What Companies Value Shows in What They Do
by
There are many things to like about Github’s published document on how they should communicate. I like the idea of asynchronous communication as priority. I love that they want to write things down, and in an ideal world they want to maintain documentation as a first priority in a project. Really I have nothing to…

Standby Mode – Apple Wants You To Pay Even More Attention to Their Phone
by
So with iOS 17 Apple has introduced Standby mode which turns your device into a clock, or lets you place some widgets on it of your choice. At first this seemed like a good feature but after a few days I feel like it’s just another bid by Apple to make their phone steal even…

Greg on Manual Practices for Digital Tasks
by
Today’s post revisits Greg’s thoughts from a few days back about Bullet Journals. I have come to terms with the fact that, despite my love of physical things, digital tools suit me better. I started a new Bullet Journal this year and I’m sure at some point I’ll neglect it. I don’t let that get…
EVs Don’t Solve Many Problems
by
While many look to electric cars to solve the current problems of our current dead dinosaur cars, there are a number of problems they don’t solve. They won’t solve the tire dust/plastic problem.
