    I even created my own daily journal template using Figma last night. I based it on my time-budgeting approach, and left plenty of room for bullet journaling so I can get stuff out of my head and keep myself from getting distracted during the oh-so-important deep work timeblock.

    Also, I love that I got to add a little Novatorius logo and “You Got This” to the bottom.

    I bought a Boox e-ink tablet for bullet journaling, and reading. really loving it so-far. My mind buzzes with RSS feed to ChatGPT to Instapaper Zaps that allow me to create my own curated, and reported newspaper with original links. Another weekend project, it seems.

    I’m not confident I can top this setup. It’s basically a wood board on my recliner with a controller, keyboard, portable monitor, all hooked up to my handheld. Basically a Nintendo Switch, but way better.

    The biggest thing that AI is changing for me? I want EVERYTHING as a markdown file. It’s portable, easy to read, easy to enhance, and easy to parse, both for me and AI.

    Heck, even creating an index of the content is easier than ever with things like ChromaDB.

    The iPhone Promised to Empower Us. Here’s How I Made That Promise Real

    We were promised a tool that would make life better, but my iPhone became a constant distraction instead. The promise wasn’t a lie, it just takes effort to make it real. I set new rules, rewired my habits, and took back control—here’s how I did it.

    It is ready to print! The final overall dimensions is about 13″ tall x 5.5″ wide x 11″ deep. If I would have splurged on a mini ATX motherboard I could have made it a lot smaller – probably 8″tall x 5.5″ wide x 8″ deep. But I wanted WiFi 6 and more for less money 😂.

    I scrapped my entire media center build design and started over. After doing some research, I got some ideas for a much better design approach that makes it easier to assemble, maintain, modify, and print.

    I started over in FFXIV last night. I needed a game that didn’t feel like another project. Something that took me on a journey.

    And I couldn’t resist creating an emo Lalafell named Adam Smoltier. 🤣

    I’m gonna say the thing out loud – Most affiliate programs suck.

    People hype them as money-printing machines, but most just drain resources, waste time, and barely boost sales.

    There’s a better way.

    I’ve come to find that telling AI to “stop being clever and just say the damn thing” seems to be very effective at getting better heading copy 😂
