I switched to an iPhone

Last year, sometime around summer, I managed to break my Samsung Galaxy S10+ while on paramedic duty. I bent down on the driver's seat because I'd dropped something, forgetting that I had my phone in my chest pocket. Well, besides my phone, I've also kept a pair of scissors inside...

Them's the breaks

Was watching a great 2010 interview with

Steve Jobs

. One interviewer asked why

Apple

wasn't supporting

Adobe

Flash

, which at the time was The way to make interactive UIs... remember back then the interactive web was still nascent. As in many developers would make an Adobe Flash application and their websites would simply load that into the page.

Apple bucked the trend by not supporting that in their default browsers that came with the

iPhone

and

iPad

The interviewer hilariously talks about this great app that was 'so good'. I don't even know if it exists anymore. But he was using it as an example for the consequences for not supporting software such as Flash.

Jobs remarks about how there's plenty of software in the bygone days that were huge and that constantly new

software

will win out. Also he accurately and astutely stated that they are open to supporting respectable standards such as

HTML

5 in this case.

I stuffed up

I like these phrases haha.

BTW, what about this situation made you need to be huddled over

iPad

trying to get work done? Did you have to let her use your laptop or something?

Unremarkable

It seems such notetaking apps are trying to fully replace paper and pen while

iPad

+

Apple Pencil

is more suited for an actual digital screen form factor.

I love the latter. I can sketch things like UI or other things I want digitized onto the iPad, but I would never sketch notes on it. And because I'm so happy with analogue paper and pen I don't intend to replace my notetaking medium with something digital.

The reason is because I don't really intend to digitize my notes. I

notebook

for the benefits I receive while inputting. I'm not looking to reap a reward by reference. If I am taking such notes then I think I'd either use a keyboard.
