Gotta Share ’Em All

There’s a new Pokémon game out this week, which is always an exciting time for me. However, I haven’t had any time to play it yet. That’s the trade-off I need to make these days, as my work and family life allow for a lot less

The Enthusiast Weekly – October 10, 2025

This past week has been interesting and exhausting. I’ve spent most of the last seven days focused on social media content for our Cortex Brand products. As I mentioned last week, my friends at Yuzu Studios were over in London so we could shoot photos and videos to promote

$753,756

Thank you for supporting our fundraising work for St Jude this year. We are so proud of the amount we have raised together. Please read what Stephen has to say, but I want to quote him here as I could never put it better: We just wound down our annual

The Enthusiast Weekly – October 3, 2025

Happy Friday! I hope your week has been good. We were very happy to pass our goal for the St. Jude campaign last weekend. I’m really looking forward to sharing the final number when it officially closes on Monday. I have a busy weekend ahead. Over the past year

The Enthusiast Weekly - September 26, 2025

September is almost over — and what a month it’s been. Busy season is underselling it. My time in Memphis went great. It was wonderful to see so many friends, but the work was intense. I ended up spending about four days at St. Jude, including the 12 hours of

My First App Updates

It was an honour to work with David and Stephen on the app updates released today by Cross Forward. Most of my time over the past couple of months has been spent on Widgetsmith. I’m really proud of the new features we’ve added to make it easier than

Casey Newton – State of the Workflow

I published a new episode of Cortex today: Myke talks to Casey Newton about his workflow for running Platformer, from idea capture to writing and publishing, and how he balances reporting with access to some of the most powerful people in tech. Casey is one of my favourite reporters in

The Enthusiast Weekly — September 12, 2025

What a week! It really was as busy as I thought it would be. From getting the iOS 26 versions of Widgetsmith and Pedometer++ ready for launch next week, to reporting on the iPhone event, to making sure I have everything wrapped up before leaving for Memphis this weekend — it

The Best iPhone Lineup in Years

After yesterday’s Apple event, I came away feeling this may have been one of the most solid overall lineups in a very long time. Each of the models has a compelling set of features, and I think this is a strong upgrade year — even if you’re coming from

The Enthusiast Weekly — September 5, 2025

We’re in it now, folks — it’s well and truly iPhone season. I’m really looking forward to the keynote event on Tuesday. With rumours of a refreshed design for the Pro phones, new AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the iPhone 17 Air, it feels like we’

Enthusiastic Recommendations — August 29, 2025

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

Relay for St Jude 2025

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
