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…
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,…
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…

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,…
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! I seem to recall seeing bits and pieces of the movie once, a long time ago, but the book…
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…
