👋 I'm Joe Buhlig. I strive to build productivity systems that stand the test of time and help me do more than check boxes. I'm here to help you do the same.
🎙 I read a lot of books and talk about it.
🐿 I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
📓 And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! 🎉

I keep seeing articles about people moving away from TextExpander to Alfred or some other system. It doesn't add up to me. @TextExpander is just way better at it than anyone else.

Anybody have first-hand experience with one of these? I'm still on an old-school trifold. My biggest need is two cash slots.

Started a new book last night. Maybe I’ll be a little more tolerable when I’m done with this one. 🐷

I have got to stop looking at these. 🤦
“What Is EDC?: The Beginner's Guide to Everyday Carry” by @bernardcapulong
Everyday Carry is a blanket term to describe items you carry with you at all times. But what exactly are EDC essentials and how can they help you?
Another reason I'm considering a move to @ProtonMail:
I've been using @ProtonVPN for about four months now and loving the service. And I get the feeling I can trust them with my data, which is more than I can say for most others.
I STILL don't own a Pi in any form. It's likely time I change that. But my sense is that I should have a legitimate purpose for it before I buy in. Thus, I'll keep collecting bad ideas. https://twitter.com/Raspberry_Pi/status/1143036104314118144

Do people really want strangers going inside their house like this? It seems wrong on so many fronts. https://twitter.com/torproject/status/1143143235767939072
Nice! This takes us another step closer to being able to go iPad only in web development. Well done! 👏 https://twitter.com/WorkingCopyApp/status/1144182679249784832

It’s amazing how a great notebook makes me want to write things down. Thanks, @Leuchtturm1917.
I've wanted to post pictures of @bookwormfm listener libraries for a while now.
So I set up an instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/bookworm.fm/
And I set up an email: libraries@bookworm.fm
Send us your pic and your Instagram username and we'll tag you in the post. 😉
Talk about a list. It's like a comprehensive gathering of the heavy hitting methodologies.

If you don’t want this to happen, uncheck that checkbox in System Prefs.
Pass this along.
