It has been hard for me to start a new habit of sitting down with intention and reviewing my day/week/month to see if I did what I wanted to do and to find areas that I could change.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to add a time for review/reflection into the daily routine?
Fantastic update to the Dialog from @mike_fm
Really like the look of the app now. And being able to post from the app is great. Can’t wait to see what else he has up his sleeve.
I am tired of reading stories about how everything is going wrong and we are all doomed because of decisions made by companies.
I am tired of hearing from people who have no hope of a redeeming future.
I will try to make 2019 a year of hope; not dismay.
The new Echo Dot just told us it needed a software update and to check back in s few hours. Technology is weird.
Two really quick thoughts about the Pixelbook
-
This keyboard is fantastic. Excellent key travel and feel. It is probably the best keyboard on any mobile device I have used.
-
The screen is really damned good.
Seth Godin thinks tools are more important than time when trying to reach goals.
Often, we spend most of our time throwing ourselves at the wall instead of investing the time to find a useful ladder instead.
I think he’s right. I think the Goals you set should lead you to look for the Tools you need to reach the Goal.
Rabbit, fire up the pod.
This is a good list to Look After Yourself from Swiss Miss.
My favorite is
Stop being so hard on yourself
I’m working on that every day.
It’s Christmas, Theo. It’s the time of miracles.
No, YOU’RE trying to talk yourself out of buying a Pixelbook.
Saw a preview for Vice and my first thought was I don’t want to see anything about that followed quickly by “oh god they’re going to make movies about Trump”.
You sit on a throne of lies.
Seth Godin on being specifc is pretty good.
When you’re specific, you only find two kinds of people: people who are delighted, and the rest.
Short and sweet.
Google is really good at marketing. I almost pulled the trigger on a Pixelbook today, but I was able to remind myself I didn’t really need it yet.
That being said. I think the Pixelbook will be my next laptop of choice. Unless someone makes a great looking, well built, and high powered Chrome OS tablet/convertible.
It is now officially year in review and best of the year list time because that is how everyone celebrates the end of the year: by looking back.
I say we leave 2018 in the past and focus on making the most out of 2019 as we can.
They made a Hellboy movie without Ron Perlman as Hellboy?
How does Del Taco not have any quesadillas? It is literallly cheese between tortillas. Does that mean they don’t have any tortillas? They ran out of cheese?
I don’t understand this.
Nick Heer on when Google testified before congress
Virtually the entire running time of the hearing was characterized by members of Congress grandstanding on their issues of choice, rather than using their time to ask thoughtful questions.
That sums up Congress pretty well. We elect lawyers and millionaires and then expect them to be able to ask thoughtful and logical questions when they are just there to grandstand and cover their asses.
I love these photo roundups from Erin Boyle.
The idea that you can sum up your week with a few photos better than a short essay is intriguing to me.
I have a good amount of projects that I want to start working on in 2019. It will be a busy year around the house if I can get myself motivated to tackle all the projects. Some things I need to do and some things I want to do and somethings I should do.
