⤷ The Art and Science of Spending Money ●

This may be the best article I’ve read in years. Maybe ever.

⤷ Keychron’s Q5 Pro Is a 96% Keyboard With a Full-Size Zero Key ●

I could well be wrong, but this is the first 96% board with that rare full-size number pad. It’s as close to an instant buy as I’ve ever had for a keyboard.

⤷ The Wandered Rogue 6L Sling ●

Speaking of cool camera bags, this small sling from Wandrd is significantly less expensive than the Oberwerth I mentioned earlier and comes in a variety of sexy colours. My friend Thomas has one of Wandrd’s Prvke backpacks and they are truly, truly well made.

⤷ The Oberwerth Q Bag is Ridiculously Expensive ●

Cute, fun little camera bag. But $600 USD? I imagine the only people buying this bag will be reviewers on YouTube. This makes the Leica x ONA Bags seem like a bargain.

⤷ Twelve South’s New DeskPad ●

Looks nice. I wonder how it stacks up to Grovemade’s options. We have Grovemade’s cork options at the office and they are excellent. Twelve South chose leather for their desk mat, so I’d be curious to find out how writing and other activities feel on the material.

⤷ Mode Design’s Anthracite Keycaps ●

Maybe the nicest keycaps I’ve ever seen. I wonder what they feel like.

⤷ Christian America’s Must-See TV Show ●

Whether or not you find yourself on the faithful side or the secular side, The Chosen is quite an interesting TV show, both in how its placed in the world of Hollywood and in the storytelling built around the actual Gospel truth. What I’m taking away from The Chosen so far: Jesus Christ was a far more loving and compassionate person than I seem to have grown up with. There’s no fire and brimstone here. Just water, wine, and donkey feet.

⤷ Aqueux Wallpapers Updated for macOS Monterey and Ventura ●

I had no idea Hector Simpson was still updating these amazing Aqueux wallpapers. I think the best two wallpapers of the bunch are the latest macOS-inspired options for Monterey and Ventura. It’s only $3 for the whole bunch.

⤷ The Practicality of Art in Software ●

Federico Viticci’s response to John Gruber’s response to Matt Birchler’s look at Android’s current array of app designs is making the rounds today. You’ve likely read it already. Many folks seem to be coming to the same conclusion: The Mac is a powerhouse computer and doesn’t get in the way of what you’re trying to do, while the iPad is that unicorn computer with brimming potential that falls flat on its face year after year. Put me in the same boat. My 11-inch M1 iPad Pro is by and large my kids’ first computer after being relegated to the sidelines. I’m tired of waiting.

⤷ Show Your Desk Setup ●

I almost feel gross sharing a Twitter thread right now, but nonetheless, this is a great thread with some interesting setups. Apple’s displays just hit different.
