There are points in this sequence where you go, “OK, nice!”, then “Oh my gawsh!,” then “There’s no way!”, then “Nope, this is fake.”, then “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.” No matter what your thoughts though, I guarantee the last thing you’ll think is “Ah, bad shot.”

Sports Alerts is the best new sports app of the year. Not even sure if it’s new. New to me. Live Activities and game-by-game alerts. So simple and so good. Free, though you do have to deal with a couple minor ads. (H/T Matt Birchler.)

I love the pace that Keychron releases new keyboards. But how hard is it to stay on top of their naming conventions? I just got used to the K-series, then the Q-series debuted. Then we got the K-Pro, then the V1-series. And now the S-series? I’m dizzy.

I thought it was easy to burn money on stylish Herman Miller furniture. And to think you might need to buy multiple items for multiple children. (Or you don’t. But it’s fun to dream.)

While in the middle of writing this afternoon, the little lights flashed off for good on my favourite Microsoft Surface Ergonomic keyboard. I’m bummed. It was a refurbished unit and had a few different problems, so I’m not surprised it has died. I’ve used the keyboard for four-plus years now — not a very long life. I enjoyed my time with it, to be sure.

Here’s a good tongue-in-cheek comment from a good friend. But seriously — perhaps it’s wiser to just post this sort of a stuff on a blog from now on. Another local Manitoban has been doing the same and I think it’s wonderful.

The way this lady zips around her iPad is almost inspiring. Look how quick she goes! She also miraculously makes Stage Manager look like a feasible option for iPad multi-tasking.

I’ll probably write more about this at some point, but my thought coming away from Chris's (and Matt’s) article here is “Mac does Mac things. iPad does iPad things. iPhone does iPhone things. Stop forcing them to overlap.”

Any time someone points at any of the most revered Apple tech writers and says they drink the Kool-aid, make sure to point them at this article. Stage Manager is half-baked at best and a disaster at worst, and Mr. Viticci says as much. “My recommendation is to not use it for production work or other critical tasks on your iPad.” Strong words.
