Apple Passwords

I’m excited about the passwords app from Apple. As a 1Password user for years, I've love great password management and, controversies aside, feel like 1P has nailed it. I keep hundreds of logins locked away in my 1Password vault, protected by TouchID and a long safe password,

Canva for the rest of us

Catching ideas

I have ideas all the time. Most are fleeting and not fully flushed out. Some ideas are for things I want to write, others are things I want to say, and still more are creative projects I want to try. Recently I’ve started putting all that into Apple Notes.

On failure

Failure is an interesting word. My brother and I were talking about it earlier today. First, I love how stories get to the heart of so many things we wrestle with each day. From a recent quote I learned, attributed to Cassandra Clare: Fiction is truth, even if it is
