Happy Holidays!

Christmas tree at DCA

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a fun, safe, and relaxing holiday season. Thanks for connecting with me online, and in person, and providing me some stable connections over this last year. It’s been quite a whirlwind, and I look forward to more adventures in 2015!

Though, hopefully, I figure out a way to manage my time a bit better. Changing jobs right before the holidays really put a dent in planning to create any gifts or anything for some of my closest friends this year, like I have before. Sorry about that!

Here’s hoping you and your family have a wonderful holiday and some great adventures in 2015 too!

    Linked: These 7 productivity “rules” are harmful, anti-scientific myths

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    But notice what is missing from all of this advice? Any actual science. Or, for that matter, any interviews with the thousands of people who actually do the same thing, and aren’t nearly as successful. Sure, maybe Jeff Bezos gets up every day at 5 AM, goes for a run, then schedules some deep-think time, all before he even checks email. Do you really think it you or I did that, that would make us as successful as Jeff Bezos? I guarantee you, his sleep schedule and morning routine is similar to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the world, who do not have lives that we would want to emulate. But we don’t read those stories, because no one cares.

    On the other hand, in order for a lot of these productivity hacks to have ant scientific fact behind them, we would have to look at those people and see how maybe it’s not the morning routine that makes Bezos worth a gazillion dollars, it was something else entirely.

    But then, those articles are much harder to write and would involve a lot more work, and even admit that you can’t hack your way to a billion dollars in success. We wouldn’t want to do anything like that, would we?

    While I was in Vegas recently for the ILTA conference, I decided that would be a good chance to take the new camera for a spin. Of course, with the conference going on all day, my only opportunity to get out of the hotel was in the evening. I will say, that I was very…

    Last night, the wife and I went by a public event at the LSU Manship School of Journalism which was billed a discussion of sports and public finance. The presenters and panel discussions around the economic and community aspects of having sports teams was quite interesting, and something I’ll probably be thinking about and writing…

    Looks like the fine folks who run the LexBlog service are also getting into the same Blog Aggregation service that the ABA Journal’s Blawg Directory has been in for a little while now, with the “soft” launch of LexMonitor today. I’ve been seeing some things on Kevin’s blog about the work being done on it,…

    It’s 2007 already?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Wow, another year has come and gone. Amazing. All in all, even though the end of 2006 kind of snuck up on me quickly, it was a very good year. In many ways, even though I actually changed jobs in 2005, 2006 was more of a transitive year in terms of my life on-line. This…
