Famous Female Inventors
by
I’ve been reading a bunch about innovation and didn’t realize that there were few female inventors being cited. So I went looking for some examples and came across this site of famous female inventors. I’m sure there are more, but this was the first thing I found that matched what I was looking for.
My Review of Apps to turn your iPad into a Second Screen
by
You can read the whole thing over at The Sweet Setup. my biggest surprise was that Luna Display didn’t win. I was ready for that to happen and then I turned on Air Display 3 and well it was as good if not better if you want a second screen, plus it’s $9.99 instead of…
Don’t get a plane with your Disney Money
by
Yup it’s a kid in the Disney family on how wealth affected her dad and the two different families that she grew up in as the wealth took a big jump. It wasn’t just the plane, but it’s not a small thing when you don’t have to be patient or be around other people. It…
Neil Gaiman and Tim Ferris’s
by
You can listen here. One of my favourite parts was when Neil talks about his notebooks and writing his stories long hand because it makes him think differently. It at least got me thinking about handwriting some more of my content before I type it out.

My iPad Productivity Thoughts from 2012

Back in 2012 I was hoping to walk around with an iPad as my main work machine. That’s what I’m living now though my bag is still fairly heavy since I carry so many books around just in case I have time to read.
Thinkpad X210 better than a MacBook?
by
Geoff has a pretty cool post about his purchase of an old Thinkpad X210. Something very similar to this was my first computer for college as a hand me down from my dad. The MacBook Pro’s are entirely uninspiring. In fact I think they’re a bad investment currently since it seems that you’re fairly likely…
Just a few of the screwed up things Facebook has done
by
In Mother Jones, yup that’s an Apple News link sorry: ► Facebook’s security chief investigated, as early as the summer of 2016, how the platform was being manipulated by Putin’s minions. Yet as late as April 2017, Facebook still downplayed and scrubbed his analysis of what the Russians had done ► Likewise, Sri Lanka begged…

Good week with some wild temperature fluctuations around here. Almost 20C late in the week but we started closer to 6C at the beginning of the week. You may not see a video next Monday as I’m working on the B-Roll for it. We shall see if I finish it tomorrow at the library. Then…
Diamond Mine or Coal Mine?
by
This is a great video from Matt D’Avella as he interviews Greg McKeown about essentialism. My favourite part comes near the end as he talks about a coal mine vs a diamond mine and our need to recognize which one we live in. https://youtu.be/hsFefdPhL3w
