Alarms are such a horrible way to wake up.

dougmcarthur,

@louie my 12 year old has gotten into the habit of turning on the lights at 6am and shoving me until I wake up. An alarm would be lovely in comparison. 😏

I had a nice little chuckle to myself today, opening the Mac App Store to see that the number 1 spot for "Best New Apps and Updates" is a journaling app. If the rumour mill is to be believed, we're just a few months away from Apple potentially sherlocking that entire category. Sure, there's always room for "deluxe" apps in any category, but I do wonder how the devs feel, getting one last boost before the platform itself might crush them. @gruber do you think this was intentional or algorithmic?

dougmcarthur,

@gruber armchair analysis: this is either an effort to bolster interest in journaling apps overall, an altruistic boost in advance of releasing the native journaling app, or a complete coincidence. I'm having a hard time applying Occam's Razor here. 😏

dougmcarthur,

@gruber you know, maybe it seems like part of your routine and not that big a deal, but to me, the fact that you engage with and reply to folks on social is really something. I'm always surprised and delighted to hear back from you, even (and maybe especially) when we're not aligned on a topic. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is grateful for it, just realized it was worthwhile actually telling you. Have a good one!

dougmcarthur,

@gruber makes me wonder how it was done before. the modern internet is a marvel, eh? We’ve come a long way from local BBS and Usenet groups.
