I've been missing notifications from my partner because my ADD brain skipped the first one and I thought it was safe to assume all these toggles were emotionally symmetrical.

I'm using a Sequoia machine and a Tahoe machine daily — I'm already sick of Tahoe.

If you need an example of why Apple's new "UI floats over content now" approach is bad, I was wondering what the heck this new fist bump button was in the toolbar of my mail client...

Of course it's not a button, it's emoji in the email I'm reading, but when it lines up it's totally confusing for half a second, which is at least half a second too long for people to be confused by your UI.

(BTW, it's @dansinker's newsletter and it's his birthday, so go give him a fist bump ☺️)

A fun little personal project: I’ve turned an ancient iPad into a photo and notes frame for hanging on a relative’s wall.

It has a web-based CMS that configures all the settings, anyone with the info can add photos or notes, and it won’t crap out if the Internet goes down!

We have someone who has recently gone into assisted living, and we wanted some way to make sure they had family photos while also being able to communicate.
