⤷ Paul Thurrott’s Review of the 15-inch MacBook Air ●

Still getting caught up on post-tax-season reading here. Review elements touched on by someone approaching any new tool with brand new eyes is one of my favourite genres. Things we take for granted are immediately highlighted, and oftentimes shoot a product to the top of someone’s recommendation list. Little things, like Apple’s haptic trackpad, are true highlights for Thurrott. This is one of my favourite reviews in years.

⤷ The Marcus Lloyd Preset ●

My favourite photographer finally released his own preset. Yes, preset. It’s one preset. And it’s actually pretty simple. I’ve long emulated Lloyd’s look and I appreciate he has let his fans in on some behind-the-scenes technique with this preset.

⤷ The Birchtree Review of the Apple Vision Pro ●

It’s been awhile since a Fresh Link hit these parts, but I can’t think of a better link than this review from Matt. One of the better Vision Pro critiques out there.

⤷ The New Microsoft Planner ●

I’m really excited to see this new Planner in action. Planner and Loop may well give Notion, Slack, et.al. a run for their money.

⤷ Study Groups ●

I think I get what Godin is saying and I would also recommend it. But I’ll tell you, study groups are not required for academic success. Take my word for it. In fact, I’d argue for every person a study group brings up to the median, there’s likely also a person being brought down to the median.

⤷ Maker Stations ●

I can’t believe I only just discovered this amazing desk tour website this past week. For those looking for a replacement for subreddits like r/macsetups and r/battlestations, perhaps Maker Stations is for you.

⤷ The Greatest Pitch in Baseball History ●

Faced with the daunting task of uniting a country vulnerably attacked by a foreign enemy, President Bush delivered the greatest pitching baseball history. No, he didn’t run to the closer mound. Yes, he was put on the spot by Derek Jeter himself. And he delivered a pitch for the absolute ages.

⤷ Awesome Drone Footage of Yankee Stadium ●

These drone videos — especially of cool ballparks — never get old. I think the one done by the Red Sox at Fenway Park was better, but this is still pretty cool. I do sense some cheating though — how did Bernie Williams get from the concourse to the Monument Park in just a minute or two? (Via Daring Fireball).

⤷ 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.
