This morning YouTube suggested Austin Ha’s review of the new ultrawide display option in Apple Vision Pro. His video shows a dream of mine; to have any sized screen with me anywhere I want. I really hope the AVP continues to improve.

Introducing the YouTube Channel RSS feed Bookmarklet
In 2020 Thomas Brand wrote a blog post about finding a YouTube’s channel RSS feed by appending the channel’s “Channel ID” onto a feed URL. Thomas Brand: In 2020 I am watching less stupid on YouTube by skipping the algorithm. Instead of letting the YouTube decide which videos it wants to show me, I am…

The video essay boom

iOS creates a competition hostile environment
Below is a screenshot of the sheet you see on YouTube for iOS when tapping on a link in a video’s description.

Om Malik, on his photo journey
Om: I find using a 24mm wide angle lens, a 90 mm medium telephoto, or a 280 mm tele lens akin to using saffron in my rice or black salt in my lentils – flavors that are beautiful in their restraint. I like reading his perspective on this. Less is definitely more. And constraints breed…

Xamarin videos, now on YouTube
Me, 17-minutes into an audio bit in 2017 (paraphrasing): If you go onto YouTube search for a problem you’re having for Xcode and Swift you’ll find 15 well-produced videos to solve your problem.

Best of 2018
This year I’m taking a slightly more comprehensive approach to my “best of” list. I’ve taken a look at previous year’s lists: 2008, 2009, 2017 and comprised a slightly more complete set. Again, this is only the things I came across this year and can remember. I don’t keep a list throughout the year but…
