Writing about things that matter (to me)
Apple released a new sleep scoring system alongside watchOS 26 last month, and I’ve been giving it a try. I’m not the best sleeper, but this new feature has actually helped me improve my relationship with my sleep in unexpected ways. I wrote all about it in the latest Club MacStories Monthly Log, and I’d love it if you checked it out.
I’ve recently fallen in love with the iPhone Air. The phone is just amazing, and it’s solidified something that’s been taking place for a long time: my slow drift from the top tier of Apple’s product offerings to the middle. Due to a combination of factors, I’m no longer someone who automatically goes for the highest-end version of any particular device, whether it be a phone, a laptop, or even my beloved iPad.
I dive deeper into this realization in the latest edition of the Club MacStories Monthly Log, so check out the story if you’re interested. It’s hard to imagine I’m the only one experiencing this, so I’d love to hear from anyone else seeing the same thing in their own setups.
Once again, I had the privilege of reviewing this year’s major visionOS update on MacStories. It’s a great release with a bunch of new features worth diving into:
Testing and reviewing visionOS this summer has been a pleasure, and I’m so grateful I get to cover this platform for my favorite website. You can read my full review on MacStories now.
Also, be sure to check out the other OS 26 reviews from the rest of the team, all of which I got to edit:
It’s new OS week, and this is how we celebrate! Let’s have some fun.
It’s only a matter of hours until September begins, and like every year, I am very excited for what’s in store. To me, it’s less about the flashy announcements of new hardware and more about the conversations surrounding it all. I love being a part of the community of nerds that gets all riled up every September, sharing hopes, hot takes, and impressions. It’s just so much fun.
In anticipation of a very fun few weeks ahead, I wrote about why this time of year is so special to me in the most recent edition of the Club MacStories Monthly Log. I’d love it if you checked it out.
I had a fun chat with my friend Tim Chaten on the latest episode of the Vision Pros podcast. We talked about our experiences with the visionOS 26 beta so far, how I’m preparing for my review this fall, Apple’s new device warranty program (a great deal for Vision Pro owners), and the new Alien: Earth environment in Disney+. Our Alien discussion also prompted a hilarious segment on this week’s Magic Rays of Light. 😅
My thanks to Tim for having me back on the show.
