Every dam time. Constantly. Always with the idiotic updates. Software update after software update that only happen when I want to pick my Xbox controller up and have a quick game in between the stresses of modern life. It doesn't matter if I've turned on update in the background or not because Microsoft love putting…
Thanks to the iPhone X OLED display I am even more in love with black wallpapers than normal. I roll my eyes a little when people claim to save battery, but they definitely save my eyes. Using black also seems to help not put as much stress on my brain. By switching to a black…
The simple fact is, Apple like removing things. From home buttons, to MacBook Pro ports, to headphone jacks - there is a relentless march towards a simple unibody design with as few cut outs as possible.

There are several narratives that exist through my blog posts. Productivity apps, Workflows and me trying to quit social media.
