Lost and Maybe Trespassing on Vedder Mountain

by
When Apple introduced the [Magic Keyboard](https://amzn.to/2DC81ZG) I was excited, and sceptical.

This is my third reading of Deep Work by Cal Newport. During my first reading of Deep Work I remember being excited because someone was finally saying all the things I’d been thinking and circling around in my productivity life for a few years. While I don’t get that same feeling when I read it…

by
> If I’m your audience, and I’ve spent a thousand bocks on my movie library, I don’t want to have to throw away that investment. I want to be able to use one family of devices and one program to manage my movies. [^1] I stopped purchasing video content or music from Apple a few…
