    Brydge Keyboard for 12.9” iPad Pro

    by

    Like Frederico Viticci of MacStories, every time I have posted an image of testing my iPad Pro with the Brydge keyboard I’ve had some comment about a laptop. I agree with Viticci’s response: why turn an iPad into a laptop when Apple makes actual laptops designed for this purpose? And I have an obvious answer

  • I Only Work Part-Time

    by

    Like the author, I really only work part-time though I’ve managed to figure out how to earn a full-time income on maybe more than 30 hours a week.

  • On the Lie of Adtech

    by

    Adtech Sucks: Bunch of great quotes here on Adtech and the push to inflate your resume with “budgets” instead of the cost of conversions.

  • We Love a Flash of Creativity and Forget About Editing

    by

    From Ryan Holiday: As a culture, we love flashes of inspiration and we love finished products. We have little interest and little understanding, however, of what goes on in between—of the essentialness of editing and improving and tweaking until whatever we are creating is just right. This idea was echoed in his book Perrenial Seller

  • Nothing to Hide…Can I Have Your Phone for 10 Minutes?

    by

    Read this if you’ve got nothing to hide: If someone says they have nothing to hide, ask them to unlock their phone and give it to you for ten minutes. If they hesitate they will have realized it’s nice to keep some things to yourself. Many of us (including myself) have been far to permissive
