business owner’s eye when I pulled it out on my desk midway through last week.…
Book Firsts Tag
by
Inspired by I’d Rather Be Reading, I’m going to talk about some of my book firsts today. So I guess I’m starting the book firsts tag and I choose to take…well anyone but these people in particular. ## Questions 1. What was the first book you remember falling in to? 2. What was the first…
What’s New in Unread 2.1
by
Yes I just reviewed Unread 2 last week, but they’ve already made an update to add some of the features I said I wanted in the app. First off, they already had some basic Vim key support for nerds. `j` or `k` will navigate up or down in your article view. That was already there…
Build a Content Calendar in Notion
by
I’ve tried many things to run an editorial calendar for my site, from paying for services to writing it all down to paying for services that provide editorial calendars. Ultimately, nothing has been quite right…until maybe now? Today I’m going to walk you through the editorial calendar I’ve set up in Notion. It’s not perfect,…
Role Specific Repositories for Focus
by
[From Cal Newport](https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/04/14/beyond-the-inbox-rules-for-reducing-email/): > Rule #2: Immediately move obligations out of your inbox and into role-specific repositories. > I currently inhabit four professional roles: writer, teacher, researcher, and director of graduate studies for my department. For each of these roles, I set up a Trello board that includes a column for: things I’m working on…
The Depressing Aftertaste of an Hour on YouTube
by
[From Riccardo Mori talking about how he’d live if this quarantine happened in 1990](http://morrick.me/archives/8849). > At least in my case, sometimes today there’s a certain depressing aftertaste after, say, spending a couple of hours deep down some rabbit hole in YouTube. The entertainment I may have felt during those two hours, or whatever I may…
Jason Snell on the Brydge Pro+
by
[Reading this, glad I didn’t pre-order the Brydge Pro+ keyboard](https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/04/review-brydge-pro-ipad-keyboard-with-trackpad/). Doesn’t seem like their trackpad is any better than the [$99 keyboard with a trackpad I reviewed](https://curtismchale.ca/2020/04/06/99-ipad-keyboard-with-trackpad) not that long ago, but of course it’s way more expensive.

Yeah instead of that nice shot I got this [lame top down shot](https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zkdmRHlp2/?igshid=10bl1sbkavm00) of my new Altra shoes.
