I’ve loved Austin Mann’s iPhone camera reviews for the last few years.
Not because he shows off various new camera features, but because of the places he goes and how he looks at the world.
It seems he won’t be making one this year (I’ve never know him to be so late). That’s a shame.

The Sonoma wallpapers/screensavers are amazing! I wonder if @danalcantara is using the Scotland ones?

My favourite hacks to self-edit my writing.

  • Read the text out loud
  • Change the context of the text (i.e. google doc to WordPress editor. Or reader view on desktop).
  • Read backwards (great for finding typos. Takes forever though).
  • Use a speech to text program to read the text.
  • Search for some common misspellings (lead vs led. It’s vs its).

Do you have any tricks of your own?

I forgot what was coming in Sonoma. My top highlights

  • MOAR widgets
  • PDF autofill
  • better screen sharing

Sometimes I think the people who advocate for writing “rules” like “never use a semi-colon” only advise it as they don’t know how to use a semi-colon.

I am once again thinking about Pistis (John Barclay’s critique of Matthew Bates is the cause).

New word of the week: vacillate - to waver between two options, opinions, actions.

Not a new word for me, but one I never know how to spell.

Great relaxing weekend hiking with friends and little to no internet.

It’s amazing how people who start emails with URGENT start every email with urgent. It’s almost as if they view everything as urgent.

Also, starting an email with “URGENT” can actually increase the likelihood I’ll ignore it.

My feelings about a certain review.
