Why People Write iPad “in the Real World” Work Pieces
by
Inspired by this post and specifically this quote: Ask yourself: if the iPad really was that good, wouldn’t that be a rather self-evident fact then? Would you need an article (or several dozen actually, published over the course of nine years) that tried to convince you of the merits of such a device? Or change…
Cal Newport on the Indie Web
by
I enjoyed this post by Newport about the Indie web. I’m on Mastodon more and more and Twitter less and less. I left Facebook behind long ago and haven’t looked back. Instagram, is a bit more problematic because I genuinely enjoy it, but it’s also owned by Facebook who is a bane on society. Newport’s…
Always Enough Work
by
You will always be able to find enough work to skip your run. There will always be one more thing to do so you can’t go watch your kid swim or skate or play basketball. There is always one more email that will entice you to keep your laptop open instead of curling up with…
Faith Based Productivity Launched
by
I’ve talked about Mike’s Faith Based Productivity before and I’m not only telling you it’s good, I am a client. There is no affiliate thing going on, I just like Mike’s course and think that if you’re looking for a place that takes your faith into account with your productivity, you won’t find a better…
Is Reeder 4 or Unread the Best iOS RSS Reader?
by
A while ago I said that Unread was the new bar for having a beautifully readable interface for your text based content. It was so much better I felt that Instapaper needed to take a step forward to keep up. Now Unread has some faults, most glaringly it’s entire lack of the ability to manage…
After work there is still all the chores to do for working families
by
From Screentime Age: At three, most families choose Community preschool programs, which often only run for two hours a day. Kids go to another child care provider after this. Then when parents come home after working a full day they are still left with all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and housework to do. Schools…
Chances are I won’t come back to contribute to WordPress again
by
From Daniel Jalkut: I don’t think the WordPress team is bad, by any means, but I think this is a “team smell.” When somebody comes to your project with a well-thought-out, unit-tested fix, and is met by radio silence? The chances are high that they will never come back again. I have submitted WordPress patches…

Productivity is not cranking more widgets
by
Enjoyed this post by Mike Schmitz. In particular this quote. Productivity is not cranking more widgets. Productivity is not doing all the things. True productivity is saying “no” to the things that don’t matter so you can say “YES!” to the things that do. I think that NO is the most productive word you have…
Some Remote Work Stats
by
Interesting survey on remote workers. Here are some highlights for me. 60% of remote workers work fixed hours. So that’s a typical 9-5 job and while the post talks about the benefits of working in your PJ’s, they don’t mention that many of these people drop a huge commute. If I had to drive into…
