Old Tabs: Part 10
My habit of keeping interesting things open in tabs on my mobile is still WAY out of hand. So I'm challenging myself to blog them as I close them down. 10 a day. This is part 10. You can call it part 1 of season 2 if you like.

Turbo Admin: Philosophy and inner-workings
With the release of CommandUI there has suddenly been a lot of people looking deeply at how my own product Turbo Admin works. This post addresses some of the philosophy behind Turbo Admin, and clarifies some things about the tool that aren't necessarily obvious.

The Turbo Admin “Business Model”
I feel I should say some things about the “business model” behind Turbo Admin, my command palette for WordPress. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

On command palettes and competition
If you don’t know, three years ago I made and launched a WordPress “command palette” tool called Turbo Admin. Now, there’s a new WordPress command palette on the block (no pun intended)! And actually, it looks really awesome and Calvin did a great job. I give you CommandUI! You should check it out. I love […]

Book: Extra Focus – Jesse J Anderson
So… I’m not diagnosed with any form of ADHD or ASD, but I do often feel like I’m not neurotypical. If I am then I’m very high-functioning, with enough coping strategies that you probably wouldn’t notice. But I have a pile of books about topics like this ready to go. Jesse J Anderson is what […]

Book: Recursion – Blake Crouch
[Contains mild spoilers] I’m not sure how I came across Blake Crouch. Probably recommended by the Kobo algorithm. Or his book was in a sale and sounded cool.

Book: The Way of Kings – Brandon Sanderson
I actually finished this a good while ago. I’d heard a lot about Brandon Sanderson, and – as is my probably-not-very-ethical-really way – I saw The Book of Kings on offer on Kobo and bought it to see if I could get into it. And WHAT a book. I mean, it’s epic. Literally. It’s huge. […]

Book: Down and out in the Magic Kingdom – Cory Doctorow
Well this was a wild ride. I’ve not read anything like this before. I got a collection of eBooks of Cory Doctorow‘s novels on Humble Bundle. I was curious about his fiction work. I think this book fits into the category of post-scarcity sci-fi. It’s Doctorow’s first novel and is actually released under a creative […]

Book: Living Better – Alastair Campbell
If you just read my review of Seth Godin’s “Tribes” and now read this you’ll probably think I’m in a right grumpy mood. But I’m not. But the truth is, I was disappointed by this book too. Mostly, I wasn’t expecting it to be so biographical. Campbell is very open about mental health and a […]
