macOS Big Sur & the transition to Apple Silicon has made me the more excited for the Mac roadmap than I have been in over a decade. Is the Mac, and Mac development, is on the cusp of being dramatically reinvigorated?

Yesterday I said goodbye to the 5K iMac that had faithfully been my main computer these past five years.

Around 500 years ago, just as the year 2020 was beginning, I was well on my way to transitioning to an iPad-only computing experience. Then COVID happened, and since then, I haven’t been happier to have access to a MacBook.

On June 30, 2020, & just after its eighth anniversary, the MacBook Pro with Retina display will officially be marked “obsolete,” ending all hardware services & repairs from Apple.

Tot is the ultimate digital scratchpad for your text-based workflow, a solid companion app that has your back for storing text snippets and links while you move between apps and do whatever it is you do.

Unless you fit that small overlap of people whose budget, desire for a Touch Bar, & needing slightly improved performance over a sustained period, you stand to save up to $500 by moving into the MacBook Air line while gaining in graphics, memory, battery life, and portability.

I wanted to compile a few of my thoughts on the podcast player Cosmicast I’ve seen making the rounds. I’ve broken down my impressions of the app into three categories: what I love, what I dislike, and features I’d wish for in future updates of the app.
