September is here! Well, that’s how it feels to me — even if technically there are still a few days left. This past week we got the iPhone event announcement, and we officially launched our fundraising campaign for St. Jude. Both of these things feel very September to me. So
Every year since 2019, the Relay community has come together to raise money for the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since then, we’ve raised over $4,000,000 to support their lifesaving mission. I was first introduced to St. Jude nearly 15 years ago, when I
Happy Friday! Sophia is six months old today. It’s wild that we’re already halfway to a year. Some days are amazing, some days are hard — but every day has felt like a blessing. We’re lucky to have her. As I mentioned last week, Relay turned 11 on
There's a new episode of the State of the Workflow series out today: Myke talks to Simone Giertz about her workflow for turning ideas into products, from early sketches and CAD prototypes to manufacturing, launching, and running a product studio alongside her YouTube channel. I’ve followed Simone’
Today marks Relay’s 11th birthday. While each individual year doesn’t carry the same weight as the 5th or 10th, the fact that we’re still here all these years later means a great deal to me. In recent months, there’s been a fresh wave of chatter about
For many years, we’ve been lucky to work with animator HM Boutet on a series of animated videos for Cortex. These videos originally started as something HM produced for their own YouTube channel, and we loved them so much that we commissioned them for the official podcast YouTube channel
If you’ve listened to any of my podcasts this week, you’ll know my back pain is still continuing. It’s been a pretty frustrating week in that regard. I’ve been doing my best to take it easy, follow expert advice, and I think things are starting to
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 week
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 back
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,
Happy Friday! As an update from last week, Sophia still isn’t rolling yet. I’m not stressed about this, by the way, as I know every child reaches milestones in their own time. But this has been the first milestone she’s taken noticeably longer to develop. It feels
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 the highest quality
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, and
I am very excited about the F1 movie that’s out next week. It’s a movie focused on my favourite sport, financed by my favourite tech company. But the reason I’m most excited about this movie is who’s behind it—Joseph Kosinski, the director of Top Gun:
Do yourself a favor and spend some time today reading Federico’s fantastic—I’ll say—profile of iPadOS 26 and how Craig Federighi thinks about the iPad’s place in Apple’s lineup. I don’t want to spoil this article, but I just wanted to share my favourite
Siri has fallen behind the competition and shows no sign of catching up, Phil Schiller has recently shown some courage, the Mac Pro has gone for years with no updates, leaving people questioning Apple’s commitment to pro customers, there are still bugs in the various OSes prompting calls for
Back in March this year, Mark Gurman published his first reporting of the upcoming redesign that we would see in iOS 26. This article references visionOS as the reference point for a redesign. Future reporting from Gurman also spoke of a 'digital glass' interface that would see more
Every year there are some WWDC videos worth watching, even if you aren’t a developer. This year, Meet Liquid Glass should be required viewing for anyone who cares about Apple’s operating systems. This video shows in great detail how Apple has considered the interaction and interface of Liquid
