Standing for Something
I want to see more companies start to actually take a stand on issues. That’s one of the things I respected about Basecamp. Until their cofounders kind of revealed themselves to have some serious issues, they had a track record of striving to be good citizens. For the most part, companies love to seem like…

Walk the Planck
If you know me you know my collection of clicky keyboards has been steadily growing since I bought my first one in April of 2012 (a Das Keyboard, if you were wondering). In recent years, though, I’ve developed an affinity for a specific subgenre of keyboards: keyboards that are 40–50% the keys of a full-sized…

The iPhone 12 belongs to the ages
The last phone I reviewed on here was the iPhone 5 back in 2012. I generally get a new phone each year, but I suppose I’m not religious about posting stuff on here. Looking back at that review, I remarked primarily on two things: speed, and the transition from the 30-pin connector to Lightning. While…

Keyboard Projects: Iris
Over the past year I’ve developed a periodic habit of going on keeb.io and just ordering up a kit for a keyboard just to try it out. Like with most mechanical keyboard supply shops, you have to keep a close eye on when things are in stock, but they have some fun and relatively simple…

Alpha Lima Foxtrot Romeo Echo Delta
Ever been on the phone with customer service and you need to spell something out, and you think “man, I wish I actually knew that NATO alphabet so I could spell out letters using words and sound like a military badass†Alfred lets you be that badass. You’ll need a third party workflow for this.…

Searching the Web Far and Wide with Alfred
This is a use case that got me addicted to application launcher style apps before Alfred even existed (back then Quicksilver was all the rage). It doesn’t take that long to Google something; you just go to an open browser window and type something in the address bar and hit Enter. If you’re savvy with…

Instant Bookmark Access with Alfred
I use a lot of different web apps throughout my work day, and I can’t be bothered to navigate to them all the time. Using Alfred to launch apps on my Mac is great but it’s too obvious a use case to be worth a blog post. However, Alfred does integrate with major web browsers…

The Moonlander Keyboard – First Impressions
When ZSA announced a new keyboard a couple of weeks ago and said it was in stock and ready to ship immediately, I managed to last about five minutes before clicking the Order button. ZSA, makers of the Ergodox EZ and more recently the Planck EZ, have stepped things up with a new keyboard that…
