Every time I join a new team, I go to the next fresh page, and on top of that page I write: “WTF – [Team Name].” Then I make a note every time I run into something that makes me go “wtf,” and a task every time I come up with something I want to change.
This is brilliant.
I have a similar thing I do from time to time with building a list of things that need to get done around the house. I go to each room, sit down, and simply ask myself, “What’s broken?”
Results in a pretty comprehensive actionable list.
Some remembrances of my friend Charles Edge. I’m still more than a bit in shock over the loss. They capture him well…
Take Control Author Charles Edge Dies – TidBITS
Thank You For Everything, Charles – Cannonball
And a memorial page:
I’m usually pretty OK with death, as it is a part of life.
Some, though… Oof!
Just found out Charles Edge, an associate I’ve known for over 20 years, passed away Friday night.
It’s going to be a rough one.
costs – The Homebound Symphony
Every choice — every choice ever made by every human being — carries costs. Some of the costs are easily borne; some, though, are unmanageable, or even catastrophic.
This. So much this.
Also, what’s the plan? I know you want what you want, but just stomping one’s feet and demanding it is not enough. Where’s the plan to get it?
Free. 24h. Amazon Kindle. Great reads. – Nicholas Bate
I’m finally getting around to reading Meet Molly right now. Good so far.
My wife picked this up at a charity book sale today and I have… questions.
Review: The Boox Palma is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time – cliophate.wtf
It is, after all, just a phone-sized Kindle with access to an Android store that costs $299. What I didn’t expect is that this is precisely what makes it such a fantastic device. A few weeks in, it has become the device I use the most day by day—yes, even more than my phone.
A phone-shaped eBook reader is very compelling.
The Strother School of Radical Attention
Through creative projects, courses on the history, philosophy, and politics of attention, and experiential Attention Lab workshops, we fashion and collectively implement tools to reclaim radical attention, and thereby protect and cultivate the many goods of shared life that it creates.
A representative of this organization was invited to my daughter’s school by the parent association for a couple of workshops this week. Really interesting initiative.
