    Excellent podcast! Techie, of course, but also open to how tech impacts others who might not be so interested — friends, families, and people just using devices to get their work done. Stephen was nice enough to send me a Pin, and we took it to the final stage of the Tour de France in Paris 2026, right at the finish line!

  • A Relatively Calm Listen

    This is generally a nice listen each week to get up to date on tech news and a little bit of geekery. As for Spaces, I’m in the camp of assigning apps to particular spaces and hopping between them whether I’m on a work machine or personal machine. Helps me stay focused and have space to work with. Also means I always have 4-6 on my machines.
