In the past few months, I’ve been using Notion, a popular collaboration platform. What I discovered is a surprisingly powerful tool that helps me be better at blogging. Here is my review of Notion from a blogger perspective. (If you want a freebie, head to the end of this review for details at the e

Yesterday, I went out for a very long walk in downtown Montreal. Since the beginning of my confinement, more than a month ago, I wanted to go out and experience the city’s emptiness. I took eighty pictures from which I selected nine of the best. The subject of each photo is trying to portray confine

Today marks a month of my confinement. Already. Surprisingly, life still goes too fast. Yet, I do have a feeling it is only the beginning. There will not be a clear cut return to normality. It will be slow, painful, full of uncertainty. It is why I have a feeling that we won’t be back… Continue Read

I rarely write about mockups of potential new user interfaces or new devices. But when I see something that is profoundly good, I have to pass it along. Yesterday I came across the release of a study made by Alexander Käßner, a young UI/UX and digital product designer based in Berlin, Germany (it is

With the iPadOS 13.4 release, the new keyboard could become a pi

Every day, every hour bring this crisis closer to me, all around me. More than ever, I live in a clear and present danger. It is less about angriness more about facing reality. Businesses are shutting down operations, temporarily, for now. My kids’ schools closed their doors for the next two weeks.

At long last, Apple joins the plethora of other companies announcing updated conference plans. They had but no choice. Unsurprisingly, Apple announcement offers a twist by presenting this as a new experience, like if from now on, this is the only way WWDC will take place. I can’t wait to see how dif

Why is this door closed and locked? What is behind it? What can be seen through this window? Where is the key to unlock the lock? Is it still available or was it thrown away? When and why this ship was abandoned? Where did people go? This picture has so many unanswered questions. For me,… Continue R

I’m not afraid. Yet. I’m just angry. This clown (and his incompetent team) in Washington DC are at the worst place at the worst time. This “super-power” is unable to test enough people. So we cannot have the required data to act upon. This is catastrophic. Meanwhile, conferences are being cancelled.
