Apple have finally confirmed the 20th April 2021 as their next event, streamed online as usual and no audience as expected in these times. I don’t think you can read anything into the invite image aside from the colours. To my eyes this is showing a line of spring colours for maybe watch bands, casesContinue reading “What will Apple announce at next weeks event”
Turn off the distractions of the Apple Watch
This is a great write up from Zac over at 9to5Mac around making the Apple Watch a little less overwhelming. It was one of the nice things for me when I went back to a mechanical watch, no constant notifications or need to be checking it.
Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?
Spotify announced Car Thing a few days ago for “select Spotify users” but I have no idea why. I can see strategically they want to be in people’s faces as often as possible but is there really a need for this? All of the cars I’ve owned have been fine for streaming from my phone.Continue reading “Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?”
Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook
The only portable computer I have these days is the 12″ MacBook, mine is from 2016. I love it, I use it throughout the day and it’s so thin and light I take it pretty much everywhere with me. The battery still lasts all day, (thankfully) the keyboard is still working and it’s really durable.Continue reading “Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook”
Apple developing new Apple TV with HomePod functionality and a camera?
I think that if this report by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg is to be believed Apple are developing a new ‘home’ product that combines an Apple TV, HomePod and Camera to use FaceTime and I think it’s about time. It makes perfect sense to have something that we could use instead of crowding around theContinue reading “Apple developing new Apple TV with HomePod functionality and a camera?”
Creating a circular profile photo in Pixelmator
I came across this great post and wanted to share it on. I’m starting to use Pixelmator a lot more these days with photo editing on the cheap. It’s actually turned into a really nice app and is installed on my Mac and iOS devices.
Turning off the infinite scroll
When I sat down today to write up a few posts I decided to also tweak my site a little, make it a little cleaner and making the menu bar clearer. Along with this I decided to turn off the infinite scroll on my site. The infinite scroll on social media I feel has beenContinue reading “Turning off the infinite scroll”
Using Apps that get out of the way
I realised the other day that the apps I’m using these days are doing a good job of getting out of the way and letting me get on with my day. I wrote this prompted by this post from Craig Mod about a similar subject of apps. It’s taken me years to settle on certainContinue reading “Using Apps that get out of the way”
A must listen to podcast for independent creators
I wanted to share this weeks Talk Show from Daring Fireball in which Craig Mod goes through many great topics including building his membership but also writing and working with editors.
Are you a writer or a blogger?
Writing is something that I enjoy but I’m not sure that I’m good at it – yet. I feel that I am more of a blogger, with this I mean that I enjoy writing on my own on this site and smaller pieces of content. It’s quick to read and quick to absorb, something youContinue reading “Are you a writer or a blogger?”
