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.
I was going to dislike a song on Tom Morello’s album and then I saw the ‘electronic’ part of the song was by Pretty Lights and I changed my opinion of it.
We are giving the American military money that they do not want, but we can’t fully staff the agency that is responsible for collecting tax revenue? We can’t fund education? We can’t fund social programs to help people? What kind of country do these conservatives want to live in?
My immediate response to the title of this article AP: Ivanka, Kushner could profit from tax break they pushed
No, shit, Sherlock. Did it take you some research to figure that one out?
Page Rank Isn't Based on Equal Time
Equal search results doesn’t mean that you have balanced coverage. Also, less conservative results doesn’t mean search is censoring conservative ideas. It means your sites are worth garbage and you should be ashamed of getting news from them.
