How Many Apps Can Interrupt You?
by
From Mike at The Sweet Setup: When you launch a new app on your iPhone, 90% of the time the first thing you see is a request to allow notifications. More often than not, the default is “yes.” Don’t believe me? Go into your Settings right now, tap Notifications, and count how many apps have
Freelance Friday 064 – August 2
by
I’ve almost got my new Statamic site ready to launch. No, it won’t have quite everything that I have now. My WooCommerce stuff will run at store.curtismchale.ca (not live yet), at least for now. I also made a few hours progress on The Freelancer’s Guide to Marketing. Needs a complete read through for proofing then
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.
