Great idea - I have someone like this as one of my mentors: The VP of Devil’s Advocacy
One of my friends and mentors, who's not involved with our Nozbe business but is a Nozbe user is very often someone like this to me. He challenges me and looks at our product from a different standpoint. Good to have someone like this and talk to them every now and then.

Great analysis, so much info... and so true: A Candid Look at Unread's First Year
This is why Nozbe is a subscription service. This model works. For the customers, who get infinite updates and get value from the service every day (and a Nozbe 2.0 very soon as a free upgrade) and for us to keep the lights on and business sustainable, while charging people a cost of just two good cups of coffee per month. I'm so thankful to have amazing customers :-)

So true. So right. Do you agree? The best argument yet for net neutrality comes from Major League Baseball
The best argument yet for net ...
"Fast lanes would serve only one purpose: for Broadband ISPs to receive an economic windfall. American consumers would be worse off as the costs of fast lanes are passed along to them in new fees or charges where there were none, or higher fees or charges where they existed."
Can't say it better. So true. Can't see the world with Internet fast lanes. Good I'm not in the streaming business, but still, such a world scares me. What do you think?

Finally an "iWatch" idea that makes sense. What do you think? Withings Activit
Works with the iPhone without replacing it with some awkward screen... you charge it once a year, not once a day... I think they're on a great path here. An iWatch should be something that enhances your smartphone experience and not replaces it or duplicates it. Cool concept. Let's see what Apple comes up with.

I totally fall into this trap, do you? Check it out: "How was your bike ride?"
Seth's Blog: "How was your bik...
I love biking and running but very often I'm discouraged if I didn't beat my best record or didn't break past what I wanted to achieve... without really noticing I should be just enjoying this. I should be grateful.
Today I ran with my wife in the local forest. At a significantly lower pace than I would had I ran alone... but it was so great! I ran with my wife! Together! In a beautiful forest! I enjoyed it so much!
We treat these activity trackers as benchmark of our performance and it's a good thing... but as with everything, they shouldn't be the only benchmark there is.

Have you tried it? I think I might give it a shot: Tweetstorming – AVC
Interesting to use Twitter to blog. I'm going to try it and see how it goes. I'll see if this is something my followers will like. I think Fred's reasons to try it are pretty compelling.

Have you tried his #productivity techniques? Tim Ferriss Uses This Simple Productivity Hack To Organize His Days
Tim Ferriss Shares His Product...
I like what he's doing. It's similar to Leo Babauta's 3-rocks concept. You should have a few tasks you need to finish on this day to make sure you have a productive one.

Three of my closest friends already bought their FiveFingers and are trying them out. Both me and my wife are using them all of the time. Despite great controversy, I think they're worth it! My blog post explains why.

Totally great ad. I'm using Runkeeper for both running and cycling. I need to check out a new app for TRX training, get something for my swimming tracking needs and maybe use a dedicated cycling app. Any recommendations?

A great #iPadOnly story by @BenjaminBrooks: A Desk of iPad
Ben Brooks writes: "I recently wrote about how I often dream of wiping everything off my desk and just placing the iPad in the middle of it. It would sit there alone, surrounded by my expansive desk as a symbol of both simplicity, and how far (technologically) we have come since the early days of computing."
Having been in this place for the last two years, can't say I don't agree :-)

Don't do it. 'Cos you'll get addicted (video): ✔ Why doing sports regularly is so great and so important... and how it makes me feel! - Productive! Show #74
✔ Why doing sports regularly...
I recorded this video for my future self. I'm in the best shape of my life now and if I ever give up doing sports I need to watch this video. This will hopefully motivate me to get back to doing sports. It's so amazing how you feel after a good morning run :-)

Amazing to see the smartphone adoption curve. Has anyone expected this? Late late majority
I remember the iPhone launch. I was a Nokia Communicator user then. I was one of the few using a real smartphone. A smartphone was supposed only to be a "power-user" product. Well, not anymore. Great analysis here.
