2012 Groundhog Resolution Days

noreply@blogger.com (Chris Denbow) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:43:00 +0000

This is the second year of my attempt at GHR. GHR is much like a New Years resolution but its starts a month later, on February 2nd. Why then?

Because January is too close to the Christmas holiday season. I need more than a week to recover from the gluttony and reveling. I can get a head start by skipping a month.

Every month I will be checking in with my progress. First check-in will be March 3 followed by April 4th, then May 5th. Check-in days will be consistent with that month. (3/3, 4/4, 5/5)

I want what everyone else wants. To make myself better. I am resolving to improve.

I won't go into details yet because that is what the updates are for.

Destroyed

Well, not entirely of course.
I just dropped self-hosting with Dreamhost and Wordpress and converted everything to Blogger instead.
The only thing I am paying for now is the domain name itself.

Google Chrome Notebook

I really want this Google specific operating system and computer.

I need to be liberated off of Linux, Windows, MS Office, etc.

Makes sense because I am completely embedded with Google, right?

Now, I just need the $

Consuming Fire

noreply@blogger.com (Chris Denbow) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:29:00 +0000

After two weeks of heavy usage, I can tell you that I am very pleased with my Kindle Fire from Amazon.
The 7" tablet is meager on the hardware side and a bit better on the software. I wanted a book/magazine reader, access to streaming media and playable apps.

Mission accomplished.

I do regret not getting a true Android tablet because I am embedded inside Google and their web applications. I wish I could easily sync my mail, feeds, and take advantage of the new Google Currents reader, etc.

Purchasing apps and content from Amazon is it's sole purpose and does serve me well.

For $200, this is a great starter tablet and it helps me minimize and organize my digital life.

Reboot

The term “reboot” means to discard much or even all previous continuity and start over with fresh ideas. It could also imply that I just wanted to scratch the whole thing and start over again. Previous posts (2005-2011) have been backed-up and shelved until I create an archive.
