After literally months of work, I’m finally ready to launch a project I’ve been working on: Discourse, an interview podcast about the story behind influential people. I discovered podcasts three years ago, and have continued to be fascinated by the various formats and styles of podcasts that are possible within this medium, whether they’re interview […]

When the iPhone 5s launched in September of 2013, it was, for a lot of people, a less exciting launch than that of the iPhone 5 the year before. A tock product of Apple’s tick-tock iPhone release cycle, it was, by definition, an iteration of the phone the year before. Externally, the lauded design remained […]

2015 has been a spectacular year indeed. This year has been one of the busiest yet for Apple, who have expanded their product reach to a whole new level with the intimate companion the Apple Watch tries to be, as well as relaunching the Apple TV with a promising (yet underdeveloped) focus on apps as […]

I read all kinds of technology articles in my spare time, ranging from those produced by independent writers to large technology columns by journalists with years of experience behind them. I love reading about technology, but there’s one area in which many writers, no matter their experience or education can write truly accurately, and that’s […]

Mashable’s Katie Dupere wrote an invigorating profile about Jordyn Castor, a software engineer at Apple who happens to be blind. She currently works on enhancing VoiceOver for blind users. At that job fair in 2015, Castor’s passion for accessibility and Apple was evident. She was soon hired as an intern focusing on VoiceOver accessibility. As […]

A fascinating open letter to Tim Cook by Zoe Olson, who saved up a year’s worth of babysitting money to buy an iPad Pro and Pencil to kickstart her illustrating career. At 15 (my own age), she bought an iPad Pro with her own money to start drawing and sharing her illustrations online. Soon enough, […]

My favorite new writing app, Ulysses, just launched their universal app to the world, adding an iPhone version of the professional writing app, after three months of beta-testing. Also check out their new site, which looks great, and expect a review on Yellow Signal soon. Meanwhile, as The Soulmen co-founder Marcus puts it so eloquently […]

Matt Birchler wrote a spot-on and comprehensive pieces about how Apple can take the Apple Watch further. While the whole article is accurate, I’m especially partial to his analysis of the Workout app, which seems very limited, and I’m sure leaves everyone wanting more: Workouts has very basic functionality, but the functionality that is there […]

I had the great honor of having my Mac and iOS setup featured on The Sweet Setup, one of my favorite websites ever. If you’re (somehow) not familiar with them, I consider them to be The Wirecutter of Apple software. While my setup has changed a bit since the interview, conducted in May 2015, you’ll […]

Recent events have made me very disappointed in the actions of ‘Samantha Bielefeld’, someone who you may have heard of. While I don’t understand the whole situation, I understand that ‘Bielefeld’ is actually a man pretending to be a woman in order to write from a ‘unique’ perspective. I feel betrayed by this, but more […]

Manson Reece writes a wonderful piece on his blog: It’s March 2009, the height of SXSW in Austin before the conference gets too big for itself. I’m hanging out downtown with tech folks from a blogging startup, having dinner and beers before we head to the party they’re putting on. The CTO, one of the […]

Adam Popescu scored a great chat with Ev Williams for The Verge, where Williams discusses Medium’s future, how it’s worked compared to the original vision, and how writers and readers can connect through Medium. The part that sticks out to me is this bit about the hole the Medium fills in social media: I started […]

Robb Shecter is an attorney and software developer, and he translated Apple’s mind-boggling El Capitan software license agreement into plain English for us to follow along. Here’s some of the bits I find interesting: Apple didn’t sell me this software. They still own it, in fact. I’m just borrowing it. I knew there had to […]
