Following up on The Verge’s miniseries on productivity and how people work…well the latest episode is about and productivity systems. As usual, definitely worth checking out! However for this week, and this follow-up I thought I’d write about my personal productivity system. Is it perfect? No. Is it ever evolving? Absolutely. In fact, in the … Continue reading “Productivity Systems”

I think View Transitions are really neat technology. When used properly, they give a site some polish that I think users appreciate (even if they don’t notice) and of course, it provides the native app feel that users are used to.

I’ve been a “morning person” for as long as I can remember. When I was a teenager, it was common to be up before my parents. My summer job was working at a golf course, which required to be up early. It was a good fit. I was thinking about some of the advantages that … Continue reading “3 Benefits to Being a Morning Person”

I think most people have a comfort show. Mine is Silicon Valley. I think I enjoy the humor and while it’s not “nerd humor” per se, it’s attached to the nerdom I live in and I think that makes it enjoyable. I forget how many times I’ve seen it, but enough that I feel like … Continue reading “Ranking the Silicon Valley Seasons”
