Hacker debate
Nothing like an Apple product launch to get a hacker debate going. Me, I can take it or leave it. I’ve grown increasingly immune to these product launches over the years. And I’m glad I have.

That’s a much more interesting story.

Is this the end of the todo list?
Jeff Atwood uses his brain, Curtis McHale has thrown away some of his list and I’ve completely deleted mine. Is this the end of the todo list?
As I analyze, reflect, and write, I found myself scratching out my own list; my own criterion for what I want from this finicky thing I’ve been given, this life. Wandering around the world, writing, running, thinking, touching, laughing, dancing: what’s most important? What is not important? What should we be doing? Or rather, what are we doing? And if given the choice, how will I live? Are there any criteria that resonate across all that I do?

John Gruber's review of the Kindle Paperwhite
I know the Kindle Paperwhite isn’t out in the UK yet, but I’m reading the reviews to see what others think. After Scott Hanselman’s review I thought it wasn’t for me, but John’s review is a bit more favourable of the new Kindle.
Wishlist Wednesday - A better career 7
Freelancing has been on my mind recently. If I start going down this path, then I will be taking it a lot slower than I previously did.
- To wake up on a work day and look forward to it

- To have one day a week to brush up on new skills and work on products
- To call the shots on the work that I want to do
- To have a flexible work day
- To progress further in my field of expertise faster
- To have a better career
