Default Apps update for 2024
by
You can find my default apps list from 2023 here and there aren’t many changes so I’ll only highlight those few apps that did change. Outside of settling on a read later service I don’t anticipate any changes.
I need beginner learning recommendations for programming?
by
I’ve got someone that is interested in online work but has no real prior experience. Some options I’m aware of are: Do you have other options? The person is close enough that I’d put time into supporting their learning if they put in the effort.
If you don’t own your domain you own nothing
by
Manuel on not liking Substack. The first reason is that it’s incredibly easy to get started on Substack and also very easy to get going but most non-tech savvy people don’t realise that by not owning their domain name they don’t really own anything. If you run your publication on Substack using a subdomain, Substack…
Does Bullet Journal Let You Prioritize Tasks?
by
This video is a good summary of the Franklin Covey Planner system, with the big highlight for the creator being that unlike her Bujo practice, she’s able to prioritize her tasks with the Franklin Covey system. I wrote about how I modified the Bullet Journal System to suit better monthly and weekly planning. I also…
The Re-reading project

What if you spent a year re-reading the books you thought were your favourites? I’ve often thought of some rule like this for a year of reading.

Fionn is a band out of White Rock BC. I found out about them near the end of last week when YouTube recommended their cover of Toxicity. While I try to pick a favourite album from an artist I just can’t. Both the albums available on YouTube music have multiple tracks I love. Unfortunately they…
Die Hard – Daughter movie night 2
by
My oldest daughter (14) has a night free and we’ve been using it to hang out. We’ve been far morestrict about the movies we’ve allowed her to watch but at 14 I we’ve loosened the reigns almostentirely. Last we she picked Uncharted which is a fun action romp. This week I got to watch Die…
A Reminder How my Interests Change
by
I’m reorganizing my Obsidian notes a bit, specifically the notes that correspond with ideas to write/YouTube about and came across one from Barking Up the Wrong Tree about networking. The author is talking about “non-sleazy” network building and specifically highlights rekindling old relationships instead of trying to manufacture a relationship out of nothing with cold…
