Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎉

I hope you all managed to find some time to rest and relax over the holiday break. I know I really appreciated a couple of weeks off before embarking on the road to Issue 500, which is just 12 issues away! 😅

As is becoming tradition, this end of year issue is a best-of “And finally…” links from 2020. A look back at the links that might have made you smile, or provided you with an interesting or unusual story. If you want a history of why it’s called “And finally…” I wrote about that a couple of years ago when I first started doing these best-of issues!

So, without further ado, these are my top 11 (yes, it should have been top 10 but I couldn’t quite cut them down 😂) “And finally…” links of last year.

Here’s to a fantastic 2021! 🤩

Just think about what could have been… 🤔

From Issue 465:

How do you record videos of your Apple Watch apps? You have the watch on your wrist, tap the screen with your other hand, and hold the camera with … yea, that’s gonna be a problem! 😂
