A mantra I like to repeat whenever possible.

Chromecast weirdness. Rather beautiful.

Hey guys ran an alien from the 1978 Atari game Space Invaders. David said I should make the post funny but I got nothing. When I’m sad and I need a chuckle I think about Kim Kardashian with the shits. (at Inner Sunset (the sets))

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.

The basic idea goes that you have to satisfy those at the bottom before the top: if you’re freezing cold and hungry, you’re not giving much thought to the joy mastering new skills. Not terribly robust. But interesting and somewhat clarifying.

Day 3: Smartphone. ET phone home.

I have to say, I'm very surprised by Samsung's turn around on getting my phone fixed. I sent it on the Tuesday, got a text on the Thursday, received the phone back on the Friday*.

My life's work I had planned blogging about living without a smartphone has have been shorten to a short story. A little like my attention span to reality now I'm connected again.

* Eat that Craig David.

When spotting the most obvious bug immediately after release, that somehow escaped QA's attention.

2 days to go until our next product launch. I hope this doesn't happen.

Day 2: No smartphone. Morning Surprise.

On the average morning I awaken to the sounds of my wife browsing Pinterest for the latest visual treats on her iPhone. Not being able to complete with such beauty- I generally resort to waking the brain up with some light tech news, checking emails, skimming RSS feeds and judging the great social waffle stream on my own device.

However, this morning was the first for 2yrs with no smartphone. 

Little moments like this make me realise how addicted I have become to this evil device, and going cold turkey sucks.
