I hate spiders. Smaller they are, creepier they get. I think that man with a suit has just made them scarier.
I’ve now switched to Castro — this is a wonderful app with some thoughtful design choices. PocketCast is too “formal”, bland but perfectly functional. Overcast has some design elements which just don’t make sense - its indecision on how to display show notes always bugs me.
As I enter the 35th year of existence, I am made to realise that my health is my most priceless possession, one I need to focus on closely. And this time I am serious. So here’s to a year of health, and hopefully this’ just a beginning.
Woke up to find that Amazon just brought a bag full of “things”, untied it on stage and started throwing it against the wall. No one has any idea if what try hurled is genuine or shit and if it will ever stick. Bezos feels he has found a way to be successful with devices.
I find it fascinating that Hello Internet is placed under Education category in Overcast. In the company of Ted Talks, Simplify etc. It would be interesting to know what @BradyHaran thinks about it, of course there’s so much to learn :-)
This is a month of change - I was forced to change the desk I work from. And I thought this is a good opportunity to take it a step further. Change is something I always like. It gives your brain that extra incentive to work more, to kick yourself out of your comfort zone.
Tranquility of a lake amidst the idling mountains never fails to mesmerise.
To be frank, I am left a bit disappointed with today’s event. May be it is about wrong expectations, but nothing that is launched excites me. Not that the device iPhone Xs and the max one are not marvellous — they indeed are. But not something I want — may be an October event?
So, iPhone SE is dead then for Apple? Why do these companies keep hating us people who want smaller phones? And they do not ship their “low cost” iPhones till October, only shipping $999 ones in September? Wish there are some answers to these in few hours.
The fact that Chrome is the only one among the top browsers that does not have a native reader mode tells you about Google’s priorities (others being Safari, Firefox which do). Chrome will never do what’s best for its users because it will not be good for their business.
