There are many stories in this list, but the obvious one perhaps is how PowerPoint pops up towards the end. The more you deal with executives and leadership, the more inevitable it is that much of your work will have to at least ALSO be available in PowerPoint.
"Gentlemen,
Regarding the recent rejection slip you sent me. I think there might have been a misunderstanding.
What I really wanted was for you to publish my story, and send me fifty thousand dolllars."
↪ Replying to @JaredFossey
@JaredFossey That is surprisingly helpful and I feel stupid for not thinking of it! 😅
@JaredFossey Right now the middle vertical board is thinner in the back than the front. It really doesn't matter for my purposes but just knowing hurts... my brain is my frenemy.
Interesting study by pCloud, based on the new Apple privacy labels featured in the App Store, which categorises all the information that can be collected on users by apps into 14 categories, and how they're used.
While the worst offenders are no real surprise (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube) I think Uber Eats deserves a mention as most people do not consider how much data is collected and shared by food delivery apps. DuoLingo, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat and Spotify are also up there.
On the other end of the scale, tracking and sharing 0% data, I'd like to give an honorable mention to Google Classroom (a bit of a surprise but thankfully also understandable) and Clubhouse. Clubhouse has received attention, including from me, on how they collect phone numbers - and for vague terms of service when it comes to data storage. As of yet they however do not track you or sell your data like many other apps, which is worth noting. It is however new to the game and what the future brings is anyone's guess.
Among some of the safest apps, from a data tracking and sharing perspective, you'll also find Signal (no surprise), Netflix(!), Microsoft Teams, Skype, Telegram, Zoom and Discord.

Thanks to James for alerting me to it.
↪ Replying to @MrAlanCooper
@MrAlanCooper Gotcha. Thanks Alan. I do wish SketchUp was available on iPad, but I found Umake which is working for me. umake.xyz
↪ Replying to @beantin
@beantin @MrAlanCooper Yeah, I was too lazy to go get the laptop and wanted the laid back iPad in sofa experience. And I did find a pretty good app. Just need to finish all my sketches within the 14 day trial period 😅
↪ Replying to @Tynell
@Tynell I don't think so, but I found something that seems to be working for me: x.com/axbom/status/1…
Let's say I want to sketch some ideas for a custom-built cabinet in 3D. What iPad app might you recommend for that?
ping @MrAlanCooper
I ended up with uMake and after some playing around I think I'm getting the hang of it. Designing some shelves around our bed right now. umake.xyz
Now I'm designing a cabinet for under the stairs. All I can think of is that the space is impossibly small for a child to live... 😬. But 3D sketching is really fun. I should study more tutorials as I keep making mistakes that are hard to fix.
↪ Replying to @yessshir
@yessshir Thank you Shirley. I put a crazy amount of time into it so I'm really happy it comes across in a good way. 😊
↪ Replying to @imdoinfine
@imdoinfine Well done! Wow, I haven't done card sorting in years. I miss those.

@DorotheaBaur Thank you for those kind words Dorothea! 🙏
Made my day. The job market is wild in Remote, Oregon.
"I ignored listings in Remote, Oregon because I do not feel like moving to Oregon. Today, however, I decided to check out more about Remote, and, as is often the case, I’m a total fucking idiot."

↪ Replying to @nickseguin
@nickseguin @thoresson It was more for the setting where I was asked how many minutes after I put down my phone I am awake. The iPad knows how long that can be.
But likely I will try getting into the routine of wearing the watch.
↪ Replying to @nickseguin
@nickseguin @thoresson I was very impressed with what I've seen so far. Language, habits selection, etceteras. The sms option was a very nice touch.
@nickseguin @thoresson Question: if I install it on the iPad too, will that factor in? I watch TV on the iPad to wind down... 🙄
