  • The Information Diet

    During the first weekend of my information fast I read The Information Diet by Clay Johnson. I felt pretty sheepish when I came across this comment criticizing fasting: For most, I think this will yield an unsuccessful outcome. By the end of the fast, you’ll be so eager to plug back in that — like…

  • Information Fast

    The pledge: For the month of September I pledge to limit my media consumption. This means no Twitter, Google+, Path, Tumblr, Hacker News, Popurls , Intigi or Zite. It means no Apple blogs.

Slide 29: Iran: Territories Lost and Gained Slide 30: Iran: Territorial Changes…

  • The Unbucket list

    Sometimes you do momentous things, things that every man should do. But sometimes, you do things that you never thought you would do in your entire life. These are collectively known as your “Unbucket List.” Last weekend we built a deck. I have photographic evidence. We are computer programmers. Our delicate fingers and slim wrists…
