I rearranged the homescreen this morning.
1 year ago today I hopped on a plane to move to San Diego. After having had enough with Chicago winters I started looking for work in sunny California. What was incredible is that only 3 weeks passed between putting my resume online and my first day at Intellisis. I left my wife and girls behind to pack up the apartment and move across the country. My saint of a wife somehow kept it together watching all 3 girls, working, packing up our lives, and finally driving across the country. ...
Gmail to iCloud to Gmail again… I posted several years ago now. I’ve been using gmail ever since despite a brief transition to fastmail. It’s far from perfect but I’m still pretty happy with it. The inbox app by Google is especially great when I’m traveling. I’ve used Gmail or several years and have really enjoyed the experience. It’s not without its quirks however. Anyone who has ever used Gmail with an IMAP client can attest to how wonky things can get. The way Gmail’s All Mail folder functions causes lots of duplicate messages to show up. If a message has a label it will appear in both a folder for that label as well as in the All Mail folder. If you search for a message in the client multiple copies will pop up. The Gmail experience on the iPhone is also annoying. You can setup up Gmail through IMAP just like a desktop client, with all of the duplicate messages, but you can’t get push. That means I have to set my phone to poll the network at a certain interval. This is bad for battery life at high settings and means that messages don’t show up right away. The other option is to set up Gmail though Google sync as an exchange server. You can get push with this option but deleting a message will always archive it. I don’t want to archive all the junk newsletter messages I get. To delete a message with this setup I have to select it and then manually move it to Gmail’s trash folder. ...
On the plus side my daughter’s school got a responsive web design….but they forgot a few things.
For decades, Americans have been losing their ability, even their right, to walk. There are places in the United States – New York City, for example – where people walk as a matter of habit and lifestyle, commuting in ways familiar to residents of London or Paris. But there are vast blankets and folds of the country where the ability to walk – to open a door and step outside and go somewhere or nowhere without getting behind the wheel of a car – is a struggle, a fight. A risk. We are sacrificing the right to walk – Antonia Malchick – Aeon (via merlin) ...
