With MacBook Neo joining the lineup, there’s no better time to stop thinking about the computer as just the chip inside. It's time to start thinking of the whole package.

Threads was supposed to be a new take on corporate social media and…it’s really not, is it? They kinda just gave up on the whole Social Web thing…

It’s time for the most dangerous model to have been released to die, hopefully freeing many from their AI psychosis

A lot of people write off their staying on Twitter or giving Trump useless trophies as doing what they need to do to have a seat at the table; that maybe if they stay they can do something to make things better.

Don’t just hand all of your ideas over to some company, publish them somewhere that’s sustainable and a place that you can control

For the longest time, if you wanted to develop on a platform with reach, you’d build on Windows. Though recently we’ve been seeing a whole host of AI apps that are coming to the Mac first.

Apple’s big, sweeping changes at the executive level can cause chaos, but there’s also potential for a lot of good here

Dia’s finally starting to come into its own as the successor of Arc and the future of The Browser Company

Apple showed us that it’s still the company we all became fascinated with—and the company with English narrators and white backgrounds

AI is everywhere, but that’s not forever. We’ve seen this kind of thing happen many times and when the dust clears, I believe that good products will emerge.

Dia is starting to get into more people’s hands and, honestly I’m really not that impressed right now

Google must have read my last blog post because this is the kind of attention to detail that I'm talking about

Yeah it’s time for the autistic person to do a post about texture

I’ve finally hit the acceptance stage of grief following the end of Arc’s journey

I think iPad is a great little device, but I think people need to make better apps for it (myself included)

If I’m being honest, I’m not really concerned about Apple’s ability to make this happen

It’s important to understand the systems you are trying to dismantle so that you can do it without unintended consequences

As Apple’s silicon has evolved over the past few years people are asking “who can use this power” well, here’s who

Here’s my attempt at the music blog challenge—I don’t know how but I think this is more chaotic than the tech one

Here's my sleep-deprived attempt at the technology blog challenge going around—I'm sorry (no I'm not)

Sometimes people like to conflate “choose how you react” with “ignore the problem” but that’s just not it

So I spent the better part of two weeks converting (most of) my productivity system to Notion, but some things didn’t move over. Here’s why.

Stage Manager is one of those super controversial Apple features, I figured I would share some thoughts on it

People are mad at Bluesky over their moderation policies…but it’s a decentralized service with composable moderation

We all know about the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, lots of people are celebrating his death, let’s talk about it

Apple's kinda infamous for giving a lot of their products stupid names and we're going to get into exactly why they do

Oh don't we all love the stupid little ape pictures? Yeah, didn't think so, but I do like the tech so let's talk about it.

Well, people are mad at another company again. Big surprise. Let's talk about people fleeing Threads and the Fediverse for Bluesky.

Reviewers seem to treat Macs differently when it comes to how they perceive particular upgrades—here’s why I think that happens

It seems like Big Tech is no longer the haven of progressivism it once was—thanks to the power of a shitload of cash

With the election behind us, everyone has their ways of processing their emotions, and I decided I would put mine out there for everyone to see

Modern companies seem to be able to base their entire valuation on the words of their CEOs, even if the actual business activity of the company is at odds with that statement

For the love of all that is good and holy
