I wrote it myself. You're more than welcome to have the code if you want it (it's pretty simple!!). The quarters are like new year's resolutions - but easier to stick to because it's only 12 weeks. The plugin is just a v

Daily stuff, I use breeze.pm, which is a bit like Trello except has swimlanes. For current stuff I have a board separated into three swimlanes - client work, my work and personal. These are separated in columns - this week, today, doing, bl

Only done it once, but I downloaded a HQ version of the picture I wanted and had it printed at a local printer. Was super high quality paper and good ink. Cost me about £7/$10 for a decent size, and I grabbed a frame off Amazon.

Jon Ronson's "The Butterfly Effect" covers this quite well. It's free on iTunes and quite an entertaining listen. http://www.jonronson.com/butterfly.html

I see and work on a lot of content marketing pieces. This is an example of content marketing executed _reeeeallyy_ well. Massive props to Boss As A Service.

Totally my opinion and anecdotally, but up and down. Certainly with Nike sometimes a win, sometimes you're like "really?" Vans and Chucks seem consistently similar - I wear through a pair in about 8 months, I buy a new pair.

Some stuff is pretty timeless. Especially with sneakers. Vans, Chucks, Air Max, Superstars - all remained in fashion (and sometimes on trend) for the last 20+ years.

CDBs are the only shoes I've ever worn through the sole of. I wore them the great regularity for 2 years. Rest of the shoe is still fine. Clarks are definitely worth the extra cash. That said, those crepe soles are like ice skates in t

Yes, and more retailers would size consistently based on this fact. There was a pair of jeans that fit me perfectly in GAP, for instance. I wore through two pairs of them (and at £39 quid they weren't worth getting repaired). The third

For online payments, Revolut have done something similar, I think: https://blog.revolut.com/introducing-disposable-virtual-card... -- I get what they're doing, it's just the stuff I'm mostly likely to get cau

Was going to post this as well! I'm 10 weeks in and feeling great. Continuing to work out as before and lost almost 8kg (10% of my starting body weight). A bit hard getting start, but easy to roll when you're going.

Didn't realise it expires [sigh]. The rest of my packets are probably useless then. That said, I happily repaired a macbook charger at both ends, so the 10 or so quid I spent on it works out far cheaper than a £60 charger.

Love BitBar. It's SO easy to create little widgets in the menu bar. Have my own countdowns for days in the quarter etc.

I'm 6 weeks into a keto diet, haven't been over 20g of carbs a day throughout. Sleep is much deeper, but I feel I need to sleep longer. First few weeks (in particular) I had to drop my weight amounts in the gym and found (fighting

Always thought this would be an amazing idea for housing in places like London. Make transport free and regular (as in runs all night) between the centre and the far cheaper to live satellite towns and cities and (young) people (especially)

Bonfire of the Vanities. It's a wonderful book. But I'll second pretty much any of the other recommendations here as well. He's wonderful author.

TV (albeit adult TV) is much better at this. Many of the most popular shows feature antiheroes/flawed characters. You know what they're doing is bad/wrong and yet you're rooting for them anyway. Ironically I'm not s

Yeah, I feel you. Used to read a huge amount. Found myself zoning out and reaching for my phone to check (ironically) HN, or my email. Solved by turning my phone off and leaving it in another room. Checking it becomes more effort than not c

Do this. Look for clients that regularly run banner ads or similar (or offer services / run ads yourself based on that offering). Offer X amount of time, or up to X ads per month - whatever is fair for your price. Some clients will use

Devil's advocate after 10 seconds of thought. Is this _really_ a bad thing for the users? I mean, you don't have to follow accounts you don't enjoy following. Just black and yellow squares? Don't follow it. If you enjoy
