The way @evernote is handling their price upgrade is a compelling case study in how to alienate your oldest customers quickly.

That's right, if you are a really old, really loyal customer you literally can't confirm the removal of these devices. That's bad enough, but it won't let you use @evernote until you complete this step. So then you go look for their support option.

I just saw a person with a VR headset on in a co-working space and it's the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I want to be near other people AND I want to block out their presence at the same time.

@browsercompany Do you have an ETA for the windows version? I just went through 6 browsers looking for a better productivity experience and got excited by the Arc reviews, but its Mac OS and iOS only. I am telling you, straight up, Windows and Android users need this the most.

The absence of good cross device browsing continuity is more pronounced outside of the Apple ecosystem. I work across a windows laptop, windows desktop, pixel phone, and iPad. I waste a ton of time trying to find open tabs and just keeping myself organized across brainspaces.

I keep two lists. When people offer to do something to help me, especially an investor, they will end up on the "All talk" list or the "Actual Heroes" list.

I know I have been heads down, but how did I not know that SF Tech week was a thing until just now?

Lots of the rapid progress in AI startups gets me excited. Unfortunately many seem to be firmly planted in FNAC territory too.

Sarcastic productivity protip: get a bad cold, leave on a flight right before it goes away, and then get COVID.

No rental car offices open. No ground transportation. I don't want to be in this connecting airport I'm the first place, but the airline (Southwest this time) is just like, sorry, your problem. No compensation. No nothing.

It's always a good sign when you are doing early discovery but people are so excited they just want you to sell them.

A masterpiece of an article from @asmartbear.
