Ever since the news broke that Sparrow was no longer going to be developed, I began a search for my new mail application of choice in earnest. It pained me to leave Sparrow behind because I really enjoyed its minimal approach to email, so the new app of choice will have some big shoes to […]
This week on Mikes on Mics, Schechter and I talk about my posts here regarding a move back to Gmail (here) and OmniFocus (here), other tools I’ve added to my workflow, and we even touch on why we make the choices we make when it comes to the tools we use. (And Schechter enjoyed naming
The very thing that brought me to where I’m at today is dead. Not so much because I’m killing it (which I’d discussed possibly doing in a previous post), but because it has died of what would amount to “natural causes”. Today marks the end of my first ever entry into the productivity realm, the

The latest Mikes on Mics podcast dropped yesterday, and it features another great guest in Jean MacDonald from Smile. Smile makes the popular Mac apps TextExpander (the productivity gateway app for many) and PDFPen, among others. (Jean also makes Schechter and I smile with her amazing personality, so there’s that.) We talk about herding nerds,
I’ve been using Launch Center Pro like a madman since it came out. Unlike Brett Terpstra, I’ve gone a step ufrhter and created a folder that holds all of the apps that are launchable and put it on the last page of my iPhone. And despite David Barnard’s post that may have hinted at the
