I have been looking for this link for a very long time! I thought it was taken down for whatever reason and kept kicking myself for not saving it. I think it's a very good read as we start a new year
Experience “ū—”: The Last Distraction-Free Writing Environment You’ll Buy. Today.
…
The Ourobouros Fun Factory, LLC is proud to announce a revolutionary new tool for serious artists doing serious work. It’s a distraction-free writing environment that we call “ū–” (pron. “YOOOoooouuuuu…”).
I’m planning on going to Homebrew Website Club Europe Meetup later today.
I don’t think I’ve got much to share at this point with my own projects, but it’ll be nice to see what others are into.
I was feeling a little overwhelmed and I took a couple minutes to write downs what I’m grateful for.
I hope that you find something good in your life today.
Really taking my time to come up with my next post.
Made pancakes this morning.
Happy New Years!!!
50. Write about a news event from when you were still in school and how it made you feel.
One news event that I haven't written about is the California Energy Crisis of 2000. It marked the first time that I heard the word deregulation and will always have negative connotations for me.
For me, I didn’t suffer too much as the occasional blackout only inconvienced me. For some, such as people connected to devices that needed constant power or were hit with rates that lead to financial instability, it was devastating.
In addition, it lead to a recall of the governor that lead to an absolute joke of a political race that still echos to this day.
49. Do you have a set of rules or guidelines for your life? Did you write them? Why do you use them?
One of the key guidelines that I’ve set for myself is that I treat people the way that I want to be treated. People should be treated with the respect and dignity of being a human being and an understanding that you will not know what their story in life is.
I know at one point it time, I wrote down a series of principles that I’ like to strive for in my day to day life. Unfortunately, it’s in a folder somewhere that I can’t find. I think I should start scheduling time to go over these things in the future.
I’m also getting back into using themes
in my life and recently [wrote about my desire to be more intentional.](Intention - Mandaris) How am I going to go about that? I haven’t quite planned, I have the concepts of a plan
.
I’m not balding, I have inconsistent hair.
48. Have you ever had a brush with celebrity? Write about It.
I once met Arj Barker after one of his comedy shows in Sacramento, CA. I used to follow him a little bit on twitter but haven’t looked into what he’s been doing since I stopped using the service.
It looks like he’s got a new comedy album, so I’ll queue that up for my drive to work.
