Digital Patience

Has anyone noticed how impatient everyone is these days? I would describe it as ridiculous.

Just as an example, this morning I had some one write a blog post. At the moment of publishing, they assumed that this post should propagate itself across the internet through all feeds and caching. Did it appear in 5 seconds? No. Did it appear in less than a minute? Yes.

How about a little patience in the digital age?

Opinionated Software

Taken from Getting Real. It’s good advice.

“Some people argue software should be agnostic. They say it’s arrogant for developers to limit features or ignore feature requests. They say software should always be as flexible as possible.

We think that’s bullshit. The best software has a vision. The best software takes sides. When someone uses software, they’re not just looking for features, they’re looking for an approach. They’re looking for a vision. Decide what your vision is and run with it.

And remember, if they don’t like your vision there are plenty of other visions out there for people. Don’t go chasing people you’ll never make happy.”

Down with Jquery.Scrollable!

JQuery.Scrollable simply sucks. It never works right and it causes a ton of problems. If you want a real scrollable control, go get JCarousel.

Focus

God has given me a word for the new year: Focus.

So what will I focus on:

  1. Christ. Focusing on Christ will bring the rest of my life into the proper order and perspective
  2. Teaching. God made me to teach and I need to do this.

That’s my focus. I’m keeping it simple. If I don’t, I’ll fail.
