The School Christmas concert
by
Yes my kids were cute but I wonder why we do it. It seems like some vestige of faith and celebrating the birth of a deity. No we didn’t have faith based songs or a faith based play, but I still wonder why we hang on to this traditional performance.
Send Obsidian Notes to OmniFocus as Tasks
by
I read a bunch of books and sometimes it’s hard to remember which one I’ve processed my notes on. Today I’m going to show you a Shortcut that sends an Obsidian note to OmniFocus so that I have a running list of books I need to revisit. Why Not Obsidian? Some of you make wonder…
Matt shares new music
by
Well at least it’s new to me. Over on his site he’s been sharing an album a day and I’ve been listening to them as I’m always searching for new music. Overall, Matt’s got great taste. Most of the albums have been excellent, and the rest have been fine enough for a listen but not…

I Wasn’t Productive Today and I Won’t be Productive Tomorrow Either

YouTuber’s Waste My Time
by
Watching YouTube videos today for PKM Weekly and the biggest frustration I have with YouTuber’s is “fancy” intros that spend a minute or more wasting my time showing off stuff. Just get to the point. Even the PKM community is not immune to it. What baffles me is that some of the “biggest” channels spend…
Writing advice from Matt Haughey – Don’t be an asshole
by
Good advice from Matt. Forget the word salad corporate speak and just tell people what you’re providing. I find this in YouTube videos as well. Everyone wants to do some fancy intro so you don’t get to the meat of the content for at least a minute. My goal is to get people into the…
Does VC Money Do Anything Good?
by
After reading this article about the future of media companies I wonder if VC money does anything good at all. Uber was supposed to revolutionize cars, but just looses money. The only thing it did was drive pricing down for similar services, like Taxi’s, and make it harder to earn a living in the field.…

Apathetic about Social Media
by
Much like Tom, I’m feeling pretty apathetic about social media lately. Social media drives little traffic to my site. While people I have met on social media have contributed to my career (working an entire year for someone I met via Twitter) I’m still not sure I want to invest time there. What if I…
