just like the Lumia 800, I wanted to write a little blog post about an old phone. This one was important to me. The 1020 is the only Windows Phone that ever mattered. It was filled with compromises, as all Windows Phones were. It had fewer apps, it was a little slower than the competition, and the…

This was the first Windows Phone that was worth a damn. It’s certainly the only Windows Phone 7 Series that’s worth a damn. 3.7″ screen. 16gb of storage. Glorious, glorious AMOLED. It still looks better than any LCD on any iPhone. This model was my wife’s. Mine was cyan, and broke on the day I…

These are the Canadian magazines Apple News+ (formerly Texture/Next Issue) is offering. I’ve been reading magazines with my Library Card through Press Reader and Flipster, and noticed a good amount of overlap. So I went down the list to see just how many you could get for free (and read on your phone/tablet, just like…

Cal Newport, writing for the New York Times: Practically speaking, to be a minimalist smartphone user means that you deploy this device for a small number of features that do things you value (and that the phone does particularly well), and then outside of these activities, put it away. This approach dethrones this gadget from…

TL:DR: I thought about buying an Apple Watch and did some research. I ultimately decided it’s not for me. Now, for the longer version. I had a wonderful epiphany. I hate my phone. I don’t mean the iPhone SE specifically. Even in 2019, it’s still a great phone. It might be the most beloved iPhone…

I’ll write more, but so far I’m digging this nerdy AF routine RPG thing. Most tracking and task apps give you check marks. Habitica is about giving you more for completing your tasks and being good to yourself than just check marks. I’ve written about Productive and Streaks, and Habitica is more or less another one…

I can’t remember the last time reading Twitter made me happy. It’s been even longer since I’d wanted to post anything. I wasn’t using it as a communication device. It didn’t seem to serve any purpose beyond letting me see people yell at one another over things I used to like. I had a Twitter…

Usually, I just search for a blog post that would already have this information, but I couldn’t find one. So I decided to write up this experiment. I don’t like the iPhone Music app. I find the experience of browing, organizing, and listening to music with it is poor, and rating music with it is…

You have music you like. Somewhat inevitably, you might want someone else to hear it. What do you do? Okay, so the answer is YouTube. This is a hard question today. If you want to share music with even just one person, it might be hard. What if they’re not using the same streaming service…

Since I’ve been rebuilding my personal music collection in 2018, I thought this would be a good place to share where I find new music. This seems obvious, but I think it’s the main reason so many people’s collections got abandoned in favour of streaming services. If you don’t regularly add music, your collection will…
