App splurge: Sketch
—
in LiveI bought Sketch, which was on sale for almost $30. It’s originally $50. Can’t wait to try out CSS and Grids with this! Plus, another retina-friendly app. Not bad but oh god, that’s also Php 1.6k less money, haha. I seriously need to go on needs-only mode. So far I’ve successfully kept myself from shopping…

App review: Drafts (iOS)
—
in LiveI downloaded/bought Drafts (for iPhone) a few weeks ago (a month ago? I can’t really remember) and used it maybe twice, but I enjoyed it. I can type on this clean, minimally designed screen and export it to a bunch of services, like Echofon which I use for twitter, Simplenote which is my most-used note-taking app,…

workflow with an iPad
—
in LiveI’ve downloaded two coding apps for the iPad today (Textastic and Koder). That’s around Php670 in total, which leaves me around Php330 or $7.80 of app allowance to spend for the rest of August (a limit I put on myself). Within the next few weeks, I’m going to try experimenting with my workflow a little.…

People Watching
—
in LiveI still feel sad when I notice the ugly traits of some people. I always start out as a neutral observer until the little red flags just pop up one by one, like the itch I get from skin asthma. It never quite goes away once it’s there. Sometimes it’s good to stick to your…
