All About Them Books no Kindle
by
While I do read on Kindle a bit, I prefer physical books by a long shot. Also, this is my local used bookstore about 1 block from my house and I know some of the people in the video. I was reminded of this as my kids listened to the “real” version of the song…
The Funny Carpenter on Drills

My friend Ryan started a YouTube channel about a year ago and has over 20k subscribers. If you’re looking at tools and carpentry tips Ryan has excellent tips.
The Dip vs Range
by
This is my second look at The Dip by Seth Godin. Since my initial read in 2017 I’ve come back to his 3 questions you should be asking yourself before you quit something. First, ask yourself if you are panicking. Are you facing some bad deal or terrible client that makes you want to quit…
What Paths Have you Regretted – Friday Notes 133
by
[I had an interesting Twitter exchange with my friend Brian Hogan](https://twitter.com/bphogan/status/1352295637929373696). He lamented Tailwind and what he thinks mostly technical debt that will come along with it. I feel the same way about Tailwind. It feels wrong in all the places it should feel wrong and despite trying to adopt it a few times, I…
Spaces.do – Great Writing App or DOA?
by
Okay I actually find this name unfortunate because it’s just **Spaces** and if you search for that combined with macOS you’re not going to find the writing application you want to find. You’re going to find a bunch of tutorials on how to use the [Spaces feature in macOS](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh14112/mac).  Spaces.do has…

Why Tweetbot 6 is Worth the Subscription
by
[Matt Birchler published a video earlier today on Tweetbot 6 and it’s move to a subscription model](https://youtu.be/3BEHSHKjlVM). While I get his argument about updates needing to happen to make a subscription worthwhile, I don’t agree with it. Never purchase software based on **future** features. If it doesn’t have the features you need to justify the…
Fundamental Flaws with Cal Newport’s Timeblocking Notebook
by
When I heard that Cal Newport was releasing a timeblock planner I was excited because I’ve liked his work in the past. Unfortunately I think there are a few problems with how the notebook has been designed that make it hard to use day to do. Check out today’s video to see what I think…

Hwang’s purpose is to investigate the ties between how online advertising is structured and how it connects to…
Turning Down $20k Projects – Friday Notes 132
by
I just turned down a $20k project for a local agency. On top of being a decent chunk of change for the year, this would have raised my profile greatly among many different organizations in the city. I would have also had a direct hand in helping provide information and assistance for local businesses to…
