Month: November 2019
Friday Notes 078 – November 8 2019
by
This week I watched an interesting video about how much a small YouTube channel can earn. It has me thinking about putting out extra YouTube content for the next number of months, say two videos a week, to see if I can really earn something there. I’m not talking earning enough to stop doing anything…
My Clean Ergonomic iPad Pro Desk
by
I’ve been getting some questions recently about my iPad Pro desk setup because people think it’s really clean. Well today is the day I show the latest iteration of my clean desk. This is also not one of those “ultimate” desk setups where I tell you what I’ve chosen in some dream desk, this is…
Understanding iPadOS Multitasking
by
I’ve been using my iPad as my primary device for…getting close to 2-years. I was on the iPadOS beta and still with that extra experience there were parts of the iPadOS multi-tasking interface I just didn’t get. If you’re in the same boat, Tech Craft has a great video on understanding iPad multi-tasking you should…
Remember: You Are Awesome
by
Not many of us have been through famines or wars or, lets be honest, any form of true scarcity. We have it all. And the side effect is that we no longer have the tools to handle failure or even perceived failure. These days when we fall we just lie on the sidewalk crying. We…
Surge 3D Headphones Do They Make iPadOS Calls Better?
by
Many months ago I was listening to MacBreak Weekly and Alex Lindsey recommended a set of headphones that he loved. They had proper surround sound and the big selling feature for me was the fact that they had mic that you could plug in to the headset and you’d get decent sound. Those headphones were…
The March of Technology
by
Rose Everett on the “march” of technology. And so we’re left with a tech world claiming to be driven by our desires when those decisions aren’t ones that most consumers feel good about. There’s a growing chasm between how everyday users feel about the technology around them and how companies decide what to make. And…
Doses of Light Help You Sleep
by
At least get doses of light to sleep well. Exposure to bright, morning light was particularly powerful: those exposed to it between 8 a.m. and noon took an average of 18 minutes to fall asleep at night, compared to 45 minutes in the low light exposure group; they also slept for around 20 minutes longer…
The Word Diversity Makes White People Feel Better
by
I’ve intentionally tried to stay fairly quiet on diversity talk online. Not because I don’t have any thoughts, but because I’m a white dude and am not sure I have much constructive to add at this point. I have a feeling that I still need to read and listen to what others are saying (not…
Marcus on No Bad Hires
by
Marcus on “bad hires” It’s sure easy to point fingers at a bad hire, especially after they’re gone. And while this is comfortable, it robs us of opportunities to improve our team, tools, environment, and process. Maybe there aren’t any ‘bad hires,’ similar to the idea of ‘no bad dogs’ or ‘no bad kids.’ Maybe…
The Difference Between What You Have and What You Spend
by
Derek Sivers on budgeting…really. It’s not how much you have. It’s the difference between what you have and what you spend. If you have more than you spend, you’re rich. If you spend more than you have, you’re not. If you live cheaply, it’s easy to be free. While I earn decently, I do end…
