What is your routine?

I go to bed choosing one thing to accomplish the next day, I wake up to tackle this singular task. I tend to work only in the morning, get everything done before lunch. The afternoons, I spend mostly reading and learning things to help me solve the next day’s task. I usually wake up with the sun, and sleep soon after sunset.

Saving this for posterity, mostly for the reminder that it’s ok not to work all the time — since almost everything else in the Western world tells you that you should be.

Gestural view construction

Anything that makes us, our work, or our lives unique often makes today’s rigid software more frustrating to use. People deserve environments and tools which become more powerful, not more frustrating, as they learn what makes them and their lives more unique. People deserve environments which can evolve with them. People deserve the opportunity to introspect, and craft their digital environments to support their best.

This is the sort of thing I want to see out of computer and software companies these days — new paradigms. Maybe it’s happening inside of R&D labs, but it definitely isn’t happening — or at least being seen — as fast as top-down, controlled, walled gardens are.

I’ve long been on the lookout for a search engine that would let me filter out sites that I’ve found to be more noise than signal. After a little over a month of paid use, I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about Kagi.

I’ve been hearing more and more about Kagi lately and definitely like the idea of paying for a service rather than being the good that is sold.
