One thing that I’ve discovered about starting these monthly summaries is that they really highlight how fast months pass by. It feels like yesterday that I wrote the February summary. That said, the Mediumrare rebrand is going well, and last night, I got my first glimpse at some … | Continue reading
Make no mistake: the standard web experience is getting worse and worse by the day. Thankfully, browser extensions allow us to make things a little bit more bearable, and I just wanted to share a few that I find useful on a day-to-day basis. uBlock Origin While there are many adb … | Continue reading
Well fuck. I just spent the last hour writing up an article on my quest for the perfect lounge chair, and somehow, the entire thing just got wiped out. All I remember is hitting ⌘+t to open a new tab, searching for a reference article using ⌘+o, pulling it up, going back to the o … | Continue reading
One of my favorite features on iOS is how the stock keyboard can automatically display a 2FA code when logging into an app. It detects the SMS in the messages app, and then displays it above your keyboard for you to simply tap on it once to automatically enter into the active fie … | Continue reading
It’s been a pretty big month for me personally and professionally. I left my partnership at Toy Rockets to boot up my old studio (Mediumrare), and I’ve been having mixed feelings since. On one hand, I’m glad to get the opportunity to refresh to start something new, but at the sam … | Continue reading
If you want the answer, click here to jump to the solution. I switched to Arc Browser last year and hate returning to Chrome now. The hidden sidebar is amazing when I take screenshots for these articles, the auto archiving tabs keeps my mess in check, and the floating video featu … | Continue reading
Way back in 2009, I was starting to pick up more freelance design work, and needed to get an online portfolio up and running. I distinctly remember struggling to come up with a short enough domain name that people would remember, without the complications of my Greek last name—Ma … | Continue reading
Like most email inboxes, mine is a bit of a mess. It contains client communications, personal communications, and too many newsletters to count. I’ve decided to clean up that inbox to keep it (mostly) for communications for a few reasons: By moving newsletters out of my communica … | Continue reading
As I’m focusing more on writing this year, I’ve been forced to think about what I should be writing about, and how I should do it.I think the writing on my site will be broken down into three primary categories: Tech, personal stories, and thoughts. Technology I’ve always liked w … | Continue reading
While I love using RSS to stay on top of my favorite blogs, the standard process of adding them to my RSS Service (Feedly) is kind of annoying. It looks like this: I use this bookmarklet from indieweb that will open a random article on a blog in their system, which is often a fun … | Continue reading
I recently ran across a blog post from Jose Munoz talking about what apps he uses instead of the stock apps provided by Apple. Turns out this is a bit of a trend in the blogging space, and if you’re interested what other people are using, check out this huge list. Here’s my list: | Continue reading
I’ve been using Notion for years at this point, and the content inside has ended up resembling a living cesspool. I’m tracking client projects, personal projects, reading lists, wishlists, and god knows what else in here. Whenever I sit down to reorganize the content, I realize h … | Continue reading
If you’re a Webflow professional, I can already feel your blood pressure rising. For context, I’m a Webflow expert, I sell webflow templates, and I use the platform every day for personal and client projects. My main side project/blog is built off Webflow and has generated enough … | Continue reading
When Google Photos was released in 2015, it was a compelling option for iOS because of its unlimited free storage and ease of use (the only downside being it automatically compressed your images). Fast forward to today, and I’m at the point where I’m trying to use less Google pro … | Continue reading
Dieter Rams is one of my favorite product designers, and I recently stumbled across his definition of what a “good designer” is in a book called “As little design as possible“. It’s a great read, but sadly its out of print, and a used copy on Ebay is going to put you back $350. T … | Continue reading
