I just renewed my annual donation to Wikipedia. Always happy to support such a core part of the web (and human knowledge). https://donate.wikimedia.org/

If you believe that there’s room for a lifestyle magazine that’s down-to-earth, honest, and humble — one that celebrates people doing what they love, rather than trying to sell you an unattainable lifestyle — then please consider supporting Lagom by purchasing a subscription, or perhaps even a patronage subscription.

We’re currently working on our 9th issue, readying it for publication in November.

Thank you.

Publishing an independent magazine is hard. It’s time-consuming. It’s expensive. And, without deep-pocketed advertisers, we (that is, my wife and I) rely on the support of our readers to make this thing.

And there you have it, from Dieter Bohn of The Verge: “If you want the best camera you can get on a phone today, the Pixel 3 is it.” https://youtu.be/rSFNpJJeo4c

I can’t express how much easier Calendly is making my life right now. I’m scheduling numerous meetings a day across multiple timezones, and having folks be able to pick slots is a godsend. https://calendly.com/

You hit the nail on the head, @caseynewton: https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/10/17957880/why-google-plus-shut-down-social-networks

Pixel 3 ordered. (Woo — the smaller Pixel is finally getting a coloured power button!) Shame there’s a wait list for the Slate — hoping to replace my MacBook ASAP.

The Google HomeHub actually has a fair mount of promise — mainly thanks to Google’s service integrations just about everywhere. Seems like way more than just an Echo Show competitor.

Really, really excited about the Google event later today. Although I must admit I’m going to be disappointed if there isn’t anything new about the Pixel 3 that hasn’t already been leaked.

‘Question: Should I delete my social media?’ — https://thecreativeindependent.com/approaches/question-should-i-delete-my-social-media/ Some great answers here, especially the one from Kimberly Harrington. /via Dense Discovery

That kitchen guy in the video, just nodding away silently on loop. Nod nod nod. Nod nod nod.

An always-on mic and camera from Facebook. What could possibly go wrong? https://portal.facebook.com/

Apparently that was the first ever toot to mention Fontsmith. Shocking!

FS Koopman — the new release from Fontsmith — is rather lovely, eh? https://www.fontsmith.com/fonts/fs-koopman

Any Mastodon users coming to #mkgeeknight tonight? Say hi!

Ticket for the glorious return of @colly’s @naconf purchased. See you in January, Nottingham and GBOLs! https://newadventuresconf.com/2019/

Having the budget iPhone option — if you can use use the word “budget” for a $749 phone — use a screen size that’s in between the 2 top-tier models is a strange decision. Something to do with producing LCD displays at a certain size rather than a deliberate move?

I love a nicely-designed, well-written case study on an agency website. And this one is all about the amazing website @jordanmoore designed and built for us at Lagom! https://dawsonandrews.com/lagom/

Really hoping to make it to magCulture’s ModMag London this year. Who’s going? https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/modmag-london-tickets-49431171966
