It’s been a tough week, gang! I have a long history of back problems, which over time I’ve mostly managed to keep under control. However, every year or so I’ll have some kind of flare-up that puts me on the shelf. Unfortunately, that happened earlier this
I can’t believe it’s August already! I don’t specifically feel like this year is going quickly, but looking ahead to the busyness of September, I can’t believe it’s already so close. Important family follow-up: Sophia can now roll unassisted! She’s only going from
It’s been an exciting week for me! Thank you all for the kind words about my new role with Cross Forward. I’ve started digging into some research about target markets and am already fascinated by it. I can’t wait to see what I do with it. I
This week I have taken on a new role at Cross Forward — the makers of Widgetsmith, Pedometer++, and other fine apps. I’m sure you all know this means I am working with Underscore David Smith and Stephen Hackett. Stephen has been working with Underscore for quite some time now,

Today I published the next episode of the State of the Workflow series we’re running on Cortex. This time, I welcomed John Gruber to the show. I’ve been reading Daring Fireball for as long as I’ve had any interest in technology, so it was fascinating to hear
Hello! I hope you’ve had a good week. I’m writing this today while on the train on my way to the gym. It’s starting to heat up again in London this week, so pray for me. Sophia is getting close to rolling over now—she keeps getting
Today marks 10 years since Stephen Hackett quit his day job to turn his attention to Relay and his other creative projects. I was so happy when he finally did this. At this point I had been independent for around 8 months, and I was desperate to have Stephen put
Thank you for all the positive notes about this post format. I’m going to try to make this a weekly thing. Over the past few days, it’s been refreshing for me to pay attention to the things I’m enjoying so I can share them with you. It
Something I am playing around with is writing a post at the end of each week that wraps up the week that was. I was thinking it could be the combo of a journal entry (or a ‘Now page’), and a collection of things I have enjoyed through the week.
I just got out of seeing F1, and I am so pleased to say they did it. They did the thing! It’s a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled, kinda corny, wonderfully shot, good-time action movie. What I hoped for most from this film was to see F1 cars — in
When I started podcasting in 2010, my first show was a pseudo-interview podcast. We had guests on each week to talk about themselves and then a little about tech news. Later, this show became CMD+Space and then Inquisitive. With these iterations, I took the interviewing part more seriously,
