Finding a replacement for iA Writer. Image from iA Writer press kit. Microsoft Word was deleted from my computer many years ago, it possessed far more features than my needs required, and it’s ridiculously heavy handed interface was painful to use. Since then I’ve experimented with a number of different solutions, from the robust Nisus Writer. To the simplistic Textedit. I also created prototype for a universal text box from which all data could be sent, much like Drafts 4. Bug: an annoying new behaviour...

Apple music curation can’t compare to Spotify. A simple search for running playlists results what on the surface looks like a good selection but doesn’t come close to matching Spotify’s offering. A simple search for running playlists results in a large variety. A seemingly endless scroll of options. Of note is that Spotify offers playlists to match your pace and you can find selections created for an event itself. I found some great music created for the Toronto Marathon. June 6, 2016.

I’ve ever worked with were in music, where everyone intuitively worked together, communication was nothing more than a glance or a deep breathe. I often think of these questions lately. Below is section from Stewart Butterfields recent interview in The New York Times, Is Empathy on Your Résumé? You’ve had a couple of big successes, starting Flickr and now Slack. What are your thoughts about culture? So how do you try to maintain that feel as your company grows? People can go to work every day for a year ...

I’m exhausted today after a sleepless night and so decided to spend the afternoon setting up my mothers new MacBook with the goodies that she will need to keep in touch while we are overseas. I’m sitting here in the Confederation Mall food court looking a bit like a poser with two Apple laptops in front of me. I’m sitting through the colour calibration settings now but it’s scared me...Thanks to...

Posts in Category ‘ Usability. Oops iTunes UI team. There is a questionable label in your dialog. Which action are we taking here? Are we removing the song or are we deleting the song? The song all together, which may cause some confusion amongst users, especially since many no longer read the instructions above the button area at all. Perhaps with the major redesign coming to iTunes in the fall, Apple will fix this inconsistency. Further, why is songs plural when I only selected a single song? 8220;Usab...
