Finally, I have a second brain! — I am currently addicted to Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte. If you’ve not heard of this concept before, I’ll explain what a ‘second brain’ is in a moment, but I’d like to first confirm that Forte’s book has completely transformed my relationship with Apple Notes — in one…

Which one is for you: M1 or M2? — One can assume that the pre-order date for the M2 MacBook Air is looming. Exactly when it’ll arrive is anyone’s guess, because all Apple has told us thus far is that the next generation of their no-longer-wedge-shaped laptop is “coming next month”. I can’t wait to get my hands on…

As it turns out, nothing IS interesting! — Hands up if you thought the Nothing Phone (1) was literally nothing to get excited about. Yep, me too. Following an attention-grabbing yet ultimately unsatisfying event earlier this year when Nothing showed, erm… nothing of the device itself, I’d personally forgotten it was even a thing. Then, good old MKBHD…

And how to create your own — There are many professions of which I’m not a part that I admire, but design definitely ranks among the top. I’m a terrible designer. I have no idea how colours complement each other, I fill white space when it should be left alone, and I overcomplicate everything. When I hand…

WWDC has got me very excited indeed… — WWDC was an interesting one this year, wasn’t it? The emergence of the M2 and the new MacBook Air was, as far as I’m concerned, a fascinating talking point, but paled in comparison to the OS and software updates. This might sound odd because beyond the next generation of CarPlay…

Apple (still) isn’t making this easy — Who would have thought we’d reach an age where there would be a legitimate purchasing decision between a MacBook Air and a super-powerful desktop Mac? That’s exactly where we are now, and this particular decision is one that I have a feeling plenty of people will be mulling over right…

And it was all iPadOS 16’s fault — I didn’t think it would happen this soon. I thought I’d stick to my guns. I thought I’d made such a brilliant point about the presence of the M1 chip in the iPad that I’d never have to go back on my word. Whoops. Last week, I ordered an M1…

And should you buy one today? — I didn’t think I’d be talking about the MacBook Air quite so much this summer. But that’s exactly what I’m doing, because a lot of people are going to buy one over the next couple of months. That’s all well and good, but there’s a problem this time around. We…

Don’t listen to the trolls! — A reader on Medium recently pointed out that I was using an affiliate link in one of my articles. He did so in a manner that suggested he’d caught me with my hand trapped in the cash register. When you turn the process of creating content into a revenue-generating endeavour…
