Tricking myself into being awesome

May 8, 2012 by alexkaloostian 1 Comment

I’ve been trying to keep a low profile on this blog, and only post articles of relevancy, of substance. I don’t want to flood people with meaningless stuff- that’s what the rest of the web is for. But I’ve also been at a loss for good content, and perhaps neglecting you more than I should.

I’ve been inspired by Chris Strom’s blog post on Lifehacker, 366 Days, or How I Tricked Myself Into Being Awesome. In one year, Chris wrote three books on topics he had not even been an expert in. If he can do that, I should be able to write TWO books on things I DO know, right?

So over the next few weeks I’m going to do my best to post more here. Not every day, but I am making a commitment of at least 3 posts a week, on 2 topics, and hopefully at the end of the year I’ll be able to collect all that stuff together into some sort of e-book.

The topics are something I hope many of you will find useful, and I’ll tag them so you can follow or ignore them at your choice. The topics will be Learning The Mac Command Line and iPads For Kids.

Even more than usual, I will be hoping all of you will comment, feedback and ask questions so that this can be a living, evolving project. Wish me luck!
