I have come to realise that I use tidying up and decluttering as a form of stress relief for me. I’m pleased with this. There are worse ways to react and most of them aren’t useful.

I found out about the service perlego.com today. Its a text book subscription service and I am genuinley excited about it. I am also LIVID that no one has told me about it sooner.

1Password increased their price. This served as a reminder as to why subscription based tools are bad. I switched to Apple passwords in response.

After watching all the iTunes extras for Tron: Ares, I have decided that it is my third favourite Tron movie. I literally like them in the order they came out, with the original Tron being the best, to me. Though Tron Legacy has the best soundtrack …

Watched a Tron Ares, finally. Turns out, I really enjoyed it.

Once again, I am moved to say, loudly, that I adore Ulysses. It has been over a year since I found it, and I am still as amazed by it as I was on day one. It’s just the perfect balance between minimalism and features. With the addition of Vellum for …

Kagi won. Google lost.
Until a few weeks ago, I had not heard about Kagi. I think there is a chance that you haven’t heard about Kagi either.

iPad themed YouTube videos are all stupid.
I agree, strongly, that YouTube videos about anything Apple related are tiresome trash. And, I watch a lot of them because you have to wade through many, many, piles of rubbish to find the occasional useful app or website what you would otherwise …

I need a case to put my arcade stick in, when I’m not using it. You don’t think about the cost of storage when you buy an arcade toy. Maybe this is an important lesson about minimalism.

I have a lot on this evening, but im hoping I find time to watch Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not entirely sure why I have the urge to watch this every couple of years but i always enjoy it. If enjoy is the right word.

With all the discord nonsense recently, I find myself looking for an alternative, to have in th back pocket, just incase. Sad that we have reached this point tbh.

I just found out about candle powered lava lamps. This may have changed my life.

Logos Bible software has been great. I really wish I had embraced it sooner. Over the last couple of months it has overcome all my reservations and now I think it’s fab.

I just found the Maltese Vulkan in an unrelated folder on my Mac. Thought I would share it… again. Why? Because it made me lol.

When I think back to my childhood there seem to have been many of those novelty undersized tiny books. You don’t see them any more and I’m not sure you could recreate the experience with a tiny pdf.

The January update.
I haven’t been updating this site as much as I did earlier last year. I still post many ‘microblog’ style short form thoughts, but there have been less Long-form posts over all. This is, mostly because I have been really, quite busy.
I did, however, …

I have developed an odd habit of using the trackpad on my laptop (and iPad magic-keyboard) when I have a perfectly goof mouse on the desk. I think that this is a sign that I am finally a laptop-life native ☺️

DevonThink - It hurt the most.
Now, It’s true that in most aspects of my life, I am a reasonably frugal man. However, when it comes to technology, I’m willing to spend a little money to solve problems. It’s partly because I believe that giving developers money is a good thing, and …

I’ve wanted an arcade style controller for some time. I have had this 8bitDo controller in and out of my basket for at leats six months.
Finally after chatting about the topic with a controller enthused friend I pulled the trigger.
