I published a new episode of Cortex today: Myke talks to Casey Newton about his workflow for running Platformer, from idea capture to writing and publishing, and how he balances reporting with access to some of the most powerful people in tech. Casey is one of my favourite reporters in
What a week! It really was as busy as I thought it would be. From getting the iOS 26 versions of Widgetsmith and Pedometer++ ready for launch next week, to reporting on the iPhone event, to making sure I have everything wrapped up before leaving for Memphis this weekend — it
After yesterday’s Apple event, I came away feeling this may have been one of the most solid overall lineups in a very long time. Each of the models has a compelling set of features, and I think this is a strong upgrade year — even if you’re coming from
We’re in it now, folks — it’s well and truly iPhone season. I’m really looking forward to the keynote event on Tuesday. With rumours of a refreshed design for the Pro phones, new AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the iPhone 17 Air, it feels like we’
September is here! Well, that’s how it feels to me — even if technically there are still a few days left. This past week we got the iPhone event announcement, and we officially launched our fundraising campaign for St. Jude. Both of these things feel very September to me. So

Happy Friday! Sophia is six months old today. It’s wild that we’re already halfway to a year. Some days are amazing, some days are hard — but every day has felt like a blessing. We’re lucky to have her. As I mentioned last week, Relay turned 11 on
There's a new episode of the State of the Workflow series out today: Myke talks to Simone Giertz about her workflow for turning ideas into products, from early sketches and CAD prototypes to manufacturing, launching, and running a product studio alongside her YouTube channel. I’ve followed Simone’
Today marks Relay’s 11th birthday. While each individual year doesn’t carry the same weight as the 5th or 10th, the fact that we’re still here all these years later means a great deal to me. In recent months, there’s been a fresh wave of chatter about
For many years, we’ve been lucky to work with animator HM Boutet on a series of animated videos for Cortex. These videos originally started as something HM produced for their own YouTube channel, and we loved them so much that we commissioned them for the official podcast YouTube channel
If you’ve listened to any of my podcasts this week, you’ll know my back pain is still continuing. It’s been a pretty frustrating week in that regard. I’ve been doing my best to take it easy, follow expert advice, and I think things are starting to
It’s been a tough week, gang! I have a long history of back problems, which over time I’ve mostly managed to keep under control. However, every year or so I’ll have some kind of flare-up that puts me on the shelf. Unfortunately, that happened earlier this week
