Clicks Keyboard
Look, this was never going to be a device I loved. And I suspect most won't love it in 2024, even though many would have in 2008. But kudos to Clicks for trying something new and old in our era of black slabs of glass. This is old

Long-term unemployment
He’d been plagued with long-term unemployment for quite some time before this, and really I think he was supposed to be a comedian and not a worker bee. Megan shares her own struggles with unemployment and adds on with a story of her cousin who took their life
Magazine culture
As I buy and enjoy a lot of magazines throughout the year, I was curious myself. And I’m glad I did, as I found several that I did not know existed until I started looking. I love magazines. As an illustrator and graphic designer I loved pouring through pages
Reading for anxiety
In the spirit of trying to be a reflective and self-aware person, I’ve recently wondered why I’ve always been a reader. Beyond the enjoyment of it, the pragmatism, the vanity of wanting to appear smart, why do I read, really? What is perhaps my deepest motivation when
Box office woes

Creating a focused Threads feed
I recently had a friend ask me how I've shaped my Threads experience. Over the last year I've found it quite delightful to use. Part of the reason is there are a small group of people I've followed from Twitter to Mastodon to Threads.
Apple Watch for kids
Targeting the Apple Watch (or a cheaper version of it) to kids is the smartest thing Apple has done in years. Last year on ATP, Marco talked about setting up his pre-teen with an Apple Watch. It was the first time I’d heard a parent trying this, so
(Untitled)
Life’s hard, and it will bring pain, emotions, challenges, tears and scars. There’s no need to generate more pain, and bring more tears where they aren’t necessary. Love these words from Michal.
So you want to read?
I’ve talked to a lot of people over the years who don’t enjoy reading. Some of it is personality, some of it is feeling forced to read for school. My premise is that most people can enjoy reading under the right circumstances. For me it comes down to
