Ergonomic Laptop — Evan and Katelyn Back pain ends here. Evan and Katelyn · evanandkatelyn.com [1] This is such a cool idea, I tend to not use laptops at all because they are so uncomfortable I just wait till I’m back at my desk. This solves two main issues I have with laptops, the posture to use them is shit, the keyboards that come on them is not what I want to use. I’ve solved the latter with my own custom keyboard.

Weblogging: Part 1 The one where I blog about blogging (part 1) dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] Long live RSS! Rss is not dead David, you are right there. I really agree with David that learning a topic well enough to form thoughts and write about it really help learning. You don’t need to be an expert, but forming your own thoughts, putting ideas in words takes a lot more than surface level knowledge. When you try to write or speak about something you quickly realize where your holes in understanding are. Blogging helps me learn. When I commit knowledge to writing it reinforces what I know and shines a spotlight on what I don’t. Most topics require additional research. Even then, I occasionally get things wrong, or miss different ways of thinking, and I welcome corrections. I’ll often update and enrich my posts based on feedback. Without my blog I’d miss other points of view. As they say, the best way to get an answer on the internet is not to pose a question, but to assert the wrong solution! Most feedback I get is constructive. Sometimes it’s blunt but I try not to read into unspoken sentiment. Some people are more direct. If the end result is positive learning, I can ta...

Cotton Coder The one where I launch a new blog dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] I like Davids idea for cotton coder here, reminds me a lot of Thoughts [2], which turns out to be mroe commonly called a linkblog. I can relate to David heavily on gathering too many side projects and soem collecting more digital dust than you would really like them to. I use thoughts for quick publishing, very similar to David’s notes [3]. I have tags and titles, but the titles are a reflection of the post I’m taking a note on. They are short and sweet, I put just enough thought into them without overthinking them. They live as a separate server hosted website, but the data gets pulled into my blog at build time, so they end up in the same place eventually. Note This post is a thought [2].
