@macsparky does a screencast on Drafts
by
Came across this while doing some research for a client writing project. If you’re not sure what do to with Drafts, give David’s short screencast a look so you can get more familiar with what drafts is and how you could use it. I use Drafts as a text inbox on iOS. I’ll empty it
Shawn Blanc’s iPad Photo Workflow
by
As much as I am now iPad first, I haven’t got a great iPad photo workflow, which sucks because I do love shooting with my Conan 60D. Well over at The Sweet Setup, Shawn, walks us through the simple photo workflow he used when traveling for a month with just his iPad. I’ll be grabbing
Faith and Radical Transparency
by
Christians of pretty much every type have done terribly at this. Particularly when it comes to sexual misconduct. Here is a good talk about what we can do as people of faith when we hear about sexual misconduct, maybe sexual abuse is a better wording, with our leaders and attendees. Here is a single selected
Utopian Internet Promise
by
The early, utopian promise of the internet was as a decentralized network that would connect people under hundreds of millions of websites and communities, each in charge of creating their own rules. But as the internet has evolved, it has become increasingly corporatized, with companies like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter replacing individually-owned
Smaller Topic Focused Communities
by
From my friend Bob: A good portion of my “growing up” on the Internet focused on participating on writing forums focused on Star Trek. While I thought the community was large, it was tiny in comparison to the Twitters and Facebooks of the world. However, I was able to meet and talk with a more
Jason Snell on the Brydge iPad Keyboard
by
Read the whole thing here. No it’s not Smart Connector based, but it’s actually something you can use on your lap. Monday I’ll have a full look at how I use the iPad on my desk for my full time work machine. This is the next addition when I upgrade from the 9.7” iPad Pro
Facebook feeding violence
by
From The New York Times: Wherever per-person Facebook use rose to one standard deviation above the national average, attacks on refugees increased by about 50 percent. I’m largely off Facebook. I certainly do not watch the feed to engage with any posts outside of a single book club I like. Even that interaction is waning.
Which operating system should I use macOS, Linux or Windows?
by
Of course the answer starts with “it depends”. What software is the default option in your desired field of work? If you need to use Photoshop, then you’re on macOS or Windows. If you mainly need terminal then macOS and Linux are Unix based systems so you have a good terminal. I think that this
Ciatations made easy
by
I’ve used Citation Machine but always hated it because it’s terrible and as covered. Seems I don’t have to because Citationsy exists. Has macOS and iOS clients. Thanks to Appedemic for pointing this out.
Keyboard nerds take a look
by
Brett Terpstra at least initially likes that Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. I like that it splits but not so impressed that it doesn’t have any angle adjustment for ergonomics. I’m still using the Kinesis Freestyle Solo V2 happily. I had the V1 out of the drawer for a few weeks recently and it’s still great. I
