What I Carry In My Pockets

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

I carry too much stuff in my pockets. Every morning I joke that I’m “Putting Myself Together”. List stuff: wallet cell phone keys car key chapstick pen handkerchief Moleskine planner (occasionally) This might not seem like much, but it can certainly feel like it. Plus, I’ve subtracted a few things from this list: eraser (from [...]

When Was the Last Time You Drove Without the Radio On?

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Since I’m using my motorcycle as my main source of transportation I don’t listen to the radio anymore while commuting. I didn’t even notice is absence until one day I was listening to the radio at home and realized that I didn’t recognize a number of the songs. Since I only listen to one radio [...]

What Would Your 10 Things Be?

Friday, September 24th, 2010

I recently ran across this post that asked “If you could only have 10 things, what would they be?” This got me to wondering what my list would be, which I felt was interesting timing, considering I am taking on the 100 Thing Challenge. Note: I actually wrote and scheduled this about two weeks ago, [...]

Help Me Choose A New Theme

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

I’ve been working on a new theme (look) for the website. I started with the mnmlist theme by Leo Babauta. I added search, comments, and moved the sidebar to the right.

Crippling FaceBook

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

I’ve already Minimized Twitter, now it’s time to cripple FaceBook. Like Twitter, I think that FaceBook has its positive attributes, but I also think that it’s too easy to spend far too much time on there. And I want to spend less time on my computer. What I like about FaceBook Allows me to keep [...]

Packing for the “100 Thing Challenge”

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I’ve begun to pack things away for the “100 Thing Challenge”, and it’s interesting to see how it’s coming. Not the packing away part, that’s easy enough. The challenge is feeling like I have enough to cover the “what-if” questions that pop up while being realistic about the answers. For example, I continually worry that [...]

Progressive Dinner – Restaurant Version

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Who says you must eat your entire meal in one restaurant? Only the restaurant, who wants more of your money. Well, it’s time to break that “rule”. Sure, you might get some funny (or annoyed) looks when you order only a dessert. However, if that’s what the restaurant is best at, why not go just [...]

“100 Things” List
