There are very few things in the computer world that would immediately get me to sit down at my computer, log into my CMS, and post something to this blog. One of these things, however, is a post about the “a” glyph in Apple Notes.

Let me just start by saying that Apple Notes is overall just an amazing tool for a free included app. It works great, it syncs well, and I use it like a virtual filing cabinet. If it’s not in Noteplan, it’s probably in Notes.

Having said that, both the Daring Fireball post on this, and the Engadget post it refers back to, are spot on. It’s an odd decision that Apple seems strangely committed to.

An understatement to say that a lot has happened since my last post. Be kind to yourself and others.

I just returned home from Hawaii, my second work trip of the year already, and I leave on another one on Monday. I don’t seem to managing the jet lag well this time. I was in Hawaii for a whole week, and still haven’t recovered from the red eye I flew home.

A couple of things I have been enjoying.

Last year, I purchased a Canon Ivy 2 printer. It’s a small printer that connects to your phone, and prints on sticker paper. I have been adding a picture to a Hobobichi Hon every day this year so far, and have really been enjoying the process, as well as the results. The prints are a little dark, the quality isn’t perfect, but it’s fun to pick an image every day. Honestly, perfect for travel, but the proprietary paper isn’t cheap.

I thought I had previously read Red Rising but it turns out I hadn’t, and I completely loved this book, the universe building, and the characters. Highly recommend if you are into Science Fiction and/or Roman influenced culture. I’m reading the second book now, and will probably just power through the whole set while I travel. Side note that I love my Kindle Colorsoft.
