May 27, 2011

Just a quick update on my DIY Ikea-based standing desk. I originally used a Bookchair as a bookstand but quickly realized that it was taking up a bit too much depth on the 60cm deep desktop. So I installed a Levo Bookholder and now I can position the keyboard a bit further away from the [...]

Zack Arias on life, sucking and comparing yourself to others

November 29, 2010

We all at some time sucked at what now pays our bills. And even though we still sometimes think we suck at what we do when we compare ourselves to others, we probably suck a lot less than we think we do. And everybody’s the same, full of self-doubt and negative self-talk. But we need [...]
