Getting to those things you're going to do
Posted by at 1:24 PM

You're a geek. You're out of work. You have a long, long list of Things to Do, things you promised you would do because, well, you finally have that well-earned free time you've been hankering for. But somehow things like: Switching back from PC to Mac, learning Java, reading more non-fiction, cleaning the gutters -- end up being pushed shamelessly onto the list of Things You'll Do Next Year. Then to add to the distractions, O'Reilly, publisher of fine technology how-to books, puts out their non-gadget oriented, new quarterly glossy, Make and things like "Hacking your Car Key Remote" or "Kite Aerial Photography -- taking pictures with a camera suspended from a kite" take on a whole new priority...
