Maybe keep your day job says Justin Jackson
by
Good podcast exhorting us to maybe not go all in but keep something on the side. While you may have a dream, maybe you need to keep working the main gig to fund that dream.
Freelance Friday 028 – Oct 19 2018
by
This week has been a great week. Some new video equipment is in which you should see in next week’s show on YouTube if you watch it there. Also a new keyboard is in which means no more wires and I have a full ergonomic keyboard. Content wise, I finished out the rewrite of an…
The “productivity hack” of doing what you enjoy
by
This is an interesting thought about getting more done, maybe only do stuff that you enjoy. I try to do that, which is why you see so much writing from me. I enjoy writing and do it when I have the options of doing other things. I’m starting to do videos on iOS productivity, and…
Justin Tadlock Turns off Comments
by
And another person turns off comments. If you come to this site, you’ll clearly see I still have them on. Most people don’t use them. I’ve rarely encountered the assholes of which Justin speaks, and I never deal with the spam. Akismet takes care of it for me so I don’t even have to worry…
On Switching Productivity Methods
by
So Trello has some real science based reasons you may switch productivity methods and tools before the benefits really stick. I think that it comes down to wanting to have some magic bullet to solve the problem of feeling overwhelmed because you couldn’t say no in the first place. Set better boundaries, and keep following…

Something even scarier than New Zealand’s digital strip search, China of course
by

China is working on a “social score”, which is going to be a ranking of how loyal/good you are according to the ruling party of China. Surveillance cameras will be equipped with…
Is Pocket ready for iPad Power Users?
by
Last week I took a look at Unread on iOS. One of the comments I made was that after using Unread, all other reading applications suddenly had a very high bar to jump. Where I once thought that Instapaper and Pocket had decent reading experiences, I realized that they were far behind Unread in this…
An alternate view on the 80/20 rule
by
James Clear has a great take on the 80/20 rule and why you just may not want to follow it exactly. This is the downside of the 80/20 Rule: A new path will never look like the most effective option in the beginning. and The 80/20 Rule will help you find the useful things in…
Photoshop coming to iOS
by
Adobe announced that Photoshop is coming to iOS. Not a stripped down version, but a real full version. While this won’t tempt me away from Pixelmator and VSCO I’m glad to see more powerful apps coming to iOS. I just spent a minute to think harder about what I was missing still…and I can’t think…
