So You're Tempted by the Mac Studio…
The Mac Studio looks great, and as a computer lover, I want one just because, but I thought this mental exercise was a good way to determine if it's right for you.
Consider an alternate reality where the Mac Studio was released in October 2021, and the new MacBook Pros were just revealed

The Mac is Exciting Again
On Thanksgiving 2018 I bought the 12.9” iPad Pro and sold my MacBook Pro to pay for it. I was all in on the iPad because I loved it and in retrospect, because it was where all the excitement was in new Apple computers.
The iPad Pro was where Apple was flexing its design

Thoughts on the New MacBook Pros
Oh man, do I wish I had $3,000 to throw at a computer right now…
These machines look insanely good and I’m jealous of every Mac user who’s been waiting to get a new Mac until now because you just got yourself a doozy of an update.

iPads, MacBooks, Aspect Ratios, and Window Chrome
With my recent purchase of a MacBook Air, I now have two 13” computers in my life, the MacBook Air and iPad Pro (2018). What I find really interesting is that while my iPad Pro feels almost too expansive sometimes, the MacBook Air feels very cramped by comparison. Why is that? The Air technically has

A Hill to Die On
For 13 years straight, people asked for iOS to add home screen widgets. For 13 years you heard the same refrain from Apple fans: they suck on Android, Apple doesn’t want that crop on their phones.

Andrew Denty has a great collection of comparisons between the current and upcoming versions of macOS.
I have not installed Big Sur yet, mainly because the only Mac in my life is my work Mac, and while it is cleared for betas, I have no interest in risking anything breaking at this early stage in

Twitter for Mac is Not a Good Mac App
https://youtu.be/uATN5jYvyTc
I don't know how to blame here, Twitter or Apple, but the Twitter app for Mac is really rough in its current form. Text editing specifically is really hard to justify and is not what I would expect from any app on the Mac.

Small macOS Feature Request

Apple Computer Sales Since 2015
Apple separates out Mac and iPad sales in their earnings reports, but I think it’s pretty safe to say that the iPad is a computer, so I decided to combine the company’s Mac and iPad unit sales numbers together to see how their actual “computer” sales have done over the past few years.

Summer 2018 Browser Speed Test (Mac and iOS Edition)
The most important feature in a web browser for me is performance. Extensions are nice and UI is relatively important to me as well, but at the end of the day it’s speed that I want more than anything else. I never want to feel like I’m being slowed down by anything besides
