Routines are a necessary and valuable part of getting stuff done with as little friction as possible. However, I try to avoid routines for the most part. I find that they make life feel monotonous and stifle creativity. The routines I do keep, I find fulfilling and enjoyable. They also give me piece of mind when all is said and done. I thought I’d share a few of my routines that involve my iPad and Mac.
Seriously, I need to rethink my iPad dock before OmniOutliner comes out for iPad. I know it's immediately getting a place of honor.

This post is a bit of a departure, but bear with me since I think it has relevance to the Tech sector.
The WSJ is reporting on federal efforts to oust the CEO of Forest Labs after the company was found to be responsible for marketing violations (I'd rather not get into a discussion of the specifics or of Pharma in general. This is just an example). The efforts simply amount to barring the CEO from doing business with the Federal Government (i.
A recent post by Marco Arment perfectly frames a problem I see with technology workers: artificial titles intended to divert attention. What exactly is a Social Media Expert? I also see the titles Journalist, Engineer and Knowledge Worker thrown around rather freely. This isn’t directed at particular individuals are careers.

If you write in Markdown then you are well acquainted with the idea of alternative convenience tags. For example, creating links in-line or by reference. You can also create headings with just leading hash symbols ('#') or by enclosing the text in matching hashes. One convenience option I regularly take advantage of is the un-ordered list tag. In Markdown, both the asterisk ('*') and the dash ('-') symbols can be used for indicating un-ordered list items.
I think it’s worth waiting for an official response from Apple. I’m guessing this will turn out to be accurate.
Remember when everyone was naming their tablet PC’s “slates” because it was rumored that Apple was naming their yet announced tablet the “iSlate”. Yeah, that was fun. Now it’s a land slide of “Pads."
I went dark sometime ago and there’s been a lot going on in the Apple world. Something tells me this has all been covered VERY well by the many mac pundits on the web. I think I’ll try to focus on tips, tricks and reviews. Maybe the occasional rant.
I will readily admit that I am paranoid about my digital life. My Mac has enough personal information on it that a genetic clone with my login password could completely replace me in my everyday life. I've talked about this concern previously.
I've gotten pretty smart about encrypting the really serious stuff. My method of choice happens to be Knox. But I started thinking about the unlikely event that someone might get my password and open the encrypted file.
I was watching the Guy Kawasaki presentation from Gnomedex (you can find it on the Chris Perillo podcast at live.pirillo.com). He was railing against the misplaced focus on corporate mission statements. He highlights a hilarious website for generating mission statements which I never knew existed. It can be found at the Dilbert site.
