In the process of cancelling my renewal for 1Password I noticed they were charging me more than their standard advertised rate. I was paying $5.49 per month, as opposed to their standard $4.99.

The March of Electron: 1Password Edition

I despise Electron apps. What is the point of having a superior operating system (macOS) if every app that resides on it is nobbled by not supporting basic elements of the underpinning system? I see the short-term reason that developers must use: standardised code, cheaper for development, most users don’t know/care. I also caution about the long-term losses: the damage to brand reputation, the disappointment of ‘power users’ and the risks that can occur from alienating this group.

Pfizer jab #2 has definitely knocked me around, but totally worth it. I’m getting awesome 5G coverage, I missed a phone call from Bill Gates and the deep State have sent me a manilla folder with mission details inside! What a day! 💉

I’ve got a nice Drafts template built that populates a standardised OmniFocus project.

I don’t love the direction OmniFocus is moving in. SkedPal is full-on and challenging. I’ve never tried Things. Should I?

The FaceTime Centre Stage thing on the M1 iPad is amazing. Used it for the first time today and it was like having an on-site camera man. Mind blowing.

USA Lose Another Basketball Game

This is what Damian Lillard said after the USA lost to France in their first 🏀 game of the Tokyo Olympics: “I think that’s why a lot of people will make it seem like the end of the world, but our job as professionals and this team and representing our country at the Olympics, we’ve got to do what’s necessary and we still can accomplish what we came here to accomplish.
