Hello! I’m Jeremy.
Unlike a standard notebook, where you have to flick through every page to find exactly what you’re looking for, all your notes or meeting summaries can be sent and synced. You can even share them with yourself or others. That means you can keep your mind on the conversation, not on where you put that page (spoiler: it’s not in the fridge). It also doesn’t get scruffy, tear easily, or curl at the edges.
A few years ago, I tried the reMarkable 2 and really liked it for what it was. At that time, the software didn't really fit the way I like to work but I'm interested to see how they improved it since. The form factor especially makes it quite enticing. The price is rather on the high-end, though. If they would add support to read EPUBs on this device, it'd be a whole different story.
It's September 15, 2025. Otherwise known as Liquid Glass day. Today, Apple releases the next version of iOS and skips 7 versions in the process. I'm a fan of what Apple is doing with this release though it isn't without its flaws. These past 3 months were especially [exciting] for me since it was my first true summer as an iOS developer. My app GamePal launched back in October of 2024 and I had 'missed' the iOS 18 dev cycle due to being busy actually finishing the app.
The books are selected by tracking Goodreads members' early reviews and the titles that your fellow readers are adding to their Want to Read shelves. We’ve sorted the list into the usual genres, but as always, some books resist easy classification. Which is a good thing! We did our best. Everything below is slated to be published in the U.S. between now and the end of December.
Finally, the nonfiction stacks are particularly intriguing this year. Look for memoirs from authors Arundhati Roy and Elizabeth Gilbert, plus some incredible real-life stories about World War II spies, online entropy, and replaceable body parts. Not in the same book. But still.
Prepare your frontal lobes, because there are a lot of interesting books on the way. Lily King is back on shelves in September with Heart the Lover, concerning a passionate love triangle among English majors—the most lovable of all undergraduates. Author Oyinkan Braithwaite writes of strange magic in her Nigerian family with the heartfelt and humorous Cursed Daughters. And Ian McEwan imagines life in the year 2119 with the literary speculation of What We Can Know.
