The first one to yell loses

There’s a reason that yelling is often called “losing it”. Yelling shows you’ve lost control, it shows that you’ve lost sight of what it is you’re talking about. Yelling means that you’re trying to beat the other person, not win the argument or express your point.

If you start to feel yourself lose it, just:

1. Smile
2. Breathe
3. Go slowly

There’s something much more compelling about a whisper than a yell. This wallpaper might help you remember.

My first screencast

Okay, it’s not my first screencast, but it’s the first that’s been created simply as a how-to. Most of my screencasts have been in direct response to client questions on “how do I do x in my CMS again?”. Much faster than typing an email, typically.

I use ScreenFlow for capture, and this was all done in one take while waiting for some updates to compile on a Gentoo server.

Get to the point!

I ramble a lot. I need to learn to edit this stuff, but hey, you don’t learn if you don’t post.

Feedback?

Oh, and it looks much better in HD.
