    by

    I’m writing a new book (suscribe to get the rules to survive freelancing first) and using Scrivener as always, but it’s pretty rough on iPadOS. I’ve looked at Ulysses as well, and in my looking found this great post from Matt Gemmel on using Ulysses to write his books. How to Write a Novel with

  • Overparenting Backfired

    by

    My thoughts align with this video on over parenting. I’m the dad at the park that sits as far away as possible reading a book really only paying attention to the 3-year-old. I’ve even had other parents chastise me for my very hands off approach. I’m working hard to let my kids be out doing

  • A Printed Book Simply Feels Better to Me

    by

    I was on the ebook train for a few years. I have around 500 ebooks in fact. I even gave away almost all my print books to a local used book store for in store credit. But in 2019 despite reading 70+ books I maybe read one in digital form. I find ebooks hard to

  • The Cost of High-Pressure Rush Delivery

    by

    From Nick Heer: Many vehicles might not be on the road if it were not for Amazon’s high-pressure rush delivery options. It is worrying that these companies are aware of the negative results of programs like Amazon Prime, but are slow to make changes for the better as they continue to hurry packages along. If

  • Powerbeats Pro, Galaxy Buds, AirPods and Waterproofness

    by

    Decent round up of the waterproofness of the Powerbeats Pro, Galaxy Buds, and AirPods. I have the Powerbeats Pro and have found over the last few months that if they’re damp at all it’s a pain to get them charging. In fact, the charging situation with them has been the biggest pain in the but.

    by

    From Harry McCracken via The Loop A PC is a personal computer, and a personal computer is any digital device you use to create, collaborate, and communicate. I find that I can perform all three tasks most efficiently on my iPad. I’m glad we finally got to an era where that just makes me a

  • Peter McKinnon Pursue What Interests You

    by

    Don’t be afraid to pursue what interests you. I always think that a good thing to remember is that: Just because you became known for one thing doesn’t mean you have to always fill that role. I used to write mostly about freelance, now it’s way more about iPad stuff and some productivity. In the

  • Are We Actually Defending the Values We Say Are Important

    by

    I’m not even sure what to say about this except that you should read it. It’s the transcript of a Russian student recently convicted in court of…extremism. The author of the piece, that printed a translated version of the piece, says that the US could learn something from it. It’s about love and being there
