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.
