Natasha and I had a fantastic morning at Gelato Messina HQ in Rosebery, Sydney, which included a behind-the-scenes tour ...

Whilst I don’t have video, here is photographic evidence for @macgenie that I did indeed participate in The Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, along with Reiseführer Gunther. 😄

I’ve never had a nickname but today, after talking about typefaces at length, a colleague called me ‘Fontzy’. I can run with that.

I’ve never drunk coffee purely for the rush, however the act of simply delaying the hot beverage to later in the morning does a lot to lift my energy and spirits. My poor colleagues…

Natasha brought some ruby chocolate home for me to try for the first time. That stuff is delicious; it’s almost like chocolate mixed with fruit, without being sickly.

These two cuties never cease to entertain me.

People mock HomePod for apparently being an overpriced non-bestseller but it’s honestly one of the best things that I’ve ever bought. Using two as a stereo pair with Apple TV makes the experience even better.

Now that was an impressive keynote. With all of the changes, particularly the shift to a more powerful iPadOS, new SwiftUI and Project Catalyst, I’m looking forward to a lot more positivity in reporting on Apple. They’ve never been bigger and there are many people to please.

With this, Siri has proven its usefulness and understanding of my needs.

watchOS Independence on Lounge Ruminator

Jun 2019

Reports of iTunes’s potential shutdown or break-up into separate apps has finally hit the mainstream press and it’s hilarious to watch. I jumped in my car and heard Triple J radio reading emotional (and somewhat negative) user experiences of iTunes to slow piano music.
