(not sure if this is even a valid word, but let’s go with it for now) I recently concluded my 3rd JoMO (Joy of Missing Out) week. More and more I’m finding that spending less time on the smartphone and social media is bringing tremendous value and quality of life (nothing new here, tons of… Continue reading De-smartphonifying

A review of several “free” head-tracking alternatives to use with Flight Simulator
My favorite way to play Flight Simulator(s) is by doing sightseeing, VFR trips. I’m not an airliner person. So Flight Simulator 2020 is perfect because there’s loads of detail and everything looks great! I’m loving the bush trips, and hope more will come soon! The downside of it, especially when using tail draggers, is that… Continue reading A review of several “free” head-tracking alternatives to use with Flight Simulator
How to play MS Flight Simulator 2020 on low-end laptops
I used to think my laptop was fairly okay-ish. That was until I started reading the rigs that people have to play FS2020. I’m not into gaming so that explains my total lack of awareness of what is a decent gaming laptop these days 🙂 Anyway, as a fan of flying since the great Flight… Continue reading How to play MS Flight Simulator 2020 on low-end laptops
A review of my JoMo week
I started my JoMo week on the 25th of June, and as I wrote on my initial post, I was planning to write on the blog my experience throughout the week. Well, no posts were made since then and now its the 20th of July. I guess that can say a lot about how it… Continue reading A review of my JoMo week
A Guide on re-creating Hey’s features
Following up on my last post “Why I loved Hey but it isn’t for me” here’s a short guide on bringing some of Hey’s features back into my email service. I’ll be demo-ing this using Fastmail because it’s my main email, so you will need to adapt somethings to your own app/service. Make sure to… Continue reading A Guide on re-creating Hey’s features
From FOMO to JOMO – an experimental week
I read Christina’s Crook book “The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World” some years back. Since then I did a couple of unplugged days/weekends. More recently I’ve been finding myself too stuck in the never ending loop of checking news(the good ones) and social media (even though I don’t use Facebook,… Continue reading From FOMO to JOMO – an experimental week
Loved Hey, but it’s not for me
Hey is full of refreshing ideas. I really enjoyed its launch especially because it got people talking about email again. I was really excited once my invite arrived and gave a good test to the web and mobile app. Hey brings to email what Ruby on Rails brought to webapp development: convention over configuration. See,… Continue reading Loved Hey, but it’s not for me
Always eat your own dog-food!
So a few days ago I decided to open registrations for my (still alpha/beta) service www.MyDaily.email in order to get feedback and better guide future features. This is a service inspired in Google Calendar’s 5am daily agenda, but instead of limiting it to send you a summary of events for the day/week, it lets you… Continue reading Always eat your own dog-food!
Starting a new SaaS side-project
They say you need to launch at least 10 products to be able to find some success. So here I am again, after a couple of failed attempts, starting a new side-project (details to follow soon). Starting a side-project at this time in my life is a bit crazy. Besides working on a full-time project… Continue reading Starting a new SaaS side-project
Resuming my fasting practice
When I first started practicing yoga and meditation, about 16 years ago, I also started a fasting practice. My spiritual master advised for a twice-a-month dry fasting method (unless health issues would justify not doing it that way). I’m not going into details of the method since it’s not the point of this post. I… Continue reading Resuming my fasting practice
