Bear is one of those apps that either clicks with you or it doesn't. Unless you're me, for whom sometimes it clicks and sometimes doesn't. I'm trying to follow through on my promise to Reduce & Simplify this year, so for the
So far today, (as of 9:57 am) I have installed three apps that I had deliberately avoided installing on the new Mac Mini. MailMate because I just quit Hey but still wanted something different to play with. I've used MailMate on and off since sometime in 2013
Something I've always liked about TiddlyWiki is that I'm never forced to decide where something goes or what it's named. I can simply click on the new tiddler button, type something, and hit save. Links, tags, or other organization can be applied later, but
In the spirit of /Now and /Uses and /Hello pages, I've created a /Nope page. It's for keeping track of things I don't like or want to do. It's a work in progress, but it'll probably see more updates than
In a post from Andreas: Well, of course it’s great, even fantastic - for Adobe. They can lure you in with low prices, then gradually make the subscription more expensive, and then move the features you use to the “premium” tier where you have to pay even more. Not

I still keep an actual calculator on my desk, and use it regularly. I find it easier and more "stable" than using either a calculator app or even the built-in calculator in Raycast. I bought the Casio shown above years ago because it had a large screen and
Look what I found in the garage: It's my old Apple Extended Keyboard II from 1990 or 91. I last used this one in 2015. The AEKII uses an ADB port, so I had to dig out my ADB->USB-A adapter (save everything!). I'm typing
I switched from using Lightroom Classic (LrC) to Capture One Pro (C1) "for good" back in 2021. It wasn't because of Adobe's subscription model, or because I had some vague aversion to Adobe, the company. It was because I felt like I was getting
I know, I know, the reMarkable 2 tablet is designed as a digital replacement for writing on paper. It's not necessarily meant as a document reader. But that's what I've been using it for. For years now I've saved web articles as
howm is an Emacs package for taking notes. It was recommended to me recently, so I thought I'd take a look. The project page says "howm: Write fragmentarily and read collectively." Worth a shot, right? I haven't seen too many people talking about howm.
When I ordered the M2 Mac Mini I opted for the smaller 512GB internal SSD knowing that, since the Mini would be always-on, I could hang as much storage off it as I wanted. A hodgepodge of external drives scattered over my desk is not the prettiest setup, though. I
