One thing that totally blew up my schedule this January was being offered the unique opportunity to write a review of David Pogue’s book “Apple: The First 50 Years” for The Wall Street Journal. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity, and so I read a 500-page book about Apple history on my beach vacation!

@marcoarment The various bugs I trip on daily are very frustrating. Easy answer for me on this one though is the WorkOutdoors app. Fantastic app… reliable for many years.

@marioguzman I have found SteerMouse to be a good utility to use instead of Logi Options. It has worked well for me for a couple of years now.

@twostraws If any one is seeking an alternative to Apple Workouts, I can’t recommend WorkOutdoors highly enough. Really excellent software with a superb watch app. Very highly configurable. It has been my AW go to for years. And… it’s developed and maintained by a single indie dev (I think).

@czottmann Oh yeah… same here, though a 12 mini. As one who normally leans in to the “latest and greatest” I dread the day I am no longer able to use this lovely phone. Such a great form factor
