Joe Is Focused on Depth I’m Still Focused on Margin
by
Joe Casabona is focusing on depth this year. My theme last year was supposed to be space/margin as in I needed more of it. Sitting here on January 3, I failed pretty bad at it. I’m feeling more stressed lately and like I have less control of my time. It comes down to a few…
If You Don’t Trust Your Employees to Work Remotely Why Did You Hire Them?
by
Good article in Quartz about working remotely and the productivity benefits you can have. I’ll admit, that you do have to be focused and strict about your time at home though. Building software for startups is a huge challenge. Not because writing the software itself is that hard, but most startups have managed to create…

I’m writing a new book (suscribe to get the rules to survive freelancing first) and using Scrivener as always, but it’s pretty rough on iPadOS. I’ve looked at Ulysses as well, and in my looking found this great post from Matt Gemmel on using Ulysses to write his books. How to Write a Novel with…
Overparenting Backfired
by
My thoughts align with this video on over parenting. I’m the dad at the park that sits as far away as possible reading a book really only paying attention to the 3-year-old. I’ve even had other parents chastise me for my very hands off approach. I’m working hard to let my kids be out doing…
Three (or More) Years to Success

It is worrying that these companies are aware of the negative results of programs like Amazon Prime, but are slow to make changes for the better as they continue to hurry packages along. If…
Powerbeats Pro, Galaxy Buds, AirPods and Waterproofness

Decent round up of the waterproofness of the Powerbeats Pro, Galaxy Buds, and AirPods. I have the Powerbeats Pro and have found over the last few months that if they’re damp at all it’s a pain to get them charging. In fact, the charging situation with them has been the biggest pain in the but.…
A PC Is a Personal Computer, an iPad Is a PC
by
From Harry McCracken via The Loop A PC is a personal computer, and a personal computer is any digital device you use to create, collaborate, and communicate. I find that I can perform all three tasks most efficiently on my iPad. I’m glad we finally got to an era where that just makes me a…
