In this recent post at the 37signals blog, they have a great excerpt about finding one's own schedule to maximize the creativity flow. Great info, sadly not many have the ability to implement these techniques.

Failing

If you read my last blog post, you know I said I was going to write everyday from now on.  Unfortunately, that was a couple of days ago, and as you can see I didn't stick to my statement. I forgot.  Really, after I posted that, I didn't remember to write another blog the next day.  As I'm writing this, I realize I need to set the time apart to blog in my calendar — with reminders and everything! The goal is to learn and practice to write my thoughts out, but if I don't do it, then I won't really get to do what this. It's not easy having a clear thought of what each blog post should be about, and I'm pretty confident you can find a lot of similar posts around the internet that can back this up. What am I doing right now? Looking at domains from namecheap.com - they're really cheap!  I want to move some of my domains over and try them out as well as perhaps register a new domain to host my new projects that I can only hope one day will come into fruiti

Today, or tonight really, I'm taking the first step in a new direction that will force me to write something here daily. I really want to keep my word this time, I will begin by writing my about page, as a quick intro so anyone who wonders here one day, might care to know who I am or who I was. Also, who knows, maybe my children will read this one day and wonder just what the heck I was thinking. Live and let live.

The Apple Effect

Why, as I sit here typing this post, have I been itching to get an Apple computer? More specifically, a MacBook Pro laptop. I already have a laptop, provided by work, and a home desktop that is close to 4 years of age but works fine, yet I am here fiddling with the options on the Apple.com web store dreaming about hitting that "Check out now" button with what I think is a decent and conservative configuration. Why do I and so many others want to jump on the Apple bus so badly? Could it possibly be that much better, or are we just being played by excellent marketing tactics and pressure for items that provide social status? What can I do on an Apple computer that I can't do on my current Windows XP machines? Or is it not what I can do, but how easily? And does that really merit spending over a grand (unless you choose the Mac Mini) for an Apple setup? I'll follow up later, but I would like to know what you think.
