  • PhD Journal Entry 11: A Return to Writing

    The last time that I wrote a PhD journal entry was back in April 2020. Extending the theme of this blog, which is overthinking, it’s fair to say that the long gap was a result of overdoing things, as I was also maintaining a written autoethnographic journal of my research and sharing updates on my

  • Indie App Inspo from HV 134

    In episode 134 of Hemispheric Views, Andrew and I discussed his appearance on The Omni Show and what it means to love certain apps on your computer. The Mac is home to many beloved third-party apps, whether they be NetNewsWire, MarsEdit, Audio Hijack, Pastebot, Acorn, iA Writer, BBEdit or the recently-acquired Pixelmator Pro. The list is endless. Back in episode 097, when we undertook our ‘Duel of the Defaults’, we

I thought that it would be a fun idea before we recorded the episode, but I had no idea

  • 72. The Lounge Resurrections

    I’m back on the audio lounge after an entire year of absolutely nothing, and of course, there are some excuses! Welcome back to Lounge Ruminator… restored, reloaded, rebooted—however you want to put it! There’ll be more in the future, but without the pressure of a regular schedule. Thanks for following the show! Read a transcript

  • Apple Music-free Mac

    Media ecologist Marshall McLuhan once said, ‘We walk backwards into the future’. He was referring to the human tendency to feel nostalgic in the face of new things—to focus on what has already passed us by. I find myself frequently in conflict about the devices that I use: their usefulness, balancing necessity with desire and
