I don’t understand Fake Inbox Zero. It’s the idea that your inbox should always have zero messages. As distinct from Actual Inbox Zero: “It’s about how to reclaim your email, your attention, and your life. That “zero?” It’s not how many messages are in your inbox–it’s how much of your own brain is in that […]
The law of diminishing returns is such that you sometimes spend an increasing amount of effort for a small incremental gain. Its obverse, that sometimes the first step on the road to awesomeness has a huge effect, can also be true. This post is about how fifteen minutes will save you $1k or more. (Not […]
I’m afraid that this post is a little longwinded, and I take a long time to arrive at my point. I hope you will stick with me, as I think it is a valuable insight. It just takes some time to get there. There are two ways to deal with bugs. The first way is […]

In the whole rest of the world, cooking is part of national pride and food culture is cool. […]

I’ve been using my WakeMate for 17 days now. Today they released a CSV export feature and so I’ve gotten a chance to run my data through some basic statistical analysis. I’m primarily interested in knowing what factors affect my sleep. My goal is not to publish some new findings in sleep research but rather […]
Phonepipe was one of my random app ideas that really never got the love and attention it deserved. I wrote it in a weekend, and then Monday happened and real work happened and it ended up on the shelf. There never was a terribly big market for it, and it would be too much work […]
