What Makes A Good Zettelkasten Note
by
I’ve done a bunch of videos on my Obsidian setup and even walked you through how I use Obsidian to track both book notes and random notes on other things I’m reading. Today we’re not going to talk so much about a piece of software as what type of data should be in your notes…
How to Take Smart Notes – Book Review
by
We all write in some fashion at some point. Maybe it’s to clients in a project management system as you recommend the proper solution to their problems. Maybe it’s on a blog as you review gear and books. Maybe you even write books or research papers. There is lots of advice out there to help…
Sometimes we Fall off the Wagon – Friday Notes 107
by
Every few years I fall off the content wagon. I go from publishing several posts a week to…possibly publishing nothing for a week or a month, or a few months. I used to beat myself up about this because I wasn’t delivering the content I said I’d deliver. As with most people, I’d imagine the…
Obsidian Files on Your iPad with 1Writer
by
While I’ve been loving [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) over the last few months as my main idea connection and research application, it does have one big shortcoming for those of us that are iPad first in our work. **There is no iPad/mobile application**. Yes one is coming, but it may be a while before we get it and…
SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless with maOS and iPadOS
by
Almost a year back my SteelSeries Wireless H headphones finally died after many years of stellar use. I tried to simply use my PowerBeats Pro for all my macOS, iPadOS, and iOS needs throughout the day, but they simply weren’t cutting it. Yes the mic is decent, and they change between devices fairly easily, but…
Work Journal – Stopping Two Calls in Short Order for The Same Data to an External API
by
I have a scenario where I need to flag a user on an external API when order status changes. This currently works but we also need to flag them with the same flag if users are granted a complimentary membership/subscription inside WooCommerce Subscriptions. Investigating how to ensure we don’t hit that external API twice, once…

Brooks defines the first life of living mostly for yourself and focused on your own individualism and personal desires as the **First Mountain**[^1]. To Brooks…
The Apple Magic Keyboard Isn’t Worth $349 – Yet
by
As we get more feedback on the new Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro I’m getting more interested in purchasing it. On one hand the keyboard looks to be one of the best keyboards if you’re working mobile with your iPad Pro. On the other hand…$349 USD[^1] for a keyboard is a huge investment. Today…
Use Obsidian to Take Notes on Books
by
When I read something I want to make sure that I understand it. For a long time now I’ve been keeping physical notebooks to go with the non-fiction that I read. I think that the requirement to write down anything important in a book is a great filter because if it’s too much work to…
Migrated to Statamic V3
by
You may have noticed that the look of this site totally changed over the weekend, or maybe you didn’t. My site is now running [Statamic V3](https://statamic.dev/) under the hood instead of V2. The upgrade process was relatively painless when I ran it locally via Laravel Valet. I had a bit more trouble when I tried…
