Some thoughts about my side projects and (if you'll forgive me) how much joy they currently spark.

It’s been a hell of a few weeks over here at Birchler HQ. It’s easy to forget that good health goes such a long way to making every other part of your life better.

Does the Vision Pro look like it's going to replace the Mac or the iPad? How about our phones? Maybe…possibly…in many years, but it's more likely to be yet another computer in our lives. It *can* happen, it's just rare.

How does one afford a Vision Pro? Sacrifices had to be made.

The Vision Pro isn't a developer kit, but it's definitely got some UI oddities that will get sorted out before it's really ready for the mainstream.

I have real concerns about features like Arc Search blowing up the revenue model that has powered the open web for decades. Maybe there's hope in looking back 25 years at another software innovation that blew everything up, but spurred more new revenue models.

I got a new headset, but it's not the one everyone is talking about.

Today's member post looks at a part of computer tech that I can still make my own, a writer who always keeps me guessing, a weather app that’s not CARROT, and more!

This inaugural More Birchtree post delves into what we want to get out of video game representation, a shout out to my favorite current writer, one of my all-time favorite apps, and a few cool goodies like the Wii Shop music on Amazon.
