Finding what's forgotten.
When Jen asked me to pick up cheese for burgers tonight, it wasn’t on my mind at all.
At some point, I was inspired. Perhaps Scott and Dave‘s quest finally got to me.
Before I knew it, there was two slices of medium cheddar between two quarter pound patties squeezed together and slapped on the grill. Yep. Despite being in NE Minneapolis – we was grilling up Juicy Lucys.
Yeah, tasty. Best way to have meat and cheese and cheese and meat.
Definitely worth an ongoing quest.
The Work Better Weblog is 2 years old this month. To celebrate, I’m starting an experiment in multi-author business blogs, community-building, and transparency – each Working Pathways client gets posting access.
That’s right – if you’ve hired Working Pathways, you automatically receive a login and password to publish whatever you’d like to the Work Better Weblog.
As I stated in the invitation email:
“Post anything you’d like. Yes, anything – your thoughts on the internet, work process, whatever’s on your mind, even about working with me, and this experiment. Everything’s fair game.”
The first batch of invitations has gone out.
There’s a good chance there’ll be some new voices here in the coming months. Keep an eye on the by-line.
Just me today to kicking off the new year with a new mic – Sennheiser e816S, a simplified production process, and a glass of Armagnac.
Things on my mind:

Fresh off the Sony rootkit fiasco, EMI/Virgin Records has commanded that no one listen to the new Coldplay album – but they won’t tell you that until after you’ve given them money.

From what I can tell, the album is available from within the iTunes Music Store – seemingly defeating all those restrictions. Wondering if ‘digital booklet’ is the same list of warnings.
Phew, good thing it wasn’t on my shopping list.
While getting a few things done this holiday season I paid special attention to what was keeping me from staying focused, on-task. To kick this year off right, I’ve made some dramatic changes to my OS X desktop.
From the menu bar, I’ve removed applications that change just enough to distract me. Including:
In addition, I’ve removed all the applications from my dock and ‘turned automatic hiding on’.
All of these small changes make the PowerBook a quieter place to work.
Update 6 Jan 2006: Sam asked for a screenshot of the menu bar
