3 Things I’m Grateful for (August 13, 2021)

Posted Updated

3 things I’m grateful for, this second week of August, 2021:

CleanShot X: This handy little app is a fantastic way to take screenshots, mark them up and then easily share them. But the killer feature for me is the ability to make gifs out of screencasts. It’s $29 (once) OR it comes with Setapp.

Nice Pens: I will generally celebrate a big launch with a new pen (or some other related hobby thing). Since mid-July I’ve launched 3 courses, so I picked up a new Leonardo Momento Zero Magico. I’m excited for this to arrive because I LOVE my first Leonardo pen.

Being Candid: It’s very rare that my candor has failed me. I generally try to be straight with people and they tend to appreciate that. It served me well a couple of times this week and I’m grateful for my parents and other influences in my life who taught me that being candid wasn’t a bad thing!

That’s it for this week! What are you grateful for? Let me know in the comments!

    3 things I’m grateful for, this third week of August, 2021: Flexibility in my schedule: We’re without child care for the last few weeks of summer, and while this means for most we’d either have to start daycare early, burden other family members, or hire someone pretty sort-term, because my wife and I have fairly…

  • Running with the Apple Watch Ultra

    I started running again. Well, more accurately, I ran this morning. I’m trying to reform the habit. This was the first time I ran outside since I ran a 10K in November 2016, IIRC. I decided to start again because I need to do something, and running requires the least amount of setup. Something that…

  • Using Spotify Again

    About once per month I wonder how Apple Music can be so bad and core features, like playing music and adding songs to a playlist. I’ve resisted switching because thanks to me being deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem, I wouldn’t actually fully switch away from Apple Music. I’d be paying for 2 music streaming…
