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. It makes the design of technology sleek, appealing and arguably leaves more room for important things like battery. Although…
For years the thoughts and rumours of iMessage on Android has been floating around. Depending on who you are listening to you get every response from "never going to happen" to "Apple need to do it". I have often been dismissive of this ever happening, but more recently I think it could work and really…

Anything from GDPR to Social Media harassment my answer - micro.blog. Many people don't understand. I've tried and failed to explain why micro.blog…
There are several narratives that exist through my blog posts. Productivity apps, Workflows and me trying to quit social media. The latest news in accordance with the latter, is trying to use Twitter more intentionally and it's working very well. We've all been there. Standing and a queue, waiting for something, or just generally any…
Despite Drafts being around for ages, I am very new to using it for any length of time. I've already posted about my love of the app after giving it a chance, so I won't go into that here but thought I'd share some of my most used and favourite actions. Send to Things I…
One of my most used apps Notability got a huge update today. I use this for marking up PDF, signing documents I receive through email, taking hand written notes and even the occasional doodle in brain storming sessions. The app is hugely versatile already but amongst the many improvements there are a few notable ones…
