Missed GRX shifting issues solved
by
My legs were smashed from a 23km run on Friday so I took it easy on Saturday riding around the dyke system in Chilliwack looking for a Christmas tree a friend took a picture of. No tree, but I had a muffin and figured out why I was missing some shifts on my GRX setup.…
Stop Working When You Have Enough – Friday Notes 126
by
I was looking at my income this week and realized something. I have earned out all of 2020 already. I have all the money in the bank that I need for the year. In fact, my next pay check will pay out January and that’s income I’ve already done and will be billing for in…
Cognitive Productivity with macOS

Let’s start with a disclaimer, the author saw me Tweet about some stuff (I don’t even remember what now) and gifted me a copy of his book. Actually he gifted me 3 copies and told me to give away the copies I didn’t want (including the one I read). I had already purchased the Kindle…

6 Months with the Magic Keyboard
by
When Apple introduced the [Magic Keyboard](https://amzn.to/2DC81ZG) I was excited, and sceptical. Sure it looked like an awesome piece of kit for my iPad, but at the same time it’s almost $500 Canadian. That’s a huge price tag for a keyboard with a trackpad that’s limited to use with a single device. A device that has…

Forget the Niche, Where is Your Passion – Friday Notes 124
