Breakwater
by
Matthew has a great idea here. Over the last few weeks I’ve been increasingly adding more and more waves of content that come to me. Anything related to freelancing invariably gets added, but I’m now at the stage where I’ve spread myself to thin. I’ve been sitting in the same spot lately. So many podcasts…
The Current Bike of Lust is:
by
Cannondale – The All New Synapse from Matthew Schlichter on Vimeo. Yeah I know I put these up every few months and it’s a different bike but right now I want a brand new Synapse. Well it won’t be fully on the market till next year so that means I’ve got 12 months to save…
Trivial Sharing Masked at Deep Relationship
by
I love Bob’s response to this article. I’d say that people can argue that the opposite is true. We’re less connected with the people around us and we share things which are more trivial and matter very little. The ease by which we can share has enabled that. Further I’d say that it holds true…
Allowing Users to skip ‘Metro’ is a Bad Idea
by
So it seems that Windows 8.1 will enable users to skip ‘Metro’ on startup. While I can believe that the current Metro experience (with no way to skip it on boot) would hurt Windows sales, I’m not sure that allowing users to skip it is really a good thing. How many users will just skip…
I Miss The Magazine
by
When Marco launched The Magazine, I was all in. A magazine about nerdy topics but not programming or tech specifically was something I was missing. But that’s not what The Magazine is anymore, at least not for me. It seems to me that by opening up the writing to a broader range of subjects we…
Data I do Care About
by
I was thinking again about owning your data and really it comes down to the fact that I see no real value in the data that I’m putting in to Twitter/Facebook. Yes the relationships matter, but not the data. Data I Care About I am an avid cyclist, so avid that I record my sleep…
February 2013 Income Report
by
I’m way behind on my income reports, but here is the one for February. Overall February was awesome. Income was up from January and I’m well on track to hitting my goals for the year. The huge increase in income has allowed my wife to leave her job (which she just didn’t enjoy anymore) and…
Is that Owned Content Worth Anything?
by
I love the thought of owning my content. I mean why make Twitter/Facebook/other’s better by providing them with content so they can sell ads to you? It seems silly but that is the world we live in. To that end I have supported Pressgram. Being able to put all your photos on a property you…
Take Yourself out of the Loop
by
I’ve been very busy with work lately and many of my regular tasks have been falling by the wayside. To try and make things faster/easier I’ve turned to IFTTT and now I wonder why I waited so long. What I’ve Automated AMA Podcast One of the big things I’ve been missing has been the AMA…
Minimal or Not Finished?
by
I’ve been very intrigued by all the talk about minimal blogging (or publishing) platforms lately. feathe.rs is one such platform that looked really nice. But I say looked. Go read that review to get some more context on where I’m going next. I 100% think that WordPress is awesome. I 100% think that WordPress is…
