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.

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.
