iPad Mouse Trapped

After enjoying the iPad in desktop-mode, I tried to push it even further with Stage Manager on my external display. That was quite nice. But the road of mouse control was a dead end for two reasons: scrolling was painful and cursor control felt janky. Before I explain why, let me recap a bit.

WWDC24 Wishlist

It’s fun to think of potentially cool new features from Apple that we might enjoy on forthcoming devices later this year. There are things I hope to see. But there’s something I hope to NOT see.

Daring To Take A New Job

Time flies. I’ve been less active online lately because my brain has been very preoccupied offline. A break from social media is usually a good thing, but I don’t like to skip out of blogging. I haven’t even played video games in over a week. My focus has been on work at my day job.

Reminders In Calendar Like Peanut-Butter In Chocolate
