Making it happen vs. Letting it happen

from Jason Fried [alt+shift+b] in life

14th Nov 2024
Make it happen! You hear it a lot. And it's generally good advice, of course. At least the 'happen' part. You definitely want things to happen. But often times, it's the 'make' part that gets confused for progress. You can push a ball uphill, but should you? Not only does it take...

I was on Roosevelt Island a few weeks ago and got some nice pictures of the Queensboro Bridge. The Queensboro is an outlier among New York City’s bridges in several ways: it’s a cantilever truss, it’s asymmetrical, and it doesn’t clear-span the river it crosses. The Queensboro...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
