Sick and Annoyed

Medley — Tue, 18 May 2010 02:15:20 +0000

Pretty sick – so sick that I set down the laptop and just laid down and half-watched some tv (DVDs) today. So I also felt completely unproductive and lame. But: sick!

TheLittleGuy has been sick for a couple of weeks (cough, cold, ear infection) but slowly seems to be getting better. He apparently gave [...]

I’m pretty unhappy about several things at the moment, all of which fall under the general topic of “Things I’m not Getting Done.” One of those several things is related to my neglect of this here blog. A recurring theme here over the last decade, I must admit. Since it’s [...]

Inbox Hundreds

So I’m a big big talker about GTD and Inbox Zero and all the clever modern knowledge productivity hoo-hah. But, I have to confess, my gmail inbox, which is where my personal mail goes, has had hundreds of messages in it for years. At one point I did manage to set up some really aggressive [...]

Scott Berkun’s The Art of Project Management gets raves all over the place and I’ve had a copy (only partially-read) for awhile now in my ever-growing ToRead stack. I’ve also had a copy of his book The Myths of Innovation (much shorter and written in short snacky bits) floating around, too. And, in [...]

I’m still on my now nearly decade-long decluttering effort. At long last I think I am starting to see some clear space! Having the floors on two levels replaced this summer helped. Everything moved out of each room on those levels that was anywhere near the floor. Now, a bunch of that stuff [...]

Life Updates

Medley — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:42:41 +0000

A few updates:

On the home front: We are having the floors on the top two floors of our townhouse completely replaced. It is a huge project trying to get ready. Everything will have to be moved out of each room. So we’re trying to purge as much stuff as we can and move stuff we’re [...]

Cover of Europe: A History

I’ve written a version of this post at least half a dozen times, but here we go again..

We need to get rid of some more books in our house. We’re having new floors put in on the main level and the upstairs in a few weeks, which means that [...]
