Terminology Dictionary App Store Review: Very possibly the best dictionary app on the platform. Depending on your purpose for a dictionary app, this is the best one on iOS. I use mine to both look up established words and store words I’ve “created.” A lot of the words I want to store come from @HaggardHawks on Twitter, and most of them are …

a-Shell App Store Review: The notable boundary-pusher in the iPadOS/iOS local command line. There are now quite a few terminal emulator-esque apps on the App Store, but I’ve been using a-Shell since it was joined only by Blink (from which it was forked) and iSH. As it was then, a-Shell remains the only one of these …

Jayson App Store Review: I Am No Longer Afraid of JSON All of Simon’s apps are genius and wholly unique, but Jayson will always have a special place in mine own heart as the single application which finally killed my phobia of JSON, in general. It is by far the most elegant and intelligent means of manipulating JSON …

Keychron K2: Having broken my beloved Varmilo VA108M (which I absolutely intend to fix one day in the near future, FYI,) months ago and just last week completely totaled the period (.) key on my Absurdly Overpriced Toilet Professional iPad Keyboarding Apparatus, I decided to buy an on-sale variant of Keychron’s …

TextExpander App Store Review: I know a lot of the reviews here express discontentment with TextExpander’s support on iOS. I hear that, but - as a Bear and Drafts user - I rarely encounter this as a limitation. I also use an external keyboard with my iPhone, though, which makes calling the TextExpander keyboard anywhere else …

On Drafts&#39; Mail Integration: One of the app's most universal 'native' advantages, revisited. I've spent more cumulative time playing with my Obsidian configuration in the past 24 hour hours than the sum of the whole I'd spent doing so in the 3(?) years since I installed beta (or was it alpha?) one. While I still find it janky …

Fucking Off Forever*: *Or at least until I can regain a reasonable editorial perspective of current happenings.

This summer has abruptly brought some life happens which will …

Siri Shortcuts and the DJ Screw Discography: The most magical configurables I've ever created for iOS by a long way. Though I don't believe I've ever discussed it, here, the continuance of the fandom for Houston music legend, DJ Screw, on into the 21st century is an issue I remain very invested in. I doubt you want to hear much about it, but …

iPod Shuffle First Generation Anecdote: Sorry I’m so late with this but I forgot I had something to contribute lol. My first and only dedicated mp3 player was a first-generation iPod Shuffle — which was not only the most elegant looking USB drive one could find at the time, but — imo — remains the single highest-value mainstream consumer …

TildeTown on iPhone with Blink Shell: The ideal means of On The Go participation in The Tildeverse.

I was living in an …

Run Siri Shortcuts with Hyperlinks: Imagine running shortcuts from anywhere you can place a link. There seemed to be a bit of confusion regarding a shortcut I posted on RoutineHub a few days ago entitled “Generate Shortcuts Run Links List,” so I thought I’d attempt to overview how I’ve come to use Shortcuts’ URL scheme as my primary …

Apple Rag Review: A quick review of Apple, Inc’s first venture as a textile company.

Make no mistake — I did virtually nothing to create the following themes, nor do I know anything about Telegram theme development, generally.

Is Sienna Guillory my Mom?: in This Present Time I can have regular interactions with my adolescent celebrity crush that I *actually* would not be able to convince my 14-year-old self are real. not because of their significance but the opposite. calling her mom is like... the only even remotely reasonable outcome, btw. she …

Writing the Definitive Guide For Using an iPhone With a Bluetooth Keyboard: Writing the Definitive Guide For Using an iPhone With a Bluetooth Keyboard When I graduated high school in the Spring of 2012, my mom offered me a choice: I could go to Community College with a new laptop, or a new iPhone.

Textcraft App Store Review: Elegant, diverse, instant text transformations I’m a fan of Shihab Meboob’s, you might say - Aviary and Mast are the most innovative social clients I’ve ever seen.

Thread on The Social Dilemma: Notably missing from both the film and this interview: not only have these issues been discussed and researched for decades, now, but a biome of alternatives to EVERY SINGLE CRITICIZED COMPANY/SERVICE EXISTS and HAS EXISTED for years. bit.ly/3fd3Xxn there is a search engine that is basically just …

The Social Dilemma’s Dilemma: The Social Dilemma’s Dilemma The pop culture discussion of tech’s greater issues missed in (at least) two major ways For those of us who’ve written about technology, generally, for quite a long time, any injection of the broader metaphysical/”ethical” conversation regarding the impact the industry …

(I could just be extrapolating.) You cannot make a living as a “writer.” That is — the ability to effectively (or even extraordinarily) arrange words has no inherent value. It’s a good …

E: E — Skrillex (@Skrillex) May 15, 2010 It came to my attention today that my good friend Sonny Moore (commonly known as Skrillex) Tweeted “E” from his BlackBerry at 0732 CST on May 15th, 2010. If I’m ever given the opportunity to interview him, I’ll begin by questioning his …
