Friday Notes 078 – November 8 2019
by
This week I watched an interesting video about how much a small YouTube channel can earn. It has me thinking about putting out extra YouTube content for the next number of months, say two videos a week, to see if I can really earn something there.

Rose Everett on the “march” of technology. And so we’re left with a tech world claiming to be driven by our desires when those decisions aren’t ones that most consumers feel good about. There’s a growing chasm between how everyday users feel about the technology around them and how companies decide what to make. And…
Doses of Light Help You Sleep
by
At least get doses of light to sleep well. Exposure to bright, morning light was particularly powerful: those exposed to it between 8 a.m. and noon took an average of 18 minutes to fall asleep at night, compared to 45 minutes in the low light exposure group; they also slept for around 20 minutes longer…
The Word Diversity Makes White People Feel Better
by
I’ve intentionally tried to stay fairly quiet on diversity talk online. Not because I don’t have any thoughts, but because I’m a white dude and am not sure I have much constructive to add at this point. I have a feeling that I still need to read and listen to what others are saying (not…
