Another Brief Showcase of Ulysses’ Visual Malleability
Another Brief Showcase of Ulysses’ Visual Malleability
I have been genuinely enjoying (for the most part) my several months-long journey, now, exploring the experience of perhaps the eldest elder iOS word processing application, Ulysses, and its just have to use it to discover delights.
Poking around for just a moment, I discovered what is apparently a quite excellent example of perhaps my least favorite sort of digital type: Monotype’s ITC American…
iPad CommandmentsSteve JobsFrom the original iPad’s launch event (January 27th, 2010,) these are the six tasks Jobs listed at which the iPad was to exceed the laptop and the smartphone.
The Original iPad Commandments
In order to really create a new category of devices, those devices are going to have to be far better at doing some key tasks. They’re going to have to be far better at doing some really important things better than the laptop [and] better than the smartphone.
Doing email.
Enjoying and sharing photographs.
Watching videos.
Enjoying your music collection.
Playing games.
Reading ebooks.
If there’s going to be a third category of device, it’s going to have to be better at these kinds of tasks than a laptop or a smartphone. Otherwise, it has no reason for being.
there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks… that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
As I’ve said before…
Tumblrites should celebrate… Automaticc seems to actually give a shit. Like, they’re unquestionably the most excited Tumblr acquirers in history.
Hi! We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99—that’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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 K2 with the loudest switches (the blue ones) available, assuming that surely no keyboard could be truly, disruptively loud.
I was very wrong.
I do love that one can connect it via USB-C (not that it makes sense in any situation I can imagine) and that there’s a dedicated screenshot key!

You ever stop and wonder what the fuck you’re doing with your life? I was looking through Google’s properties on the iOS App Store the other night when I discovered Sci Journal – which is advertised as “the free digital science notebook brought to you by Google,” though some basic research revealed that it’s apparently been recently acquired by Arduino. Regardless, all I really care about is the app’s ability to tap into the most basal data coming from my iPhone 8 Plus’ hardware sensors.
