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

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
