Better

This article describes everything I am. I follow as much “tech punditry” as I can, as of now I have 2671 unread news items in my RSS reader (NetNewsWire), and I usually try to read them all. A testimant to that is how I found the above article; it sat as a tab in NNW for well over a month, waiting to be read. In the end, it all seems so pointless.

And, to be honest, I don’t have a specific agenda for what I want to do all that differently, apart from what I’m already trying to do every day:

  • identify and destroy small-return bullshit;
  • shut off anything that’s noisier than it is useful;
  • make brutally fast decisions about what I don’t need to be doing;
  • avoid anything that feels like fake sincerity (esp. where it may touch money);
  • demand personal focus on making good things;
  • put a handful of real people near the center of everything.

All I know right now is that I want to do all of it better. Everything better. Better, better.

Sounds like a good plan.
