I’d love something like this on the iPad instead of Stage Manager.

Tiling options green traffic light.

I wonder if there will be a more coherent Sports story in iOS 18. The new sports app certainly needs a cleaner narrative around it and how it works with Apple News and Apple TV.

Added a new ink to my collection today. A green for summer.

Moved all my notes from Obsidian to Bear yesterday, the constant jankiness of Obsidian made me have another look at Bear. Decided to give it a try and see how it goes.

I generally try to avoid Google services, but they sure are good at making me wish I use them. How well they come together is impressive and I’m starting to really like their visual language.

It’s all excuses

I have this weird stumbling block with my blog. I want to blog, when I do it I enjoy it and when I get into a good rhythm posting regularly I enjoy it even more. I should then be doing it regularly, and in fact I want to do it regularly, but I have this weird block. I’m a designer. I don’t like using things out the box and prefer to have my own design on my own website, so when I don’t have one it becomes a blocker and I don’t want to invest time in blogging until it’s design is my own.

I can you asking, so why don’t you just get on with it and build your own design. And the answer is simple. My personal computer is an iPad and I’ve found it hard to get the right setup so that I an easily code up what’s in my mind, that’s not to say it’s not possible, just that I haven’t found something that clicks with me so far.

All this is really a long winded way of saying, it’s all just excuses. At the end of the day if I enjoy blogging and writing then I should get my finger out and do it. So here I am, trying again to find a rhythm and just do the blogging.

That this happens on Apple’s own devices is crazy…

Siri's response to the question "What time is the apple event tonight". It says you can find out on the Apple website instead of giving me the information.
