Yo,

I hope you had a good weekend. Did you do anything fun?

I travelled home over the weekend, so that was nice. It always feels good to return back to one’s home 🏠. I just enjoy doing normal things like making tea, going to the grocery store, etc after a long trip 🤓.

Is Sunscreen the New Margarine?

Is it possible that we’ve been wrong about sunscreen all along?

It seems we think we know something, then we change our mind, then we change our mind again. It’s hard to be sure what the right thing to do is sometimes.

Also, I’ve been thinking of getting an iPad. I was reading about the design of apps for the iPad and came across this very interesting article about making menus on iOS (and therefore the iPad). The article is pretty detailed and has lots of screenshots and videos, so even if you don’t understand all of it I hope you find it interesting to see the thinking and process for the design they are working on.

Detailing the iOS Menu

I realised six months ago as I was using my Mac, using the menus, that I need these things — menus — in Codea. I was trying to solve a problem that has been solved for decades. So I set out to make the best menus I could make for iOS.

‎Black History Month by Apple Music on Apple Music

itunes.apple.com – Share

Every February, we take time to acknowledge the broad influence of Black Americans throughout history. The Black History Month playlist is a collection of…many vantage points and their vessels, from those dispensed over strings and horns to those unfurled over beats and scratches. Celebrate Black History Month with a journey through the sound of the Black experience.

This Black History Month playlist by Apple is 7 hours and 8 minutes of fantastic music. I remember hearing a lot of these songs growing up. My favorite song on the playlist is O-O-H Child by The Five Stairsteps – I could listen to that on repeat anytime. What is your favorite song on there?

That’s it. I hope you found something interesting. Have a good rest of the week.
