The Habit Course
Notes from the Webinar. 2011-05-16. Leo Babauta with Louis Haus(?). Marie was listening to it, so I decided to take some notes to practice using QuickCursor, MacVim, and MultiMarkdown.
The Habit Course: Create New Habits For Life
Reasons trouble having habits: - Losing Motivation: 40% - Life Gets In the Way: 29% - Too Difficult to stay on track 22%
Brief Story
Started Zen Habits 1 year after he started to do habits. Tried to quit smoking (7 times fail). Finished running.
Other things - wake earlier - lost weight - get rid of clutter
Then after that started writing ebooks and other blogs. Which came from creating habits.
Creating Good Habits Changed My Life Forever. Replicate habit success.

Received this yesterday:
So I’m thinking of starting a new web project and was wondering if I could seek your advice. My tendency is to use PHP since that’s what I know and have used most in the past. Though, after talking to a lot of folks (namely Googlers…go figure), I’ve been encouraged to instead choose Python. Seeing as you’re my favorite PHP Terrorist I was wondering if you have any specific thoughts on the subject.
I still need to write another article on Python, but the short answer is I think if it’s web, PHP is probably the better choice.
“PHP is the shortest point between two distances on the web.” —Me, tongue-tied at a talk
However there are some mitigating factors to consider: Python vs. PHP for web after the jump
Twitter’s Retweet API

Apparently, I’ve gotten the beta for Twitter’s new Retweet feature, so I thought I’d use this moment to rant a little bit about the Twitter Retweet API.
The Retweet API is actually a set of five API functions, and, as per Twitter’s horrible documentation habit, they’re spread across one namespace (“statuses”) but two different classes: “timeline methods” and “status methods.”
The Audi S(F)4
As a San Franciscan, I just love this commercial Audi made for the Winter Games in 2010.
You can see the influence from the bouncy balls commercial.
(BTW, the way I embedded this video is with the new oEmbed support built into WordPress 2.9 development. You can just include the bare URL (or use a special shortcode).)
Cubecheater
This iPhone application is amazing:
I remember growing up with Rubik’s cubes in grade school. In college, a friend showed me how he came up with his solution at my age simply by inventing algorithms to transpose any two corners or sides. I never managed to get past two rows myself—a shame to my alma mater no doubt.
It goes a long way to show the sort of person I am that as a kid I would love to “solve” cubes by cracking them open and putting it back together delta a single side piece which I would flip. I would then mix the cube up and put it back.
I guess you have to be a geek like me to get the humor in that one.

I think I found my class
Apparently, it’s the leisure class
I can’t hang it up without turning it off, they keyboard goes fritzy, Contacts crashes when I click on a name, battery life is a joke…but I guess it gets me into geek parties.
Next time I am outside waiting to get in, I wonder if I can just whip out my cell and say to the bouncer guy: “Hey, I’m with iPhone.”
