I love reading about these kinds of experiments even if I only understand about every third word.

8:40am. I’ve signed a risk assessment and promised not to take any photos. WE’RE GOING TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM— Simon Smith (@simonfromharlow) May 21, 2018 I have no idea who Simon Smith is but this has got to be the … Continued

Are you looking for a better way to manage the relationships you build with customers? What about organizing your workload better? Is closing more deals vital to your business? If any of these sounds like you, then you seriously need … Continued

“Fed up” may be a misleading characterization of one of this loosely formed union’s “demands” but I agree the issue of free trials is a sticking point. I try out (and therefore buy) much less software from the iOS App Store than I ever did with the old shareware model specifically because I can’t “try before I buy” iOS apps.

Texas Resistance: I have a feeling that the vast majority of people on Twitter are not aware of how to take advantage of Twitter’s search capabilities. I’ve had people assume I spent a long time finding something when it took … Continued

My wife is a huge Seinfeld fan and I’m a huge fan of massaging data like this so we’re both happy.

Unfortunately, the panorama doesn’t include some of the more famous London skyline images.

Pick your material, press and hold the spacebar to start the lathe spinning, then click and move the mouse to start cutting.

Have not figured out how to get this to work on my iPhone. Please ping me if you work that out.

But on my Mac? Surprisingly satisfying.

These kinds of things fascinate me. For the record, I hear “Laurel”. Our 12-year-old son hears “Yanny”. But my Australian wife hears “yearly”. Weirdo.

You can skip ahead to 2:16:45 to see Cook’s speech. I couldn’t watch it because….well…it’s Duke.

This doesn’t feel like the “usual” money-grubbing lawsuit. I know anecdotes don’t equal data but this is a very widespread issue.

What an incredible story of a medical marvel and a kind, caring man.

My mother was a crossword solving fiend and would have loved competing in this tournament. Even if you’re not a high-level New York Times crossword solver, it’s a good story.

What a fascinating look at the population changes of Manhattan throughout the day and week.

The Guardian: >Almost everyone wears glasses at some point in their lives. In developed countries, the rule of thumb is that around 70% of adults need corrective lenses to see well. Those who need prescription glasses must try this cheap … Continued

This is really interesting. It makes sense that children don’t “need” to be taught skills they aren’t likely to ever need but it’s hard to let go of the analog clock.

This is wild and a little scary.

Many will dismiss these concerns as irrelevant but I personally believe they are crucially important.

This is no replacement for a yearly eye exam but, in a pinch, this seems a fantastic resource.

Ive can be obtuse in interviews sometimes but it’s still interesting to read his thoughts about design.

I remember when this was announced thinking, “Well, that’s never going to work…”

What an incredible story.

Dave and I take a look at the the iMac’s introduction and what it meant for Apple, even today. We also talk about this year’s Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductees and guitar players.

Escher is my favorite artist. The level of detail of these scans is remarkable.

While the iMac wasn’t a guaranteed success (there was a lot of Sturm und Drang over its design and technology decisions), it was a Hail Mary that turned into an incredible product for the company.

In my opinion, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of this announcement. I’ve long maintained that the iMac saved Apple. Without it, the company would not exist today.

Sadly, this news won’t stop the pundits from predicting the “death of the iPhone X” over the next 6 months or prevent the Tech Media from slavishly repeating those stupid predictions ad infinitum.

Good list of apps, both free and paid and there are even a couple I’m not familiar with.

I distinctly remember this video. I was a Mac consultant at the time and helped people buy and set up iMacs. Many of them were blown away by how easy and fast it was for them.

I look forward to many more analysts offering up the same apology.
