  • Apple Macintosh 128K - Papercraft Design

    I love this idea. Build your own Apple Macintosh 128K from Rocky Bergen’s papercraft model.

  • GCBHR website launch

    The Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights launched their new website today. The center was founded a little over a year ago as the first business and human rights center at a business school in Europe.

  • Fresh lime soda

    Around 24 years ago today, we were enjoying a fresh lime soda at the Venite Bar in Panaji, Goa.

  • lionelegger.photos

    While this strange year is coming to a close and New Year reflections and resolutions are popping up here and there, I would like to take the time to thank a client who has become a friend, and with whom I share many of my interests, passions and obsessions: Lionel Egger.

  • 2021 optimism

    Great illustration found on Instagram this morning.

  • Flashback

    I’ll be honest, I was never a supporter of Flash taking over entire web pages, or sites. I felt it as a coup against the open HTML/CSS web. Having learned most of what I know by looking at other people’s source code, I considered Flash as yet another black box.

  • My favourite podcast of 2020 : 20 Macs for 2020

    Over the course of this Summer, Jason Snell at Six Colors announced his project to “[…] construct a list of the 20 most notable Macs in history.”

  • iPhone 12 mini is too mini for me

    I was thrilled to hear that Apple was going to ship a smaller form factor this year, as my favourite design of all times was the iPhone 4 (and 5 after that).

  • A certain kind of person

    Apple presented a great movie clip on the greatness of the people behind the Mac.

  • Apple One is not (necessarily) worth it out of the US/UK/AUS/CA

    Apple launched its Apple One service bundle on October 30th, which brings together apps like Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade and some extra iCloud storage.

  • Apple Airpods Pro replacement program

    Apple has finally acknowledged tha Airpods Pro issues I described earlier this year and has launched a AirPods Pro Service Program for Sound Issues.

  • Subscription is the new black

    I don’t know about you, but I am starting to feel subscription fatigue. There’s a limit to how many I can add to my credit card.

  • Name Mangler : a hidden favourite Mac app

    Name Mangler by Many Tricks is a life saver when you have batches of files to organise and rename, and it’s super fast (and revertible). These actions could all be performed on the command line or via a shell script, but it’s so much faster to launch Name Mangler and get on with whatever you are trying to achieve.

  • Protein Spotlight gets its comic strip

    Last year, Vivienne approached me with the project of adapting a collection of Protein Spotlight articles into comic strips, both in English and French versions. The Geneva-based cartoonist aloys lolo was to create them on a monthly basis and eventually publish a book as well as set of posters. Could these comics be easily adapted into Protein Spotlight’s existing website?

  • Both AirPods Pro replaced

    I was at the Apple Store this morning exchanging my right AirPod Pro suffering from the same symptoms than the left one early March.

  • That kind of cat

    We chose her name on a pebble beach at Hermance in June 2007. We were on a family outing selecting pebbles to decorate the tiles of our bathroom. The children were 6 and 8, the original iPhone was about to be launched in the US, and I my digital camera was an 8MP Ricoh GRD (I was probably still shooting film).

  • Defer to the most cautious person in your presence

    Rachel shared a couple of guidelines she picked up last week that I find helpful in terms of decision-making, and explaning, around COVID-19 safety when interacting with other people. Having to make decisions without good data about the risk leads to all sorts of behaviours.

  • All skies and water

    Back from a few days off sailing and sleeping on our boat around Nyon, Allamand, Thonon-les-Bains and back.

  • Sharing CSS code between a selector and a media query

    While trying to optimise my SCSS code, I realised that it wasn’t possible to use @extend in a media query.

  • Post confinement

    I’ve been commuting back and forth to my office for over a month now, occasionally eating in restaurants and generally going on with my life as before. Or am I?
