    My 6-year-old just fake-swiped a Lego block… and it messed with my head

    IDEA 
    raises a point - a lot of people here ARE predisposed to looking within for that discipline.. But MANY more people aren't here and need gimmicks, processes or products to pick up the slack where they can't or don't want to do the work I think the bigger thing is that there are many ways of...

    Love that, how does it work from an 'official' / 'curriculum' perspective? Do you just show how you're teaching the curriculum using your own set of 'lessons'? Sort of feels like how education *should* work!

    My 6-year-old just fake-swiped a Lego block… and it messed with my head

    IDEA 
    Thing is, there is already a very simple solution. a non-smart phone. I have a tough nokia. It's bomb proof, using the internet is like a 2000s experience - clunky but enough for the absolute essentials. With a watch then I can make payments and be just connected enough. As for the geneses of...

    Good way to see it! I guess just co-incidentally I've had the importance for that re-structure as I'm racing towards middle age haha. You're right and I can't wait. Thinking about it, I've finally hit a point where I really just don't care about much outside of those four walls and don't rely...

    a development as far as half of my work issues go, my office is a 35-45m drive away. With the build going I've just put an offer in to an office/warehouse just 5 mins from home. I've underestimated how big an impact this has had, instantly feel like a 5 tonne weight lifted off my back I feel...

    This week: Starting to push on with the SAAS. Meeting for a leadgen company went OK, but I'm not sure they will truly do much. But then not having to field 3-5 qualifying calls a week is probably worth a few k of time.. Simple step of posting more on linkedin taken with a 'zero fks given'...

    Thing is, governments were never really genuinely credible, people just didn't know better. Look at Iran now. Every 5 minutes I hear some media outlet talking about their independent sources, how they've discovered xyz, circulated satellite shots etc. In WW2 bar the odd photo, we only had...

    Awesome :) similarly ours watch on the big communal tv so we can always keep an eye and check the history etc. Like you say most of it is watching others create stories on the games or play through. It's even hooked us adults who don't have time to play games in occaasionallu Introduced the...

    Very interesting, set my business up to have a marketplace section so it can exist without me having to take on the risk etc but have been trying to stop myself from getting too much shiny object syndrome :rofl: Although maybe that's not a bad thing. Do you ever feel like there literally isn't...

    I'm not entirely sure. I think the law of attraction is very real but not necessarily in an arty farty universe magic sort of way - I do genuinely believe that when you're focused on something, your Reticular Activating System guides you subconsciously in the direction of and makes you more...

    As in you have your son working on shorts as part of his homeschooling? I love that. I think my biggest inspirations as a kid came from working alongside dad when he was around and seeing something outside of sitting in a maths english or science class It's funny how when you explore a...

    Eurgh. Just as I geared up to make some big changes, I saw a message that a guy I used to work with passed away. We weren't close, chatted in passing frequently at a client's office in the past and shared the odd message since. He was a similar age to me, wife, kids. And despite not knowing him...

    This week was revelotionary and a bit scary. I decided to knuckle down. Years with (what I'll call the SAAS for simplicity but its more than that) has been characterised by working with the developers, having them build, fairly substantial development costs, lots of back and forth, being...

    Interesting week ahead. From scratch, over the weekend I Was able to build an extremely watered down version of the app. No external consultants coding away, no massive budget. Just a domain and a weekend. @Andy Black thanks to you repeating "find ways that AI can help" or words to that...

    Haha this resonates and made me laugh: "When I was finished and looked my reply over, I had an ahh moment. I sounded like I was OCD about accounting or bat-shit crazy." - I've been there so many times that (with the help of some critical advice) I realised that if I feel that after reflecting on...
