New Ass-savers

Might be time for another batch of these. The one on the Langster is starting to look a bit worse for wear and Drew is starting to cycle as well. Ethan already has one for his mountain bike for cycling to school.

Also I'm fed up with picking out mud from the back of my forks. The Mudder might help with that problem.

My kind of blogging

The no-pressure kind. Manton Reece explains.

I love that blogs can scale from the trivial to the important. The microblog post about what you had for breakfast. The half-baked rant about something you’re passionate about. And sometimes, the rare essay that really hits the mark and makes people think.

No-pressure blogging by Manton Reece

I've been struggling to blog more in the last couple of years. Partly that's down to me trying to produce too high a level of content. I should just blog what comes to mind. It won't all be great, but every now and again there will be a post that really stands outs.

Observations ...

... from our man in Arizona, Michael Wade.

  1. The best way to create magic is never to rely upon it.
  2. Be wary of those who think everything is driven by money.
  3. The most important conversations are those that are never held.
  4. Think more of your habits than of your plans.

Patrick is nonline

Patrick is now nonline for at least the next year.

As of March 4, 2017 I’ve stopped all online publishing. This includes my websites and social media accounts. No blog posts, no tweets, no status updates. I’m nonline. I expect this to last at least a year. In that time, I’ll be writing. My goal for that writing is to become a book.

On Sabbatical by Patrick Rhone

I'm glad Patrick is still going to be running his newsletter during this sabbatical. A little opportunity to see how the writing is going and what else he's been doing.

Looking for an agile friendly project management tool. Team have outgrown Trello. Looking at Jira and PivotalTracker. Any others I missed?

Installed .NET Core and Visual Studio Code. What could go wrong?

Holding off on an iMac purchase to see if any new models come out soon. What’s the chances of Apple releasing a curved iMac?
