  • Chris Lawley’s Ergonomic iPad Setup

    by

    Yes Chris’ setup is decent, but I still don’t think that external monitor support for iPad is anywhere near good enough to use regularly. I have a second monitor I can use with the iPad, but almost never do it. I stick with my magnetic VESA mount and the iPad by itself.

  • Raising Empowered Daughters by Mike Adamick

    Raising Empowered Daughters by Mike Adamick

    by

    I got into this book shortly after reading A Brief History of Misogyny by Jack Holland. While I expected some connection in the books, I didn’t expect that Raising Empowered Daughters by Mike Adamick would be a strong anti-misogyny book.

    by

    [Written in 2008 Paul Graham](http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html) writes eloquently about levels of disagreeing.

  • Migrate Your Notes from Obsidian to Craft

    Migrate Your Notes from Obsidian to Craft

    by

    Craft is a newish note taking application that is appealing strongly to those in the Apple ecosystem. It’s especially appealing if you’re a heavy iPad user because the native iPad app is excellent. Because I’m iPad first I wanted to check it out and see if it was worth moving to from Obsidian, which has…
