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.
Microposts
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.
This is a rather concerning piece of research. I hadn't considered this angle of decentralised social media services. One thing that the large corps have is resources and urgency to tackle things like this.
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.
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?
Plus these two that are going to a local coffee shop for them to cup.
I’ve got some seriously good coffees in the house at the moment… the red bourbon is especially 😚👌🏻 ☕️
Threads is intriguing but feels like the wild west. Mastodon has the best apps but discovery of people is really hard. Micro.blog is comfortable, like sitting in the lounge of an old pub. The problem is there are people I want to follow on all of the networks but I can’t do it from one app.
In all honesty I would like an app with the polish of Ivory to follow people from, keep up with the timeline in, and post to my own self hosted blog that looks and is structured exactly how I want it to be. I feel like that is a possibility but one that is always slightly out of reach.
Now that Apple has done interactive widgets. I want them to bring back interactive notifications on the Mac.
I hate DNS.
Just discovered this Security Checkliston Brian Lovin’s personal site. What a great resource and way to share knowledge.
Deliveroo finally added live activities!
Feeling the urge to watch Mad Men again. Haven’t watched it for ages and I miss the style of it.
The joys of Monday morning click test results not being what you had hoped. Design revision time. But first, coffee.
You have a meeting. You have a meeting. You have a meeting, and you can have a meeting. Meetings for everyone!
Anyone know if the Apple Music improvements in iOS 17 bring sync of the up next queue across devices?
Shut up Thierry Henry… enjoyed Ted Lasso and its fitting end to the final season.
When does the Roy Kent series start?
I love my Sonos, but starting to want some kind of physical remote to control them. Any recommendations?

Went for a walk after work. A bird pooed on me. About sums up my day.
A long time ago I used an app called LittleSnapper to collect images and snap websites I liked. Anyone know of a similar app?
Trying to utilise Hookmark in my workflow more but finding I spend a lot of time making sure things are linked… seems to create more admin work than I would like.
A thought provoking blog post about the role of software, thinking, and the affect they are having on our abilities.
