I remember the first time I touched a computer. I was in my early twenties and worked as a customer service rep for the local water company, which is a fancy way of saying I played in the mud on an almost daily basis.

Here’s another one of those childhood memories that left a scar; literally. This one is about the time I tried to stop my out of control bicycle using a barbed wire fence.
It was probably as painful as it sounds. Honestly, I can’t remember if it was.

My initial thoughts on the MacBook Air M3 15" fully spec’d model… The size, weight and form factor are perfect for me. I love my 13" M1, but I like the 15" M3 more. Typing feels less cramped for my big hands. Though the M3 is a mere 1/10th of a pound lighter, there seems to be even more of a weight difference between the two. …Wednesday, March 6, 2024
Events happen in our lives that make us do a full stop and give a long, hard look at how things are. This was one of those events that slapped me in the face so hard I’m still having a hard time grasping it.

I planned on publishing a post like this myself, but @canion beat me to the punch, getting his out first… I’m going to use the same criteria he uses for making the cut: For my purposes, to be considered an App of the Year, the software needs to be something I used extensively, value and enjoy. I also must feel I would miss them if they suddenly …Friday, December 22, 2023
I’ve relaunched jimmitchell.org on the WordPress platform to have a space for my WP Tinylytics plugin. I’ll be using the site to “eat my own dog food” as they say while I develop the plugin for public use. The goal is to eventually make it available in the WordPress plugin repository.

I wasn’t going to do a post like this… But what the heck, all the popular kids are doing it this week, so why shouldn’t I, right?
I’m not really much of a defaults guy. I’ve always preferred to support indie developers, so will usually go that route if their app is as good or better than the Apple default.

After nearly fifty years, I can still remember the first time I smoked a cigarette. It was early spring and my family lived on a farm in a semi-rural part of Colorado, a little north of Denver, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. I lived there with my mother, wicked step-father (I’m not even sure they were married, to be honest) and little …
