I have vivid memories of the demos at Incredible Universe, including an early-stage VR setup. It's also the place I was able to try out crappy consoles like the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO Interactive.
I figured I'd see Quinn's name mentioned in the comments. He had a good Twitter thread a bit ago about the easiest things you can do to lower your bill:
Happy Metropolitan user here too. I bought a couple other inexpensive fountain pens to try them out (Lamy Safari, Pilot Prera Iro-Ai), but I came back to the Metropolitan. The weight and writing-smoothness are outstanding considering how cheap it is.
Yes. He can put actions behind his words, or his reply is just hot air.
Plus, by endorsing it as a Google-sanctioned event, he's effectively taking power away from those walking out from disrupting normal business as usual (e.g., allowing managers to reschedule meetings).
"If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do."
You can choose to either vote by mailing your ballot back in the provided, pre-paid envelope, or dropping it off. I usually end up waiting until the last minute and then driving to a nearby public library to drop it off.
Coincidently, 1998 was the first year I could vote, and the first year of vote by mail in Oregon. It's made it super-easy to vote, and I honestly have no idea why other states haven't adopted it across the board.
Ah, that's the kicker. Looks great on my MBP's built-in retina display, but crap on my older external monitors. So far the only font I've been able to use on those without anti-aliasing is Monaco.
Can you detail your Mac setup a bit? I've tried out these fonts, but end up struggling to get the right size, and disabling antialiasing makes things look pretty ugly.
It's not a really long read, and it's worth reading it cover to cover, even if you don't follow its advice to the letter.
That said, essentially:
Keep a daily list of all the next actions you want to accomplish, separated by context (e.g., at work, at home, at grocery store)
Break down large projects into next actions. Identify the next thing you need to do to move it forward.
Review your projects and next actions weekly (or more often) to make sure you're not missing anything.
There's other stuff too, but mostly GTD recommends that you write everything down and review it often. Your lists are a way to offload the stuff in your head, so that you can focus on what's right in front of you and not have that nagging feeling that there's something you forgot to do or something more important you should be doing.
It definitely changed the way I approach my day at work, and I feel like I'm able to accomplish a lot more without feeling exhausted at the end of the week.
Be thankful you have that option. Comcast is the only real broadband provider in my area. My only option to avoid caps would be to switch to a Comcast Business account.
