Noticing, Not Performing

Many people struggle to journal because they sit down to write and they simply don’t know what to say. They stare at the blank page, waiting for something deep and meaningful to come to them. They want to write something that sounds like it belongs in a journal, something

I Wish Someone Else Made These

Whenever I see someone review smart glasses made by Meta, including the Garmin ones I really wanted, the same thing always comes up. These are great but I wish they were made by someone else. This isn't just reviews either, it's normal people that see or

The Case for Blogging in the Ruins

Joan Westenberg on The Case for Blogging in the Ruins: …we have more information than any civilization in history. But aside from Wikipedia, we've organized the sum total of our collective knowledge into formats optimized for making people angry at strangers in pursuit of private profitability. Joan'

Think For Yourself

Every running subreddit I visit has some version of the same post. "My Runna plan says 10 miles today but my knee hurts, what should I do?" or "Garmin is telling me to take a rest day but I feel fine, should I ignore it?" These

Apple’s notification summaries told BBC readers that Luigi Mangione had shot himself. They told others that Rafael Nadal, a married Spanish man, had come out as gay. They told darts fans that Luke Littler had won a championship that hadn’t happened yet. None of these things were true.

The Things I Stopped Caring About

I used to have opinions about everything. Which note-taking app was best. Whether the iPad could replace a laptop. What the right phone size was. Which task manager struck the perfect balance of power and simplicity. I’d write thousands of words about this stuff, switch tools every few months,

What Boston Will Cost Me

My wife hasn’t complained once. I need to say that upfront because everything that follows might make it sound like she has. She hasn’t. She’s rearranged her mornings, handled events alone, picked up the slack on weekends when I disappear for three hours, and done all of
