Life Is A Game. Play It Well.

I have a general thesis for The 8BitCubist, and that is that Life Is A Game.

When looking back, I often wonder where I went wrong and how I can adjust and move forward. How can I play a little better every day? Unfortunately, the outcome isn't pre-determined, but emergent dependent on the behavior of the world and outcome of others actions. So there is really no way to know for sure.

The only way to really figure this game out is to get in there and play. Engage. Interact. Learn. Most importantly, be prepared to lose. That's the only way you will win.

I Stopped Using Google Docs Because It Takes Microseconds Longer To Type

I have a problem with lag eating away at my work. I just realized this and I stopped using Google Docs. Those microseconds between keystrokes really make a difference in my writing productivity. It took me a while to figure that out. While typing, I'd expect the letters to keep up with me, but that often wasn't the case.

Now, I'll plow out my fast-typed prose in some other outlet before copying it over to Google Docs if I need it there for editing.

It's crazy. Some of these small, detail fixes that I've been doing have really been making a big difference.
