Site audits in Chrome
by
This has probably been around for a bit, but I just found out about [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/) audits in Chrome developer tools today. Cool tool I’ll use going forward to make sure my sites are optimized well.
It’s Greg’s Blog
by
[Greg Morris](https://gr36.com/what-is-your-blog/) talks about how he hoped his blog would be read with great interest by many, and then realized that it’s for him. A number of years back I was in the same boat. Watching my stats daily trying to ensure that I keyed in on what everyone was reading so I could continue…
Not Everything Needs to be Digital
by
[Jamie Todd Rubin](https://www.jamierubin.net/2021/02/24/journal-in-obsidian-notes/) talks about his love for Obsidian, but not wanting to put his journal in it. I’m totally in the same boat. I love Craft (and Obsidian before it) for the power of linking, but I love my notebook/journal for writing in. I love the experience of venting a bit on paper, so…
The Gemino Curse of my Book List
by
> There is a scene in one of the Harry Potter films where Harry and his friends end up in a treasure vault which has been boobie-trapped with a “Gemino Curse,” a variant of the Doubling Charm. Each thing touched, instantly doubles. Touch those things and they double. This continues without end. I have sympathy…
How to think about iPad Multitasking
by
So the whole video is decent, but pay close attention to how Chris thinks about which apps are accessible at around the 5:00 mark. If we did more of this on all our computing devices, we would have far less distraction in our lives.
Nice video on Energy Management
by
This was a good video on energy management. While I do like [timeblocking](https://curtismchale.ca/skilltime) I also recognize that it’s important to take big breaks. I have often called this [the mullet method](https://curtismchale.ca/2017/11/28/mullet-method-deep-work/). In short, I work hard from around 6 – 9 then I take a 3 hour break. In the afternoon I work from 12…
Evidently I’m a Productivity YouTuber
by
Was a pleasant surprise to wake up and see myself linked in a YouTuber to follow list. I follow most of these channels as well so I’ll put my voice behind the recommendations.
NES theme site?
by
I’ve been thinking about a site redesign, and this [NEC.css](https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/) looks really intriguing. Thanks to [Matt](https://birchbark.substack.com) for pointing me to it.
I just enjoy my iPad more
by
[Just like Matt](https://birchtree.me/blog/another-god-damned-ipad-post/) I simply: > …don’t enjoy using a Mac nearly as much as my iPad It’s always my first device and I reluctantly use macOS for the things that I can’t accomplish well on my iPad. This is a list that only get smaller over time.
M1 MacBook Pro or iPad Pro?
by
Decent comparison of the two devices. My choice is iPad as my primary device. When I hit tasks that I can’t do well on my iPad (like inspecting web pages for development) then I open up my Mac…reluctantly. I’ve wondered about screensize being an issue though. I’m looking at an M1 MacBook Air to try…
