Also, when“reputable” futures markets appear, the speculation will work both ways. Contributing to a parabolic behavior on the BTC price.

Gemini PDA: 20 Years On, Meet The All New Psion Series 5

I want this… so much.

Head to head testing between Nest and Wyze cam starts now. Curious if the 10x price difference is reflected in features. One thing I still trust Nest more is security — Wyze will go on common areas for a while.

RememBear looks like a solid password manager from the TunnelBear people. Not moving away from 1Password anytime soon, but good to have around to recommend.

The best laptop ever made

Apple has made many great laptops, but the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro (2012–2015) is the epitome of usefulness, elegance, practicality, and power for an overall package that still hasn’t been (and may never be) surpassed.

Wish I’d written this. An open love letter to a great machine. I still think that an used 13in MacBook Pro is the best value for a laptop nowadays.

Winter is coming. However, if you do order an ark of the covenant, we are able to find it.

Just wasted a good 10 min on this app.

I’ve switched my writing (as if) to Ulysses, but IA Writter 5 is a very clean update. Looking forward to the Mac version.

This open letter to Apple regarding foreign taxes is the perfect example of why Scott Galloway says that Europe is going to be the downfall of the four tech giants.

CrossOver for ChromeOS (via android) is a very intriguing idea.

Today while playing Robie told me Papi, cell aquí and pointed to the floor so I’d put the iPhone down. Multiple emotions, including amazement and a pinch of shame.

Taking a break from Sci-Fi, started The Nix by Nathan Hill last night.

Excited for Firefox 57 on the desktop and Firefox 10.0 on iOS coming next week.

Been trying to send money to Costa Rica for almost a week… so I welcome our upcoming Apple Pay for iMessage overlords.

Some app updates make me hungry.

The building blocks of Saturday.

Giving up on New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson. Usually love his books, but this is a mess of a novel. Story is all over the place and characters are two-dimensional. Really doesn’t read like him.

No iPhone X for me. Rational reason is cost saving, but there’s something else. I struggle with staring at my screen when life is happening around me, and an iPhone that’s all screen is a metaphor too clear to ignore. So checking out of the upgrade race this year.
