If it doesn’t have a feed it isn’t a podcast.
I subscribe to Marco Arment’s theorem:
On a long enough timescale, Dave Winer is usually proven right.
For 2019 we’re trying to have better controls of our expenses at home. After trying a few Apps, we settled on Next on the iPhone. It does an amazing job at expense input, and a adequate one at reporting.
After 1 month even Ana is enjoying the habit — or at least tolerating it. But the next step is some sort of conciliation, where we hopefully give it better name, and have some alcohol while doing it.
Just getting started, but Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke has me glued to the first chapter. A few more insights like the difference before decision & result — and it may be my favorite non fiction of the year.
Mario Kart for iPhone delay could also be related to the rumored game subscription service Apple is working on.
From an IT perspective ChromeOS devices are a dream come true. But going as far as offering Pixelbooks as MacBook alternatives for designers feels pretty aggressive. If they do become a solid dev machine with Linux stuff, then Win/macOS are going to feel the hurt.
What a week. Amazing how interests trumped ideology on my dislike towards those that are helping Venezuela.
At the same time awed over the will of people to not give up, and the bravery of leaders that don’t let them. I dare not dream, but will never criticize those who do.
After 11 years of use (10 of them paid), I’m taking a break from Dropbox. It’s still the best cloud drive software, but not sure anymore if worth the expense alongside iCloud. We shall see.
Learning about habit stacking has been a surprisingly powerful tool. It’s not a super power — because it’s not painless to use. But it’s impressive to see a mind hack that does consistently show results. Highly recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear
If the rumored iPad mini is the insides of a 2018 iPad 9.7 in a mini frame with Pencil support, sign me up for one.
Enjoyed First Man 📺. The claustrophobic scenes from inside the ships were enlightening. Any movie based on a book that makes me want to read the book gets extra points from me.
Hmmm, our next generation anti-virus at work might be getting a bit overzealous. Either that, or this Mac is about to blowup.
I don’t remember any of my Norwegian friends so militant about the matpakke lunch, but it was a fascinating cultural thing.
Absolutely best way to finish the year. Amazingly we saw the whole movie — and of course I loved it.
The fact there’s no XR leather case from Apple leaves little doubt that the iPhone XR is the cheap version of the XS — which was the opposite of why I told my Dad to get the XR as we entered the store.
Get your shit together Apple.
A very special Aruba Christmas
Vacation mode dock enabled.
The new Men In Black trailer looks very fun. Sadly the new Hellboy trailer felt off. Wish it was the other way around.
Must remember that a tall Starbuck’s flat white has two shots of espresso (ristretto actually). Speaking at 380 wpm — blank faces all around me.
When becoming a sofa is the highlight of a fun weekend.
Robie turned 3 today, and of course Ana organized an amazing birthday party. His whole afternoon smile made it totally worth it.
