How I Use My iPad Mini

Medium used to be so great.

Here we go!

I have already starting losing my respect for Amazon (maybe I should have started earlier) but this new announcement of not being able to download my over 200 book library is feeling like the last straw. My new project is downloading them all and putting them in Apple Books, no more Kindle ebooks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pretty great alternative Link Braclet for my Apple Watch from Amazon. Doesn't match as much as the $349 version that Apple sells, but considering it's over $330 cheaper I don't really care!

I'll never stop being mad about this.

Great back to the Mac post with very clear reasons on why going from the iPad to the Mac made sense. It's a great read by a great author, @mattgemmell https://alvalog.net/back-to-the-mac-—

Feels good to publish something after a few hectic months. Finding the time to write can be a bit difficult right now, but it feels amazing to be back at it. Of course I had to talk about my favorite computer and why I am fully back on the iPad.

I've never felt more seen.

Six Colors Apple Report Card again, so you know what that means; "The iPad hardware is so great but iPadOS is shit" so let's rate on an unfair curve to the Mac and make it another stupid talking point for every tech podcast! 😔

I'm excited about finally setting up a home server this weekend. Surprisingly it isn't a Mac. The M4 Mac Mini looks great, but for the cost of the base model I was able to get a 4K monitor, new keyboard, a 16 GB 500GB Ryzen 7 PC, and an additional 1 TB SSD for almost the same price.

1. Sabotage public institutions. 2. Claim they don’t work efficiently. 3. Eliminate them. — That’s the playbook.

I think my favorite Travis Scott album is Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. Such an underrated album.

I need to start writing more about tech again. Not to ignore the chaos going on right now, but to give myself something of meaning while we ride this awful wave.

The goal of flooding the public with so many changes at once is a good strategy in not being able to address a single issue. These next 4 years are going to be a fucking nightmare.

It's been a while, but I have officially jumped back entirely to iPad-only again for all my computer needs. Inspired by Ben Brooks, https://brooksreview.net, I'm fully embracing this new direction and am super excited about it. Will be writing about it more soon.
