Pelikan Hub 2018 – Hong Kong 🇭🇰
It was a pretty fun night and met a lot of nice people. I even got invited to their weekly pen meet tomorrow morning.
More pen stuff, yes please!

Hobonichi for 2019 ordered.
The iPhone is a franchise, a product that will make money in well-defined ways; Apple understands that and is exploiting it more than ever before with the iPhones XS and XR.
I, too, noticed this bit in the Apple keynote and was trying to figure out my thoughts about it.
This article puts it’s all so succinctly I just have to bookmark it.
It is true that as smartphones become more capable and the market matures, a lot of lay people are finding less reasons for upgrading on a 1-2 year cycle. Instead of artificially limiting the lifespan of its products, Apple is dedicating themselves to creating devices that lasts the mileage.
In this age of consumerism, I think this attitude should be commended.
Of course, this comes at a cost. If Apple is to encourage people to buy at a lower frequency, they’d need to increase the cost of each individual unit.
I’m sure a lot of people would feel my way of thinking to be too optimistic and is attributing too much to Apple. And that may be true. But this doesn’t negate the fact that at the increased cost (which the other brands would follow, I’m sure), people would slow down their tech purchasing. And that, can only be good for the environment.
Edit: And I forgot to credit @bennomatic for originally linking the article.
Oh no! I avoided MB until I had time to watch the Apple Keynote, but there has been so many posts that I’ve reached the MB limit and is getting the “no more posts” message. @manton, how do I view posts that are further back in the timeline?
@jacksonoftrades hey, this would be really weird, but would you want a free Hello Fresh box? I have a coupon for a free box for NZ customers (Hello Fresh is starting in NZ I guess) and you’re like the only person I know in the country.
This is the World Wide Web – not the Google Wide Web. We will do as we damn well please. It’s not our job to please Google and make our websites nice for them. No, they got this the wrong way round – it’s their job to make sense of our websites, because without us Google wouldn’t exist.
