MacSparky and Two Screens
by
David Sparks now has a reference screen. Studies show that two screens increase productivity, but I’m not sure I buy it. The studies are a controlled environment for a specific task. Our office life is not controlled and we can do anything we want. I wonder how often David will have some other stuff up
Facebook and “Responsibility”
by
Quoting from the article: We have a responsibility to help people understand how much time they spend on our platforms so they can better manage their experience. I feel like they need to replace “responsibility” with an entire aside. Something like: People are pissed at us over Cambridge Analytica and more research shows Facebook is
I am On Live in the Feast Talking about Family Priorities
by
I had the great chance to talk to my friend Jason about family priorities and why I write things down instead of using a digital task manager. This is the start of Jason’s third season of Live in the Feast and it’s a great show. Take some time now to hear us laugh and talk
What the Facebook sharing changes and Jetpack mean for me
by
So Facebook is changing their sharing and JetPack won’t share to my Facebook profile anymore automatically. That means I can’t share my content on Facebook without doing it manually unless I want to share on my page and to get any traction there I need to pay Facebook. So I won’t be doing it. I
Jason Snell reminds us what the product is if we’re not paying
by
Great thoughts from Jason Snell on Anchor podcasting. Sure it’s free but that means you’re the product. They’re going to sell ads against your content at some point. Years ago I started banging the drum about free services. I happily pay for Transistor because I know I’m not the product. I’m the customer. Transistor launches
Some Indie Fiction I’m excited about
by
The sequel to Akairya is getting closer to completion. I’ve read the first one and it was good. One part was a bit to “adult” for my 7-year-old but it wasn’t aimed at readers that young anyway. I just tweak it a bit for her and we both love it. I’ll be buying a copy
On Ergonomic Keyboards
by
Nice review of the Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard. I still prefer my Kinesis Freestyle Solo and I have the second version as well. I’m back on the original right now till I get appeared USB hub for my iPad since V2 had a USB hub in it doesn’t get enough power from the iPad directly.
Failure that looks like Success
by
This was a great post and it comes at an interesting time. See I’ve got this video recorded uploaded and schedule for Wednesday that talks more about my failure/struggles. It’s scary to have it ready since I’m using it as a push to talk with my wife about it. The video claims I have, but
Facebook isn’t friendship
by
Losing friends because you’re not on Facebook is only a valid concern to the extent that your ‘friends on Facebook’ are not really friends at all. From the great James Shelley. I do have a Facebook profile but the only thing I use it for is to interact with two groups. One is a book
Producing a winning proposal
by
The subject of my latest piece at Liquid Web is why you might not be able to talk to the buyer of a project. Do you know the difference between tactics and strategy? Do you know which one the buyer will want to talk about with a good consultant? A buyer that takes you seriously
