Raising Empowered Daughters by Mike Adamick
by
I got into this book shortly after reading A Brief History of Misogyny by Jack Holland. While I expected some connection in the books, I didn’t expect that Raising Empowered Daughters by Mike Adamick would be a strong anti-misogyny book. I expected tips on how to raise my daughters, not a book that thoroughly challenged…
Paul Graham on Disagreeing
by
[Written in 2008 Paul Graham](http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html) writes eloquently about levels of disagreeing. It would be great to say that we all rose to his highest level of disagreement, where we dig into the central argument and refute it. Unfortunately most online disagreement, almost all of it in fact, hits the lowest denominator. Name calling. Of course…

Migrate Your Notes from Obsidian to Craft
by
Craft is a newish note taking application that is appealing strongly to those in the Apple ecosystem. It’s especially appealing if you’re a heavy iPad user because the native iPad app is excellent. Because I’m iPad first I wanted to check it out and see if it was worth moving to from Obsidian, which has…
Dealing with Task Overwhelm
by
If you find yourself staring down a day with way too many tasks in it, then this is a good way to deal with them. I think that the truth is, you have a bigger problem though because you let this happen in the first place. If you’ve done your weekly review, and daily reviews…
Tarah Pro Headphones by Jaybird – Reviewed
by
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Jaybird products. The first pair of headphones they ever released worked for years in all conditions. They easily handled 6 hours in the pouring rain or bushwhacking in the mountains. My wife still uses a pair of their first generation headphones many times a week running and they work…
Reset by Ronald J Deibert
by
While many other books tackle your personal digital life, Reset doesn’t take this approach to the subject. Instead Ronald Deibert looks at the overall tech ecosystem to see it’s impact on society as a whole. The purpose of this book is to synthesize what Deibert sees as an emerging consensus about the problems that relate…
Revisiting Your Ideas – Friday Notes 129
by
While listening to [Bookworm talk about The Practice](https://bookworm.fm/108/) they mentioned that Godin revisited the same topic a bunch of times. Far from a complaint, Mike and Joe looked at it as Godin tweaking his thoughts on something as he had a better understanding of a subject. While I’m not trying to compare myself to Godin,…

My Data iPadOS and macOS Backup Strategy
by
At least a few times a year someone comes to me with a big problem they think I can fix. Their computer died and they want me to help them get it back up because they have some crucial data that exists no where else. They’re always surprised to find out that I have no…
