A risk taking Apple

Smart glasses are interesting but Apple are more focused on Vision Pro. Glasses I can wear in place of my prescription ones that overlay data would be cool but I don’t see Apple risking it. It would be a product I’d be interested in but I have no

Kottke gets some new features

Hey folks, I just wanted to update you on some things I’ve launched recently at the ol’ dot org. I’ve been a fan of Kotke since first listening to Jason on The Talk Show for the 20th or 25th anniversary. Sometimes it’s a lot to digest, as

Writing for connection

It helps me to consider my writing as a bid for connection with the reader. I'm pointing something out, asking for joint attention. It doesn't have to be an earth-shattering new idea or the most exciting piece of content ever. It's just a

My design process
