  • News Corp Readies News App to Address Publishers’ Concerns About Google and Facebook - WSJ

    The service, currently called Knewz.com

    Great idea, atrocious name. I will never go to a website called Knewz.

    The service will aim to promote original news reports rather than those that are quick rehashes of existing articles

    Desperately needed! Very little orignal journalism/reporting going on these days.

    Editing on iPad

    Text selection: hard.

  • How to clean your Apple Card - Apple Support

    Place your card in a slot in your wallet or billfold without touching another credit card.

    Doesn’t play well with others. I guess we now need a range of 3rd party cases for Apple Card.

  • I’m deleting YouVersion from my phone. I hate how every devotional for dads or men takes on the same tired caricature of the modern man.

  • Ludovico Einaudi creates the most beautiful and inspiring music. Another great find thanks to Apple Music. 🎧

    I catch up with Benedict during his third day of Kindergarten. He shares so of the things he’s learning and we play a reading game.

  • It’s my Haiku-iversary! On this day last year, I composed two haiku about cleaning my house and I haven’t stopped yet! 🎉

  • It’s such a relief when a technical hurdle that slowed me down for days is resolved. Finished up a big project that clears the way for me to get back to editing.

  • $5/month for Apple Arcade is a decent price point. Much better than I was expecting.

  • NetNewsWire 5 for Mac Help: What is RSS? What are feeds?

    The good part is the part in the middle — that’s the part with the news.

    The best article description of what RSS is. Will be sharing this article widely when talking to people.

    Always good for a laugh.

    But we got it done.

    August 17, 2019
  • I like to support small software developers. It is, however, painful when you need technical support to keep working on a project, and wait you must!
