π You should take more screenshots
by JamesIf you do any sort of creative digital work, screenshots and screen recordings are a great way to remember it.
That was part of the reason why I started writing archive pages for my projects a while back. I used to have screengrabs of my old Mac and Linux desktops floating about somewhere, too, for that extra nostalgia hit. They seem to have disappeared in the sands of time, however. Mostly Digital Blasphemy backgrounds with similar color themed xmms and friends running. -

π What if your website had business hours? β Bobbie Chen
by JamesWhile reviewing the draft, my friend Michael L. pointed out that while most websites are up all the time, some are not - for example, B&H Photo doesn't accept orders on Saturdays for religious reasons. So what if our software business had limited hours instead, like a physical-world store?
I really like this idea. A lot. More businesses should do this and help re-calibrate society to a slower pace of life. Β- Tagged with

Roadrunner
by JamesI first discovered Anthony Bourdain after graduated college when I first started work and living in Japan. I'd watch No Reservations in a tiny 1K apartment in Yokohama, not far from where I live now. His words, spoken on screen or in print, always left an impact. They encouraged me to explore the world around me.
Here was a man who got it. Be a traveler, not a tourist.
Each episode a new adventure. Each episode a reminder to be curious. He was β he is, a hero of mine.
Watching Roadrunner, you see a fuller picture of the man. His struggles, his pain, and the pain he caused others. You get a glimpse at happy moments, too. Tony being just a regular human. Having never met him, it sounds odd saying this, but you also get a sense of closure. His death makes more sense.
I highly recommend this film to any fan of Bourdain's.
