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

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

New episode of Cortex! Myke talks to Alec from Technology Connections about how he turns everyday tech into compelling videos, from topic selection and deep research to scripting, hands-on experiment...

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.

Today is my last full day of work before taking a short break for the holidays. I expect I’ll still be checking in on some things next week, but the majority of big projects should be taken care of. Sophia is under the weather again — this time it’s

We discuss what laptops Apple is expected to release in 2026, Apple's AI parsing of podcasts, that time Jason didn't really almost work for Apple, and weird snacks.

When I started producing the State of the Workflow series, I was nervous about what my capability would be at this stage in my career. When I first started podcasting back in 2010, one of the ways I was able to grow both my audience and my skills was by

The week everybody left Apple.

I think this has been a bit of a strange week in the world of Apple. Sometimes there are topics that come up that are interesting to me, but carry with them a lot of baggage. The news of Alan Dye departing the company for Meta is one of those

Thanksgiving is maybe the most American of all holidays. We don’t have anything quite like it in the UK, where we do have something analogous to just about everything else. What I like about Thanksgiving is the idea of taking a day to be thankful and grateful for the

It's Thanksgiving week, and Myke and Jason are using the occasion to draft their favorite Apple TV shows. There's also some drama at the Rumor Roundup corral involving Apple's succession planning, and Google engineers AirDrop for Android.

I just finished putting up our Christmas tree. It’s a little early this year, but the next few weekends are pretty busy, so this felt like the perfect time to get it done and make sure we get the maximum time out of it. A few years ago we

It’s been a big week for content! I wanted to start off by thanking everyone who sent me such lovely messages after listening to the episode of Cortex I recorded with Hank Green. This one really excited people, which felt great. As I mentioned already, it was such a
