If you’re wondering about new iPhones
by
Then The Sweet Setup has a review. I still don’t think that the new iPhones provide much value though. Certainly not over $1000 of value. So that leaves me maybe looking at Android. Unfortunately it seems I may have to spend a bunch just to get a phone where they keep up with security updates…
Apple Watch Series 4 – Why Not Just Disconnet?
by
Where Patrick was excited about this final paragraph in Shawn’s article, I’m wondering why we can’t just disconnect? It allows me to leave my smartphone at home but still be reachable by text or phone (and I can still stream music to my bluetooth AirPods if I’m at the gym or driving the CJ), but…
More Goodness in Ferrite for iOS
by
I read this and yes I’ll be purchasing the update to Ferrite. The only reason I haven’t is that I run my business on Profit First and it’s not pay day so I don’t have expenses in my expense account. That means on Sept 25th I’ll make the purchase. Unfortunately, I still don’t see the…
Alternatives to Evernote
by
This post on DEVONthink and Notebooks as an alternative to Evernote got me thinking again about what I do. Here is a quick rundown of what I tried. DEVONthink for iOS and macOS I tried this and there is so much to love about it. The “trial” mode felt really weird at first, but in…

Is Social Media Worth My Time?
by
In my reading recently I came across the three articles linked below all of which have me thinking about the hamster wheel that we all participate in to some extent. This is the hamster wheel of content creation. Image/brand building. Showing our life off to others in an effort to … what? I’ve been killing…
Should we revamp work day to match school days?
by
They at least start to ask that question well here. But then they fail by saying that we should be moving a school day to work with a work day. We should be moving a work day to align with what we have for a school day now. We work way too many hours as…
The “lazy” people we have lauded in the past
by
On Darwin: But at the same time, his days don’t seem very busy to us. The times we would classify as “work” consist of three 90-minute periods. If he had been a professor in a university today, he would have been denied tenure. If he’d been working in a company, he would have been fired…
So Author’s and Social Media
by
Hrm, need to send this one to my book coach. They tell me I must use social media to make book sales and this, from an author, contradicts that. Social media is not a way to grow your “fame”, it’s a reflection of your fame. Outside of a few outliers like Shit My Dad Says,…
Tom McFarlin – is social media good
by
Love many of the points here: Twitter seems to promote more negativity on all sides of a given issue. People tend to complain more, offer fewer solutions, and chastise one another more than they offer any alternative course of action. I don’t see how this can be a Good Thing. On Instagram: This results in…
