We wanted to make a better braided steel AirTag mount - more compact, stronger, really well made.    So we fired up our Swiss lathe and machined a custom oversized screw that keeps it secure and looks awesome. It is T10 Torx and comes with an included driver.   There is an inner patent-pending gasket that keeps AirTag water tight.    The braided steel loop is strong and has the perfect amount of flex.     And the body is also more compact than any other braided steel AirTag mount, manufactured with an extremely strong and tough glass filled polycarbonate composite.  Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/41ikytG

Introducing The 10-Year Battery for AirTag

My camera bag with $10k of gear was stolen from my car. When I saw the broken glass and empty backseat, I immediately pulled up FindMy to track the thief - only to find that its last location was my office 3 months ago... because I hadn't changed the AirTag's battery. It was a terrible feeling on top of a worse one.  That is why we designed TimeCapsule - it gives you a whopping decade of power so you don't have to remember to replace the battery annually. It's especially nice for folks like us with a lot of AirTags to manage. Just discard the AirTag's back plate and CR2032 coin cell battery, set AirTag on the contacts in TimeCapsule, add 2 AA batteries (we recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium), then screw her shut. Now you've got 14X more power capacity.   It's also fully waterproof so it stays powered in any environment. And no expense spared construction. A fiber reinforced composite body with premium CNC machined screws.  Great for long-term storage like an RV or a boat. And a must have for anything of high-value. It may be the most valuable product we've ever made. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49MY4Dt

Introducing TagVault Security Mount for AirTag

Having had our skis stolen, we wanted to design the ultimate AirTag ski and snowboard mount. It needed to be ultra-tough so it couldn't get knocked off, waterproof, hard to remove, and discreet. After a lot of design, testing, and iteration, we have TagVault Security Mount for AirTag. It can take any impact without problem, IP69 waterproof, tamper-proof and requires a special tool to open, it's ultra minimal and looks great.  And because it's designed for extreme ski requirements, it works great a million other places too.   The angled sides and low-profile keep it from ever getting knocked off from impact. So that snowboarder that was bombing down the hill and slides across your skis while trying to stop, will not harm your AirTag if it's in TagVault Security.  Stealth, minimal design. Thieves won't know it holds an AirTag. IP69 waterproof, the inner gasket keeps the elements out.   An included tri-lock key lets you open and close it easily when you need to swap batteries, but its extremely hard to open otherwise.  So many uses - on ATV's, skis & snowboards, vehicles, trailers, equipment cases - any thing you would want to know where it was if it went missing. AirTags are the best and cheapest insurance you can have. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XDuYkj

WordCamp Asia and Maha Kumbh Mela

It’s been fantastic being in the Philippines for this year’s WordCamp Asia. We have attendees from 71 countries, over 1,800 tickets sold, and contributor day had over 700 people! It’s an interesting contrast to US and EU WordCamps as well in that the audience is definitely a lot younger, and there’s very little interest in … Continue reading WordCamp Asia and Maha Kumbh Mela →

Algorithms are breaking how we think

Today, Alec Watson posted a video titled “Algorithms are breaking how we think” on his YouTube channel, Technology Connections. The whole thing is excellent and very well argued. The main thrust is: people seem increasingly less mindful about the stuff they engage with. Watson argues that this is bad, and I agree. A little while ago I watched a video by Hank Green called “$4.5M to Spray Alcoholic Rats with Bobcat Urine”. Green has been banging this drum for a while. He hits some of the same notes as Watson, but from a different angle. This last month has been a lot, and I’ve withdrawn from news and social media quite a bit because of it. Part of this is because I’ve been very busy with work, but it’s also because I’ve felt overwhelmed. There are now a lot of bad-faith actors in positions of power. Part of their game plan is to spray a mass of obviously false, intellectually shallow, enraging nonsense into the world as quickly as possible. At a certain point the bullshit seeps in if you’re soaking in it. The ability to control over what you see next is powerful. I think it would be great if more people started being a bit more choosy about who they give that control to.
