1. The App Cleanse →

    I ended up doing this when I got my iPhone 6 because it was acting possessed. On all of my prior iPhones, I had restored from my previous phone’s backup. Ultimately, starting fresh fixed all sorts of weird little things as well as larger issues like TouchID: it had never worked for me on my iPhone 5S or my iPhone 6 until I did the fresh install on the iPhone 6. It’s more work to do the initial set-up, but I’ll be installing from scratch from now on.

    Subject: New trial in 2 weeks?

    Hi Everyone, As expected, when I had my latest CT scan about 6 weeks ago it showed that the clinical trial I had been on since the beginning of the year was no longer being effective for me. We were expecting this based on some other symptoms, and my doctor and I had already targeted…

  3. The Monktoberfest →

    I’m super bummed to be missing Monktoberfest this year, but that just means one of you lucky folks can use my ticket. Tickets are on sale now!

  4. Lessons learned moving away from home →

    As Devin notes, these may not all be earthshaking revelations. However, the stories that lead him to each conclusion are unique to his experience and that’s the beauty of the personal narrative; an area where the blog format continues to excel.

  5. More micro-blogging workflows →

Each of my posts has a link to its counterpart on Twitter and Facebook, and reactions on those networks are brought back in as comments on this site. Special handling is done to thread comments based on Twitter’s reply_to property, as well as a retweets, etc. More details about how this works can be found in the blog post I wrote back in January on the Crowd Favorite blog.

    When I’m mobile, I’ve found that using the WordPress admin web interface is better for my needs than the iOS app. Mainly because of additional post meta that I utilize on this site.

  6. Egregious mobile ads have finally driven me to use the “Reader View Available” feature in Safari. Good job, ad geniuses.

  7. App Camp for Girls →

    I put in my contribution. My daughter is still a bit young to be a camper, but like any parent I want her to have every opportunity as she grows up. She’s already pretty solid with Lightbot (also recommended for kids of any gender).

  8. I haven’t run beta OS software in years, but I’m sorely tempted by the new iPad goodies in iOS 9.

  9. Live with Phil →

    I really like Marco’s summary of the event and I really enjoyed listening to the podcast. I liked it enough to go back and watch some of it again once the video was posted. Mr. Schiller was incredibly human and likeable throughout and he didn’t shy away from some tough questions.
