I’m already a big fan of stand by mode on the iPhone. I really want it on my iPad now.

I think I’m going to finally make the move from 1Password to the built in Apple password manager this year.
I would really like the lock screen widgets on the homescreen of my iPad as well.
Haha Redbull and Verstappen! 🏎️🥳🥳🥳
So the Apple website doesn’t sell leather iPhone 14 Pro cases anymore… might make a trip to an Apple Store this weekend to pick one up before they are all gone.
Just discovered they made a version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 for the PS4. Very tempted to buy that. I used to play Tony Hawk 2, as we called it, when I was in my mid teens.
Really disillusioned with social media at the moment. Recently moved my blog blog (not micro) to Wordpress which I like and I like that it has Activity Pub support. I like and use RSS, but I’m getting fed up of Mastodon like I got fed up of Twitter. I thought about adding a few Mastodon accounts to my RSS but I don’t like having those posts appear there. Maybe I should audit who I’m following and then try adding some accounts to Micro.blog to see how that goes.
Trying this little beauty this morning. ☕️
Considering installing the iPadOS beta to give the new reminders feature a look. Anyone running it? How do you find it?
I seem to have fallen into a massive stationery fascination in the last few weeks. Obsessing over notebooks, inks, fountain pens… you name it and I’m interested! ✒️
Found a very complex Axure RP10 tutorial this morning that I had a feeling would help me do what I needed to do in a prototype. At the end of the day I understand what it’s doing and I think I can now manipulate it to do what I need in my prototype. #ux
Clean shaven for the first time since before the pandemic. I’ll be growing it back.
Love this little kerning game.
The constantly changing weather conditions we have in the UK at the moment are starting to play havoc with my asthma.
I can’t help but coming back to read this post about how our digital calendars could be so much more powerful. I keep looking at ways of integrating my tasks with my calendar but nothing out there does it that well at the moment.
I think my brain is done for the day. Couldn’t find a way to create a subdomain on Hover, even a cursory google didn’t uncover the mystery.
Very tempted by the public betas for iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS this year…
It still baffles me that in both Outlook and Apple Mail there is no built in button to create a task from an email…
This mornings coffee is brought to you by the ends of two different bags… I call it frankenfilter… ☕️
My use of Threads has dropped dramatically this week, it’s become really clear that all I want is them to enable Activity Pub so that I can follow a few friends from Micro.blog or Mastodon.
As much as it pains me to say this. Bard is proving to be better for me than ChatGTP lately and it’s all because of one thing. It looks at the internet.
A night of natural wine tasting with these two 🍷
I love seeing behind the scenes look at new logos for things that have been around a while. Really like the new Thunderbird logo.
Just saw a a post on Threads from Figma… describe your creative process in three words or less.
My attempt: Steal, splice, iterate.
Maybe I should elaborate?
Steal: Be inspired. Steal ideas from others, but also from your past. At the start, or even in the middle of, a project I tend to ask myself two questions. Have I solved a similar problem in the past and has someone else solved it? If the answer to either of those questions is yes or maybe, then I look at those projects through he lens of the one I’m working on.
Splice: This is where I take what I’ve discovered when looking back at what has been done before and splice in new thoughts and ideas.
Iterate: This is pretty self explanatory, but essentially I spend the rest of the time repeating the process until I come to a point where I have something that is hitting the problem head on and the design is coming to a resolution.
Starting to think I want a smaller bag for than my back pack. Want one that’s comfortable to wear, can fit my iPad Pro 11 inch and a general assortment of “stuff” like inhaler, phone, and keys… any recommendations out there?
