  • Going Paperless: The Going Paperless FAQ

    26 Feb 2013 » 9 min read about Evernote, Technology & Gadgets

    have been writing these Going Paperless posts for nearly a year now, and as you might imagine, I get asked the same questions over and over again. This was brought home to me last week, when I appeared on Lifehacker’s “Ask an Expert” feature as the “expert” for paperless living. It was brought up again…

  • My Difficulty with Speed Reading and an Unlikely Solution in Audio Books

    25 Feb 2013 » 3 min read about Reading & Books

    hen I get going, I probably cruise along at an average reading speed. I’ve never tried to measure my reading speed in any scientific way (which, I suppose, is unusual since I measure just about everything else about myself). I read a lot and it might seem to those looking in from outside that I read quickly,…

  • Oscar Night

    25 Feb 2013 » 1 min read about Personal & Family

    turned on the TV to catch some news and was reminded that tonight is Oscar night in Hollywood. I won’t be watching. The whole Oscar thing lost its shine for me after I left L.A. But it wouldn’t matter anyway. I don’t believe I’ve seen a single thing nominated. Not one. So tonight will be…

  • Puppets and the Perils of Parenting (A Little Miss Tale)

    24 Feb 2013 » 2 min read about Personal & Family

    found a unique way of entertaining the kids today while Kelly was on the elliptical machine. The Little Man, Little Miss and I were up in the Little Man’s bedroom. The two Little Ones were happily bouncing on the bed while I sat on the floor, encased in a beanbag chair and attempting to read…

  • The Little Man and the Time Travel Paradox

    24 Feb 2013 » 2 min read about Personal & Family

    am a fan of time-travel stories1 but there is a paradox about time travel that is rarely addressed in these stories. Sure, the stories tackle all sorts of thorny paradoxes (think Back to the Future), but with rare exception, they avoid the biggest paradox of them all: if someone in the future has invented the ability…

  • Post-Paperless Automation, Case Study #1: My Writing Process

    22 Feb 2013 » 8 min read about Evernote, Technology & Gadgets

    uring the Google Hangout Evernote Q&A earlier this week, I talked about how I was beginning to delve into the “post-paperless” automation. One of the advantages of being paperless is that you can more readily automate processes, since the “paper” you deal with is really just data in the cloud or on your computer, table,…

    21 Feb 2013 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    am now more than halfway through my first complete1 audio book, Stephen King’s Misery. And having now listened to more than 7 hours of the book, here are few thoughts: This is one really good book. I had no idea!

    21 Feb 2013 » 1 min read about Personal & Family

    oday has been one of those really long day. From early this morning until about 4pm, I was at the day job, doing various degrees of coding. I managed to escape for a walk at 10am, but almost gave up on my walk because it was so cold. (I pressed on, mostly because I wanted…
