Riding the Press Release Tidal Wave What a week it has been! I’ll be honest, the week-long rollout of press releases from Apple has left my head spinning a bit. When Apple holds a keynote, it’s very natural that I weigh products by their importance and focus on the ones that have the most

I like P1 with Matt and Tommy

Once you add F1 to your 'playlist' you can rewatch it. It's essentially like recording

It’s All Kicking Off It feels like this week the Apple year has started to kick off. Next week we have the “Apple Experience” event, which will presumably be a week of press releases announcing new products. The expectation is that most of the announcements will be spec bumps to existing products, but the

A few thoughts from this week:

🍎 The Apple year starting up
📈 The Six Colors Report Card
🎙️A podcast interview about product design
🤩 Reflecting on a great article about my work

I'm curious: Who would *you* like to see as a future guest on the State of the Workflow series?

I dont think it's a cost thing for them so much as contracts that already exist.

F1’s deal with European broadcasters is worth *a lot* of money. I am sure they wanted Apple to do everything they could to make sure this was not jeopardised

I don’t think they got to set the rules on this particular deal

That’s what rights deals will do

One Year with Sophia Tomorrow Sophia turns one. This is obviously a time of reflection for Adina and me, especially today, as we think back to what we were doing before an unexpected early arrival. When I see pictures of...

Tomorrow my daughter turns one.

I wanted to reflect a little on some things I have learned about myself in the last year.

Over the past year, @vegh.ca and I have been working on something very exciting!

We thought we'd give you a little teaser now and you can sign up to hear more very soon.

A Very Short List I love being self-employed. There are many challenges that come with charting your own course, but the flexibility this life affords is very important to me. Nevertheless, I assume that most people who are self-employed have a shortlist of companies they imagine they would at least enjoy working for, and

I have a very small list of companies that I think I could enjoy working with. That list just grew by one.

incredible! congratulations Joanna!

Thirty Eight Today is my birthday. I didn’t know exactly where I wanted to be by this age, but I think I would be hard-pressed to ask for anything more. Last night, as I was washing the dishes, I found myself reflecting on where things are for me right now, and

New Behaviours in Practice One of the things I’ve already been observing from my Yearly Theme (The Year of New) is the idea of “New Behaviours.” I’m trying to adapt my reactions to things so I can better give my family what they need. This week has already been a test of

Loved hearing Alec describe his process for making well researched explainer videos. Aspiring content creators take note.

Also didn't know Myke was on bsky now.

Re-Learning Work–Life Balance I have always considered work–life balance to be about making sure I had enough time to relax so I could handle the work I needed to do. Over the last five years or so, I’ve taken steps to ensure I’m working the amount I want to and

Myke's 2026 Yearly Theme Every year — for nearly ten years — we have set a Yearly Theme. This is a word or phrase that guides the year and informs the choices we make. We use this phrase to help evaluate decisions and to give anchor points to base work — and sometimes our personal lives — around. In a usual year, we would reflect on our previous Yearly Theme and set our new one. However, this is not a normal year. With Grey on break from Cortex at the moment, Myke decided not to record the episode without him. Instead, he wanted to make this video to share his thoughts. It's important to him to have his Theme on record, so thought to try sharing it in a new way.
