This blog is where I reflect on the technology I use, mainly through the lens of Apple – not just the products, but the experience around them. It’s not a review site or a news aggregator. It’s simply my personal record of what works, what intrigues me, what frustrates me, and what I think is worth noticing. There will also be fantasy stories, real stories and other forms of text. Usually word followed by another word.

My journey into computing began early. My first computer was an Atari 130XE, a gift I received as a child. That machine introduced me to BASIC, gaming, and the joy of exploring systems through trial and error. Later came the Atari ST, and eventually the Atari Falcon 030 – both incredibly ahead of their time in audio and graphics.

Then came the inevitable PC era – functional, capable, but never something I loved.

My first entry into the Apple ecosystem was modest: an iPod touch around 2009. That device changed my view of software design and usability. A year later or so, I got an iPad 2, and in 2013 I bought my first Mac: an Macbook 13 inch. That was the turning point. Since then, it’s been Apple all the way – iMacs, MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, Apple Watch – and not just for the ecosystem, but for how the parts speak to each other.

BitByHenke.com is where I capture what I learn, notice, or feel about tech and tools – especially Apple-related things. Sometimes I post photos I’ve taken. Sometimes I write about workflows, music production, or random discoveries. And sometimes it’s just a note to myself that might help someone else, too.

Thanks for being here.
