When Work Requires Engaging in Distraction Factories – Friday Notes 127
by
On one hand there is a lot of good on YouTube, I’m awesome and I have a channel so it must be good. There is also a lot of terrible distraction on YouTube. I’m going to focus on YouTube today, but the ideas are the same for many of the mediums we encounter. Lots of…

Missed GRX shifting issues solved
by
My legs were smashed from a 23km run on Friday so I took it easy on Saturday riding around the dyke system in Chilliwack looking for a Christmas tree a friend took a picture of. No tree, but I had a muffin and figured out why I was missing some shifts on my GRX setup.…
Stop Working When You Have Enough – Friday Notes 126

I was looking at my income this week and realized something. I have earned out all of 2020 already. I have all the money in the bank that I need for the year. In fact, my next pay check will pay out January and that’s income I’ve already done and will be billing for in…

by
Given that most of what I do starts with writing, I’d say firmly that I’m a writer now more than a programmer. I certainly devote more time to my writing than I do to my programming. When I saw The Organised Writer being recommended by a few people I follow, I grabbed it right away…
6 Months with the Magic Keyboard
by
When Apple introduced the [Magic Keyboard](https://amzn.to/2DC81ZG) I was excited, and sceptical. Sure it looked like an awesome piece of kit for my iPad, but at the same time it’s almost $500 Canadian. That’s a huge price tag for a keyboard with a trackpad that’s limited to use with a single device. A device that has…
