For the Love of a Bookstore
by
Very much enjoyed this piece about Brazenhead, a bookstore that was in New York. I have a local used bookstore, and while it’s not quite the same thing as a late night party, it’s a place I cherish. I head in almost weekly and come home with 2 or on occasion 20 books. I certainly…
Feeling Safe on Your Bike
by
Enjoyed this comic about feeling safe on a bike. My city is pretty good with bike lanes, though none are fully seperated from the roadway. We do have a few walking/bike only paths that are going through the city and they’re looking better and better. I could now travel about 1km from my house and…
The Revenge of Analog a Book Review
by
While my job is heavily involved in computers and technology, I love analogue things. I’ve even written a book about my own analogue productivity methods because I think they bring a more thoughtful approach to work than digital tools. To say I was interested in The Revenge of Analog by David Sax, was an understatement.…
Elk, Thurston and Mercer
by
In my continued quest to complete the Quest for 10 from Mt Waddington’s I tackled another route today. This is one I’ve done a few times, but it’s always been delightful. While you can head to Mercer from one of the 4WD roads and get within a few kilometres, I much prefer to head up…
More Stuff is Being Produced so FOMO
by
From Doug Belshaw: Here’s an obvious point: there’s more people online now than there were ten years ago. As a result, there’s more stuff being produced and shared and, because of that, there’s more to miss out on. This is known as the Fear Of Missing Out (or FOMO). He lists a number of great…
Fixing some things on my Statamic Site
by
While this wasn’t “live” here is a video of me working through some issues with my Statamic site so that I can get it read to launch and be my new main site.
Freelance Friday 063 – July 26
by
We’re having one of our best weather weeks in a while here in Chilliwack. I got out on a nice run on Monday which took me all the way to the US border, where I met some friendly Americans. Then back up a mountain and to the car. If you’ve found my content helpful then…
Reasons to Purchase Physical Books
by
I don’t love every item on this list, but overall I do read more physical books than Kindle books now. This wasn’t always the case, about 8 years ago I took almost every physical book I owned down to the local used bookstore and turned them in for credit. $400 in credit to be precise.…
How Hard Is It to Be a Millenial?
by
It’s an oft-quoted trope to say that Millenials are lazy and they want everything even when they’re just starting out and have built no real experience behind their work. Tristan Harris is here to show the lie in much of that statement with his book Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials.…
The Obsession With Early Success
by
Your life and career were supposed to have a steady linear timeline. Finish high school, go to college, get your degree, land your first real job, get married, work hard, get noticed, move up steadily, buy a home, start a family, get promoted into management, make more money, and so on until you eventually retired…
