First night using Night Shift. Unsure if I’ll use it. I don’t use sunglasses because I hate not seeing color correctly. This feels the same even if it isn’t.

In reply to Manton: If the iPhone SE ends up with a 6 or 6+ quality camera in it I’ll likely be switching to it late summer. But the 10” iPad still feels perfect to me. Side note: I look forward to when Barley 2.0 supports Web Mentions so that Manton would have been notified…

E1: Publishing a test
Something new! 🙂 https://cdevroe.com/media/audio/e1.mp3 Inspired yet again by Manton Reece and his Timetable microcast I’ve decided to start sharing some audio bits here on my site. Today I recorded a few short test bits and ended up listening to this one and thought it a perfect representation of what to expect from me. So, here…

Open source retreats
Krithika Muthukumar on the Stripe blog: This January, we invited three developers to come work on open-source projects full-time at Stripe. We specifically chose projects for this Open-Source Retreat that we felt would have deep impact in a variety of different areas. Stripe has done this for several years. I’m very jealous of it. If…

An algorithmic Instagram
Instagram is jumping on the algorithmic feed bandwagon. But, they say they have a reason: You may be surprised to learn that people miss on average 70 percent of their feeds. As Instagram has grown, it’s become harder to keep up with all the photos and videos people share. This means you often don’t see…

Around the Isle of Corsica
Great video of three women kayakers circumnavigating Corsica: Unknown by most sea kayakers, the French island of Corsica is a stunning gem of caves, sea stacks, beaches and cliffs set in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Evernote’s days are numbered
Remember a few months ago when I wrote, several times, that many Evernote loyalists were leaving it behind for something else? I believe we’re about to see a watershed moment for Evernote. Back then I wrote that Simplenote should have an import tool and they’d be able to clean up. So far we haven’t seen…

As I’ve been moving my photos from Picturelife into Photos for OS X over the passed two weeks I’ve run across some interesting observations so I thought I’d jot them down.  Here are some statistics in no particular order: We take a lot of photos in October, August, and June. This is…
