  • I’m not too familiar with those. Top of my head reaction to Googling them just now is that I can’t stop feeling there’s something a little sneaky about them. “What? these totally normal looking yet suspiciously thick sunglasses? No no no… I’m totally not filming you right now”.

    I think if it’s a VR contraption then it needs to be honest about it which is why the Beyond 2 seem to be going in the right direction. I just re-watched a review of the B2 and saw that it only weighs 110g (less than a peach) which is so much less than the Apple Vision Pro at 600g. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on how the VR industry decides to compete with the B2.


  • VR will never become mass market until it no longer means wearing a big silly looking thing on your head. Source: Used to work for a game developer who tried (and like so many… failed) to make their own headset during the VR goldrush in the 90’s. Also around that time bought a Forte VFX (screaming headache and eyestrain) headset and can’t believe no one’s managed to shrink the technology down to a pair a glasses yet in any kind of successful way. Kind of excited by the Bigscreen Beyond 2 though. Still a long way to go. I think the test is simple. Can I wear your VR technology out in public (so no wires, tiny form factor, battery life on par with a smartphone) and not look like I want to be robbed immediately?

    Sorry for being so salty about this. It’s just bitterness from being a ridiculously early adopter lol


  • I find that my short term memory is directly connected to how inconvenient it would be to forget. It feels like my brain is basically trolling me “Ahaaa… you wanted to remember this didn’t you! Well, how about I block the memory and give you a vague sense of unease instead? Don’t worry, the minute you don’t need this information anymore, I’ll give it back to you” (laughs in Disney villain).






  • I just use 6 lists and I grab and move cards along them from left to right. My lists are very simple:

    Would be nice to do Need to do Doing today 🎉 Done today Completed in the last 4 weeks To be archived

    I only use 2 automation rules. One rule to move new cards to the top of the list I created them in and a second rule to automatically move cards along the last 3 lists depending on how long they’ve been there.

    It’s been life changing for me. I don’t get side-tracked anymore cos I can just dump whatever it is into one of the lists on my pc or my phone. It’s also really helpful that I can put a “Due by:” date that gradually changes from yellow to red as the deadline approaches.
