It should be noted: Sandwich is the only video-slash-advertisement-slash-production company I recognize, by name. I think that tells the exact tale needed to showcase Sandwich’s team’s talent.

Count me as one of those guys surprised by that first laptop stand. I’m going to give one of the three stands I have sitting in my closet a shot before ordering, but that cheapo Amazon stand looks surprisingly great.

Well said by Mr. Birchler (who, might I add, has been on fire recently. You should subscribe to his site.) Going stock-apps-only is an increasingly honourable way to go. I’m stock Mail, Messages, and Safari, but third-party everything else.

I’m much the same as Snell: There are times when I’m working on a Mac where I run into a task I can only — or, perhaps, far more efficiently — complete on an iPad. The number of these tasks is increasing, to the point where I’d say, at best it’s a 50/50 split. In all likelihood, I’m probably 80/20 in favour of the iPad.

Crazy statistic in here: “Meanwhile, our household debt as a per cent of net disposable income is at 182 per cent compared to 105 per cent in the U.S.” Someone told me once that living through 18% interest rates was the hardest thing of their financial lives. I’m starting to think a combination of 2% interest rates and 52% tax rates is even worse.

I appreciate Patrick’s reminder to print in your journal. Longevity is important. I do admit though, I don’t feel like I have enough time in the day to get all my thoughts down in a pen and paper format, so I default to typing because it’s faster.

I understand this video is 25 minutes long, but the moment the Sudoku Master begins to realize the puzzle is possible, you’ll be sucked in for good. So much fun to watch.

I’m continuing my rabbit hole digging today. In all likelihood, I should have started with Keyboard University yesterday, but here we are. ABS, PBT, doubleshot, dye-sublimation…. my head is spinning.

And if you’re into all those amazing, braided, artisan-esque micro USB/USB-C cables, it looks like Summit Cables has the most droolworthy options available for your mechanical keyboard. (Hat tip to Roger Ogden on this one.)
