Ghost the Blogging Platform
by
Well Ghost is up on Kickstarter and I’m pretty excited about it. I think that WordPress is just too much for regular old ‘blogging’ and Ghost looks great. I’ve got a few personal concerns though. I run a WordPress consulting business seems I really should be eating my own dog food when it comes to…
Wizards are Busy People
by
Something that pretty much all development shops and consultants have to deal with is the fact that clients need everything yesterday. They email you saying they have heard you are amazing and they have a huge project that they need done next week. The funniest part is that they have a good idea that you…
Arguing Truth without Dismissing
by
While Hackers & Painters seems like a book on programming and ‘nerds’ it’s got a bunch more to say about life in general. It’s not just about running a team and software design. When a politician says his opponent is mistaken, that’s a straightforward criticism, but when he attacks a statement as “divisive” or “racially…
Breakwater
by
Matthew has a great idea here. Over the last few weeks I’ve been increasingly adding more and more waves of content that come to me. Anything related to freelancing invariably gets added, but I’m now at the stage where I’ve spread myself to thin. I’ve been sitting in the same spot lately. So many podcasts…
The Current Bike of Lust is:
by
Cannondale – The All New Synapse from Matthew Schlichter on Vimeo. Yeah I know I put these up every few months and it’s a different bike but right now I want a brand new Synapse. Well it won’t be fully on the market till next year so that means I’ve got 12 months to save…
Digital TODO Lists are Failing Me
by
I’ve used OmniFocus for a while now as a way to manage my daily tasks, but really I almost never actually check it. In fact almost all digital lists are things I don’t check. The real question is why don’t I check these TODOd lists daily? Often it comes down to the fack that I’m…
Forget your Haters
by
One of the great podcasts I have started listening to is EntreLeadership. If you want to get great advice from proven leaders here is a spot to do it. The most recent episode (as of April 22, 2013) is with Jon Acuff about his book start. One of the best things they talk about is…
Trivial Sharing Masked at Deep Relationship
by
I love Bob’s response to this article. I’d say that people can argue that the opposite is true. We’re less connected with the people around us and we share things which are more trivial and matter very little. The ease by which we can share has enabled that. Further I’d say that it holds true…
Status Board for Solo Devs
by
Panic came out with something that looks really cool in Status Board, at least for teams. I work 99% of the time by myself and that makes Status Board cool, but not useful. I have no desire to see my incoming emails (I keep all badges and notifications off already). Twitter should be time boxed…
Allowing Users to skip ‘Metro’ is a Bad Idea
by
So it seems that Windows 8.1 will enable users to skip ‘Metro’ on startup. While I can believe that the current Metro experience (with no way to skip it on boot) would hurt Windows sales, I’m not sure that allowing users to skip it is really a good thing. How many users will just skip…
