Letting go of the numbers

For a while I was using infometrics to measure my caffeine-intake, my hours of sleep a given day, the amount of sugar I consumed – and even how happy I was on the happiness ratio-scale. Recently as you may know, I was and am in the process of moving into a new place – and my girlfriend moving in. Some might call it a major change, others a minor one.

During and after the move I no longer tracked or kept track of all of those infometrics. Why would I? It has served it’s purpose; I am aware that I need to watch the amount of sugar I consume, I stopped drinking caffeine completely – and well, my sleep is what it is. I learned a lot from tracking all of it though.

Throughout the last few months I have begun to shift my focus away from trivial matters and started focussing more on the things and people I care about. I have become more protective of those important items, and dropped anything that wasn’t important or mattered.

One of the other ‘casualties’ that I no longer use, is Google Reader. I have un-subscribed from all of my feeds (par my friends) and am quite happy with it. Why would I need to know everything that happens all the time? I stopped watching news and reading newspapers a long time ago but yet was still reading it via RSS. Granted, it was news from sources that I found interesting – but still.

In this hectic life with information, data and charts flowing around us all the time I stepped out of the noise – and into the calm. What I see, read and watch is about what I want to – when I want to. And it’s not backlogged, saved or stored. I jump into the stream of information when and how I want, and get out – when I want.

If anything, I am more happy and content with what I have, get and give. And about what I don’t see, hear or get in my inbox.

Still here

As you might have noticed I haven’t blogged anything lately. This mostly due to the fact that I am in the middle of moving into a new place – and my girlfriend moving in as well… So it’s a bit hectic with lots of things to do. And as an optional side-note, I am evaluating a lot of things I used to do, but which I am not doing right now.

I should be able to post a few updates somewhere this week so – no worries!

Say whut?

Well I just finished installing the latest and greatest. Fixed everything that was broken, which fortunately wasn’t a lot (this time)

Yes I know I promised more frequent updates a while back, but let’s just pretend I did and that you all enjoyed the posts a lot. Anycase, I have been enjoying a lot of videos from George Carlin, Jeff Dunham, Dennis Leary and Russel Peters. If you want to have your daily dose of good laughs – go check them on Youtube :D
