However, from the HNews thread on digg reader, Winds 2.0 app looks interesting (although electron… sigh).
microblog
For DRM-free audiobooks, Bound is my favorite iOS app. As other apps have become more sticky, I’ve removed DRM from audiobooks to use its clean UI.
A good bad day at work. Encountered ( found gives me too much credit) a blocker bug, and had to delay a feature. But the debugging and fixing went well. Really appreciate colleagues patience when you’re so boxed-in a problem you loose perspective for the workaround.
We saw Wonder today. It’s a feel good movie that touches all the buttons. But it does makes you acknowledge an imperfect world, which I think it navigates pretty well. Enjoyed it.
Saturday trip stop.
Wish TunnelBear team the best in joining McAfee. But would feel uncomfortable if it were 1Password.
The parent company wants us to keep being awesome! narrative works until the awesome growth numbers aren’t met.
Been enjoying the Scribd service, and will probably finish Sapiens before it’s not available anymore — but it kinda puts a dent in the whole point of unlimited.
YouTube TV doesn’t let me cancel from Safari… which would be fine, if it hadn’t let me subscribe from Safari. Tst, tst, walled garden with free entry gate.
I present both the most complex engineering project I’ve embarked upon and the longest instructions deciphering my brain has ever attempted.
Let it be known that a chair was assembled, despite the manufacturer’s wishes.
After planning to go to Playa Mantas we ended up in Playa Herradura. Fun day with less fun traffic on the way back.
Wesley Moore: A Year Away From Mac OS
I spent less than a week on a Chromebox as an experiment and failed miserably. But super detailed articles like this keeps are extremely entertaining.
The Angle is a nice looking straight razor. However, not sure I’d move away from my safety razor.
Josh Comeau’s webpage, Let’s Learn About Waveforms, deserves many awards.
If I didn’t check the site already a few times a day, the new Techmeme Ride Home podcast would be a must-hear. Still giving it a few days.
Had to rollback a release in production. Bummed after a weekend of testing. You can have your development environments all figured out… until you don’t.
Excited about Legion Season 2. The first season was probably my favorite show of 2017.
The Death of Stalin wasn’t sitcom funny, it was actually painfully entertaining.
Beach day.
This iPad appears broken.
RAMS, about legendary German designer Dieter Rams — by Gary Hustwit (Helvetica, Objectified, Urbanized), with original music by Brian Eno.
Will watch the film, and probably buy the poster.
Enjoyed MacSparky’s Blogging Workflow:
Move the Cursor from Left to Right
At times I forget that this needs happen before I criticize a writing idea/intent to death.
Today’s morning pomodoros soundtrack 🎵 is Stillness by Heron.
The web is a social agreement not to break things. It’s served us for 25 years. I don’t want to give it up because a bunch of nerds at Google think they know best.
With a few hundred words, Winer has completely changed my mind.
I don’t regret pushing my company to Slack last year. But in many cases, it creates as many problems as it solves. I was naive in thinking that a tool by itself would fix processes issues.
Great Vox video on app addictiveness. I do remember pull to refresh in Tweetie more fondly and less conspiratorially.
[…] Assistant will be able to understand you in multiple languages fluently.
Wow. Will work first on English, French and German, but this is amazing.
Well, movie night got off to a fun start. Stuck in a loop with Apple TV and recovery mode.
Apple TV hard reset was mostly painless. Sadly FetchTV crashes on launch (long live Fetch!). Moving my put.io based entertaiment to Squire — which is looking pretty good.

Why It’s so Hard to Actually Work in Shared Offices
A member of the cleaning staff— a young Spanish-speaking woman with a tight ponytail— was one of the few people actually working. She moved quietly, picking up the dirty mugs that people had left lying about and stacking them into the dishwasher. Her shirt was emblazoned with the company slogan: Do What You Love.
The best closing paragraph I’ve read this year.

Finally a lower priced Nest Aware plan ($5 a month, 3$ additional camera). My Nest wishlist from two years ago is almost done — just need better notifications.
Still happy with my WyzeCams, not likely to buy additional Nest’s.
