Wake up early.
Avoid distractions.
Work three to five hours a day and then enjoy the rest of the day.
Be as perfectionist as you can, knowing that imperfection will still rule.
Have the confidence to be magical and stretch the boundaries of your medium.
Combine the tools of the medium itself with the message you want to convey.
Don’t get stuck in the same rut – move forward, experiment, but with the confidence built up over experience.
I've had this noted down since 2012. Not my own, but

I've been wondering about my desk lately, and its purpose. There has also been a fundamental shift for myself on how I think about computers too — what even is a computer these days?
Do I have to always sit at my desk? Why does the desk dominate the room with a screen on it, always visible?
Should I get a smaller desk? Maybe I can sit on a cushion on the floor where my desk sits now. Perhaps a standing desk, because I don't like being stationary for too long. But no, that is also a desk.

Today I turn 40.
I'm the healthiest, fittest and happiest I have ever been in my life.
I've been married for 15 years, have an amazing, and hot, wife and a beautiful daughter. I couldn't ask for more!
I have a handful of very good friends and it's more I could ever ask for.
My life is just beginning!
✌️❤️

The past few months I had to take a hard look into reworking website uptime monitoring for Tinylytics — which has been working great with updown.io for some very long time now. I don't have anything against Updown, however I had some very niche edge cases that I wanted to tackle. So I've built my own that fits my own use case. I don't want to step on his toes — Adrien, the founder, has been nothing but fantastic over so many years I've

In the last few weeks I've been taking care of a lot of things. All personal in nature. Mostly good, but it took time away from what I usually do.
This has been necessary to keep going with what I do, and where I want to go, for the foreseeable future. Next week is my birthday... and a significant milestone for me as I worked through things the last few months.
There are a great many things happening behind the scenes of everyday life that I don't ever share. An internal retreat, quiet,

There seems to have been quite an influx of "ship or die" mentality across the tech industry, even just around my own circles — or the circle that do similar things to me. Feature after feature, after... feature — and not to mention ruthless feature copying because "why not" — another thing to put on your homepage — so easy.
I've been having some back and forth conversations with a few people on this topic throughout the last months, and also a lot of internal dialog on the matter. A recent

The other week, I published a post I shouldn't have "Keep Moving Forward" — about how I felt inside with blogging and in general. Some of you read this. Whilst I wanted to make an excuse that I didn't mean to write that, I kind of did — I left it up for less than 12 hours and then reverted my whole blog to nothingness. Silence is golden.
So, I'm going to see what happens this year — thoughts to digital bits, a stream of consciousness.
Anyway, I'd like to give this another try, mainly to let

I've been super fortunate to be able to use an Android phone (Pixel) for the past few months, mainly for app testing, and improving, the Micro.blog apps.
Switching to Android has been a breath of fresh air. It's different. It actually does a lot of things I like, and I love it for the fact that it, in some way, does feel a bit more personal than your "normal" and well-polished SpongeBob (iOS) — if you know the episode where SpongeBob turns normal
