This seems like a bad idea for so many reasons. What happens when there's a jailbreak available? http://www.sfchronicle.com/business/amp/Startup-plans-digital-license-plates-10841233.php

16: The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande – Bookworm
Mike loves his coffee and he’s trying to drag Joe along. But that still doesn’t stop them from talking checklists and the power they hold. Ruby Coffee Roasters Bitsbox –...
New Years Eve + little kids = normal bed time
I'll welcome the new year in the morning.
Goodnight all. 😴

Top Five Books From 2016
In the past I've wanted to be a reader and yet never picked up a book. But that changed when I said yes to Bookworm. Since then I've read 16 books for Bookworm and four more on my own. And I'm on pace to read three more by year's end.
An incredibly detailed guide on OmniFocus, GTD, and the 500+ app connections from @Zapier, by Zapier: https://inside.omnifocus.com/collected/zapier-guide-to-omnifocus
I finally made some long overdue updates to my Now site. Added it to my Monthly Review. 😉 http://now.joebuhlig.com/
New on the blog: Time Tracker With Running Status http://joebuhlig.com/time-tracker-with-running-status/
Time Tracker With Running Status
I've been tracking where I spend my time for a while now. In the majority of cases it has been purely for personal use and decision-making, but since I have now taken a part time IT position, I need to know exactly how many hours I spend on the job and calculate whether or not I've met my expected quota for the week.
Did @IFTTT really pull the ability to share/embed a recipe/applet? That seems like a huge miss on user experience.
Sometimes I get excited when I see this list. Makes me want to block off the day and just read. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/806476667317264385
This was an enlightening listener recommendation. I didn't fully realize my interest in the brain until this book. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/806474258364895233
15: BrainChains by Theo Compernolle – Bookworm
BrainChains was a listener recommendation that taught Mike and Joe a lot about how technology affects our minds. From attention to focus, it’s all covered. Zencastr 14: The 12 Week...
Since I'm obsessed with page load speeds lately, I set up a Cloudfront CDN for @jekyllrb but without an S3 bucket. http://joebuhlig.com/using-a-cloudfront-cdn-for-jekyll-without-s3/
Using a Cloudfront CDN for Jekyll Without S3
On occasion I find myself with a sliver of free time. And it seems inevitable that I use it to tinker with this site. Given my latest obsession with page load speeds, this time I directed my attention towards the implementation of a CDN.
I have a baby coming soon, which means it's time for a checklist. http://joebuhlig.com/a-baby-time-checklist/
A Baby Time Checklist
As I write this, my wife and I are expecting our third baby girl to join us within the next week. I wish I could say there is nothing but pure excitement in our house, but as anyone who has kids knows, there are a number of things to do once you know it is "time." Depending on your situation, which you can't predetermine, you may not have much time to accomplish everything and get out the door, so most of us put together a checklist to help us remember.
Turns out you can make @alfredapp more personal by setting up custom web searches. http://joebuhlig.com/creating-custom-web-searches-in-alfred/
Creating Custom Web Searches in Alfred
Searching is one of the most technically complicated processes to build and yet the simplest to use. And it's almost universally accepted that every website has a way to search the entirety of their content. Connect this with the ability to search websites directly from Alfred and you can create a one-stop shop for searching all your favorite sites.
Here's a glimpse at how I'm using @discourse for IT. http://joebuhlig.com/using-discourse-for-it/
Using Discourse for IT
I'm a fan of Discourse. That should come without surprise at this point. As a fan, it's natural for me to see the potential for Discourse to solve communication problems and create selective visibility within an organization. So it was easy for me to gravitate toward it for the IT communication structure at my church.

Hybrid Productivity
There's a common misconception in the productivity world that when you develop a new process or system it needs to be entirely digital or entirely analog. Or the more common version of this dilemma: to work toward the use of a single database for your tasks. That may be nice, but it's far from necessary.
