I’ve been trying to get on a more regular schedule. I say trying because it’s not happening with any level of success. Change is hard. It’s even harder when it’s built upon years of habit. I’ve read most of the famous books about habits, and I understand the principles. I heard recently that habits are like creases in paper.

It’s not all bad, I’ve been doing these link posts for over 8 years… and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is quality so rare?
<\/a>The modern world has made huge advances in knowledge, technology, and skill. We can build faster than ever. We know more than ever. Yet quality still feels so rare. So many things feel unfinished, broken, or forgettable \u2013 why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twiddling Bits with Susan Kare \u2014 First of Kind
