A yearly theme is a great way to keep a general focus for the long run. This is different then goals or actions. This is more like a guiding North Star. I picked up the idea from Rely FM’s Cortex which just had their yearly theme episode.
My theme this year is gonna be Creating Content. I’ll go into more detail as we progress, but really less consuming content and more creating, whatever form that happens to take.
The idea is to be in control of the content and customize it to be more reflective of my own thoughts and ideas. It was a faint pain to set up, but I thing in the end it will be well worth it.
I don’t doubt that TMobile did everything they could to “massage” there numbers on 4G. But these days I have very little faith in the FCC is impartial these days. And that I think, is not a great place to be. arstechnica.com

I mean, some accountability is better than none.

Opps. Wrong end. Not crafting a call for proposals, but answer ing that call. Lol link.medium.com
So I was thinking a goal for 2019 would be 20 rejections for call for proposals for programming conferences. This means I need to put together maybe 5 or 6 quality cfp’s and then find as many interesting conferences to apply to. I thought it would be more positive to set the goal at 20 rejects, as a poses to getting accepted at 1 or 2 conferences. Knowing that it’s a matter of having a good solid proposal, and a numbers game. Maybe it does fit with the overall theme of the conference, maybe it just missed the cut? There are lots of reason to get rejected, being a terrible idea I don’t think is even on that long list. Maybe I didn’t articulate my goals well? Those are all things I can improve on. With that in mind, step one creat a repo. Step two, find and compile a laundry loo isn’t of conferneces. Starting with everything is inbounds, other than ones that fall on the kid’s birthdays and things like that. So we’ll start with the list, and go from there.
I love all these ideas. Label them whatever you want. I support them all. twitter.com
To get started let’s rundown the things you’ll need
I started with a Blue Yeti and recorded on my Mac using the free go software Audacity. It’s a nice plug and play over USB with any computer. Talk, record, edit, export. Easy peasy. After a while I upgraded to XLR mic, that’s the fat pronged audio cable you see from standard audio equipment. Then you need a box to convert that to digital and send it into the computer over USB. This is a good breakdown of the two options xlr or usb?. The nice thing about XLR is it makes it much easier to edit later because it gives me cleaner audio.
