Great afternoon of golf with the wee guy. Already working on some changes to his grip and swing and getting ready for the start of the season. He’ll be taking money off his brother soon!

Still waiting to be added to the rollout of Hey’s new calendar app. It will be nice to have my email and calendar side by side.

I’ve read differing opinions on the Clicks for iPhone keyboard. I’m divided on the device. I can’t see it lasting long, given that iPhone sizes and shapes usually change. As a user of the Google G1 smartphone, though, I like the idea of a physical keyboard.

Having one of those weeks at work, I’m still stuck on the same issue I started the week with. Made some progress with other tasks, but not this one in particular.

This is a good reminder by Nicholas Bate of the power of a list.

The list remains the most powerful task management tool: a simple, accessible and visible flight deck. One thing: use it not only to capture what you have to do but also what you wish to do. Don’t simply be reactive; be proactive.

Terry Pratchett’s “A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories”, is a hilarious read so far. Also a good book to kick start my reading for 2024. Starting the year with a couple of shorter books just to get going.

Why can’t every New Year’s Eve fall on an NFL game day? It’s much more entertaining than the usual drivel you see on the telly on New Year’s Eve.
