I’ve recently been looking at ways to boost my productivity. I want to get more done in less time, so I have more free time for family and other things. Well, today I’m going to show you some of the improvements. Watch the video to see my new and improved AmigaOS graphics driver development system […]
Last week I released a video titled “Windows 10 Killed my Productivity.” While true, this week I’m calling myself out on it. That’s because I was effectively blaming Microsoft for my troubles. Yes, I was making myself “the victim.”There seems to be a fad (epidemic, really) of wanting to be the victim. That way us […]

In a previous video I recommended using deadlines to keep your project on track, and making sure that they’re realistic deadlines (or target-dates, if deadlines are too scary). But, how do you come up with “realistic deadlines?” In truth, any estimate for how long a project will take is always just that: an estimate. It’s […]
Lately I’ve received an increase in queries about the DIY Mini-ITX laptop project that I was working on. Some assume that the project is dead. It’s not; it’s just sleeping. See the video above for details.DIY Laptop Project?If you missed it, I demonstrated a battery powered Mini-ITX machine end of 2017, and announced plans to […]
