NOT the Best iPad or Laptop Mechanical Keyboard
by
The Nuphy Air60 is a tri-mode wired/wireless 60% keyboard with pre-lubed switches and double-shot PBT switches with dye-sublimated legends. This is a low-profile keyboard and Nuphy bills it as a solution to the terrible keyboards on some of the older MacBook Pro’s. Let’s get that idea out of the way first. Yes the butterfly keyboards…

How to Produce Content with Your Notes
by
One of the lines in the first Batman movie with Christian Bale is when Bruce Wayne is pinned under a huge timber and Alfred says “what’s the point of all those pushups if you can’t list a silly log?”. The same goes for your notes. What’s the point of all those notes if you’re not…

The Devil’s Curve by Arno Kopecky
by
As with many books I’ve read recently, this was a hard read. The Devil’s Curve is a well-written book but it’s hard emotionally to see what people do to other people. Kopecky hears about the Devil’s Curve and the death of many native Peruvians and starts to wonder what part Canadian companies have to play…

No Maintenance Research System?
by
In this excellent video Peter Akkies talks about your weekly review templates, but I want to focus on what he says around the 7:00 mark. He says that if you don’t do your weekly review you’ll end up with a system you can’t trust because you no longer understand what’s in it. This is why…
