For almost a month I’ve been playing around with the early access release of Cron — touted as the next generation of calendar apps for professionals and teams. The experience is overall improved from Google but I’m not yet convinced that this will completely “change the game”. I have been using it as an individual so next steps is to see how it plays with my work calendar.
Notes
-
-
Got access to the TestFlight alpha of Ivory by Tapbots — a few hours usage and its the subtle details which are making my Mastodon experience so much better: A clearer user experience, tighter leading on the typography (I wonder if this could be a setting to change for folks) and pleasant transitions between states.
-
Very excited to dive in to the Paul Nicklen Masters of Photography course — one of my all-time favourite nature photographers.
-
Just listened to episode 200 of the Adam Buxton podcast and my word, that impromptu David Bowie rap towards the end by a very special guest — hilarious!
-
What better way to break in my new Rega Planar 3 than with Kelly Lee Owens self-titled LP.

-
2021 marks 25 years since the first Mission Impossible film and coincidentally when Tom Cruise’s “Dorian Gray painting” was finally completed. 🍿
-
Farewell Adobe Flash (although it will always be Macromedia Flash to me). For a lot of digital designers out there it taught us so much about the importance of animation, movement and the sheer amount of diverse interaction you could create. Such an important piece of kit.
-
Excited to finally be able to talk about this: Introducing Twilio Frontline now in private beta.
-
UK reality TV: Too much squashing, not enough quashing.
-
So much to think about and unpack after watching Extinction: The Facts.
