Yes I’d get a job
by
This is a great post from Steve Campbell following his journey from leaving his corporate job to starting something on his own. To pivoting, to running out of money and time to make it work. Now to polishing his resume. I’ve always said that I’ll work any job that I don’t find morally objectionable to keep…
Revamping my research workflow…maybe with DEVONThink?

Yup, the resources on my site aren’t working like I had hoped. Mainly because the WordPress admin is a dog and I can’t kill 5 minutes to enter a single quote. One of the apps I’m looking at is DEVONThink for iOS and MacStories has a great piece on automation for DEVONThink. Stay tuned for…

Jason Snell on iOS Roadblocks
by
From Jason: As I wrote earlier this month, I ended up finishing my Six Colors Report Card story on the Mac because I ran into several roadblocks when I tried to finish the project on my iPad. He has a bunch of minor things that he couldn’t “just do” on an iPad and so…he went…
