Great video by Stephen Hackett, Why I Use Paper Notebooks in 2018. I’ll throw a plug out for Word. notebooks, another pocket notebook. I like the pre-made bullets:
Uses this is “a collection of nerdy interviews asking people from all walks of life what they use to get the job done.” Very interesting to see how other people work.
If your math works out like ours, you’ll end up with about one hour and 12 minutes a day for focused, productive work.
Oh, that’s depressing.
🎵 My good friend Steve makes awesome loops and beats. Like this one that uses a sample from a Greatful Dead song. Enjoy!

GIjoe365 is an art project by Chris Hemsworth who decided to draw the great 80s GI Joe action figures (example above). Super fun nostalgia trip!
Beth Dean’s home page is pure retro fun.
Huh, soup.io is still around.
Arron Reynolds (the creator of awesome Twitters like @swear_trek) tells the story of declaring his social media accounts when he visited America:

He loves these

I got a peak at a dead mall in my town today. Creepy. One of the creators of the Blair Witch wanted to film a movie in the mall, but I don’t think it went anywhere. Bonus link: a drone’s eye view of the mall.
Muzzle’s landing page is pretty funny.
The Panobook is a paneramic notebook for your desk. Backed. Also, I have a notebook problem.
I highly recommend doing “quick Twitter”
Anyone out there try to get their Pinboard rss feeds into micro.blog?
I really like The Case Study Club, but it acts like a link farm for Medium. 11 out of 12 case studies on the site’s homepage are links to Medium articles. That’s not a dig at CSC, more of an example of the current state of web publishing.
40 Years of Hip Hop — That. Was. Awesome (said in Chris Farley fanboy voice).
