The world is larger than I will ever fully understand because the amount of diversity and possibility within it is too great for any one person to ever fully soak in. Getting lost is one of life’s greatest opportunities and I highly recommend everyone take advantage of that as often as possible.
Observations after a week with an old iPhone 4 — Medium
Hardware bottom line: the iPhone 4 is a beautiful and fuctional piece of hardware that worked well as an everyday phone. It did 90% of what my iPhone 5s, and it performed those tasks pretty well.
What we believe in.
I want to get up early one more morning,
before sunrise. Before the birds, even.
I want to throw cold water on my face
and be at my work table
when the sky lightens and smoke
begins to rise from the chimneys
of the other houses.
I want to see the waves break
on this rocky beach, not just hear them
break as I did all night in my sleep.
I want to see again the ships
that pass through the Strait from every
seafaring country in the world—
old, dirty freighters just barely moving along,
and the swift new cargo vessels
painted every color under the sun
that cut the water as they pass.
I want to keep an eye out for them.
And for the little boat that plies
the water between the ships
and the pilot station near the lighthouse.
I want to see them take a man off the ship
and put another up on board.
I want to spend the day watching this happen
and reach my own conclusions.
I hate to seem greedy—have so much
to be thankful for already.
But I want to get up early one more morning, at least.
And go to my place with some coffee and wait.
Just wait, to see what’s going to happen.
Honored to be one of those interviewed for this.
This morning’s work, transcribing more things that matter off of the Internet.
The Internet is not a place I put my faith. Things there disappear, get buried under a hundred other things, get marked and never revisited, get changed when no one is looking.
If I want something to last for an age or two, I commit it to paper.
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.

Yep. This!
One of my most cherished memories was visiting and spending some time here during my honeymoon. The whole town aches with ancient beauty and wonder.
The Elements of Focus — A free video class by Shawn Blanc
Today, I want you to set out your clothes for tomorrow… Because you are making a commitment to yourself about what you’re going to wear tomorrow, and then, when you put that outfit on, you’re follow through with that commitment.
Gosh, I love the thinking behind this simple, yet powerful, idea from Shawn. Immediate adoption.
útilware • Finally got a chance to sit down and play with an Apple Pencil
I have finally found stylus nirvana. Head and shoulders above anything else I have ever used before.
Neat review (written and sketchnoted) of the Apple Pencil by one of my favorite artists.
