I want no screen. I want holographic displays that I can manipulate with my hands and voice.
I’d buy a Windows device if it done that.
Ethan off on his first school trip away from home. A few tears this morning from mum and little brother but he’ll back on Friday and I’m sure he’ll have a great time.
The Expanse is coming to Amazon Prime!
Great timing. I just cancelled my Prime subscription a few months ago.
Nicholas Bate’s Essential Tools of Excellence continues with the fixie. It’s the one bike that everyone should own.

No battle royale mode, a more realistic limited stand mode and playing the game as a female?
Dice are definitely winning me back after the Battlefront II fiasco.
James Mangold is working on a Boba Fett movie?
If Logan is anything to go by (fantastic btw), then we’re surely in for a treat.
Han Solo movie was fantastic. Being a Star Wars fan I might be a little biased. But only a little. 🍿
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to want to watch the NFL. First, the long-term damage that players suffer and now the NFL owners appeasing Trump.
Feels like I’m drowning in the digital landscape these days. I need to simplify my digital footprint.
The never-ending cycle of trying out apps and what I am doing about it
Everytime I try a new app or service out, it feels like I’m simply putting something else on my radar that I need to check.
A couple of weeks ago I installed an app to remind me to keep moving through the day and keep my water intake going. I deleted it this moring in favour of simply adding a few events to my calendar with reminders. Stupidly simple I know, so why didn’t I think of doing this first before wasting my time with another app?
There’s a flurry of apps that focus on one thing and do that thing really well, but the problem with this is that I end up needing an handful of apps each geared towards their own way of meeting my requirements. These single responsibility apps might be good at what they do, but they suck at everything else.
I’ve got a core set of apps that I use daily. These apps can be adapted to handle most of the things that these single responsbility apps do. They might not do them as well or with less eye-candy, but the result is often still the same.
My core apps at the moment are the following:
- Bear - For notes and capturing
- Fantastical - For time management and reminders
- Pocket - For long-term bookmarking and reading list
- Trello - Project management for client work
I should learn to use my core apps for everything I do now and adapt them to what I need them to in the future before installing another app to try out.
