Blog drafts I've started and deleted about the iPad event:

1. Why Apple Events are boring now.
2. There's nothing persuasive in that video if you weren't already using an iPad.
3. Apple talking about people using Final Cut Pro on the iPad is as impressive as someone doing a physical challenge on a dare.
4. Excluding the Mac version of Final Cut from multicam support is ridiculous.
5. Final Cut Camera is an AWFUL name.
6. The BTS video about the event will be better than the event.

A Press with Paper Sails Traverses the Sea of Ink: the printing press is an ornery beast and a sailing ship. My metaphor doesn’t work, but read on: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86034928

Close up of a printing proof showing buttons and labels on and near the buttons that should be all white but show some registration drift that has left the buttons muddy.

In the last few days I’ve been yelled at here for:

• refusing to edit a year-old blog post to suit a random stranger’s preferences
• not liking the way the UI mangles photos, and suggesting ways that could be improved
• not liking the way people here yell at me when I complain about the photo UI
• referring to former US President Taft as “large”.

This isn’t as much fun as it sounds.

is frozen any good?

I crave this vegetable all the damn time and I just can't run off into the woods and munch away whenever I want. How do you survive?
