The compatibility of USB C needs a giant “terms and conditions apply” sticker. It’s so tricky to find cables and know they will work with another device.

This week I learned how to make fake latte art because I came up with a terrible Pun about my company’s name. So for your pleasure, here’s the Pompom spiced latte (I actually have some pumpkin spiced syrup and we were going to make this for real as the founder can do latte art. But he’s looking after his kids at home for the next few weeks).

A coffe with the pompom logo in it.

Welcome to autumn and the return of one of my favourite words “Autumnal.”

It just feels like a warm blanket and cup of hot chocolate.

Looking at the rumoured iPhone 14 colour line up. I always have this feeling that I want to get something more unusual…but I know I’ll play it safe with black in the end.

But I think I could persuade myself to choose green.

P.s. I’d love an orange option.

This morning my daughter announced that her room is now the Teddy Bear’s Restaurant (I resisted checking if it was a restaurant run for Teddy’s or where one can eat Teddy’s).

My teacher instinct kicked in and now I’ve started planning a project based learning syllabus where we going to make a menu, design a logo, cook and test the recipes, plan how we can market the restaurant etc.

One early decision, it serves Italian food and Unicorn cake.

Also I need to buy more sugar this weekend.

I was today years old when I learned that Parmesan has no lactose in it. A member of the family is very happy with this news.

I opened my wife’s Mac to update some software and no apps opened.

It was so refreshing compared to mine where five apps need to open and stop you from doing anything.

Maybe I could turn some off?

Back in Poland after a great time in the UK.

I wanted to share some photos but I left my Ricoh GR there (and I didn’t download any while I was there).

Whoops

Frustrating mac app marketing stuff.

  1. You can’t redeem an app offer code on the mac, just iOS. So we want to offer our mac users a special back to school promo through a link, but we can’t. We have to add a promo in our app and a special URL for that!
  2. You can’t do Apple App store ads for the Mac app store (Although as a user, that’s probably a plus! Still from my limited App store optimization research, the default search results aren’t great!)

It’s fairly obvious that the mac is an after thought.

Welcome to the low-cal calzone zone.
