I’ve been looking for mobile nirvana for awhile now, and I think I’m close. Really close. I’m hoping to build a setup / process / workflow where I can do 90% of my work remote (ie, anywhere). That other 10% I can build into any project to ensure it’s completed.

Three new pieces entered my mobile arsenal over the past ten days:

  • WINGStand
  • Pico Projector
  • Gum Plus Power Pack

These additions, coupled with a few other pieces, have allowed me to get pretty close to my goal of 90%. Here’s how it’s working.

That was a question / dare posted on Twitter by my pal Mike. Here’s the full tweet:

Hello. My name is William and I am a huge fan of soccer. Playing. Reading. Watching. Passion. Emotion. Strategy. History. It’s all there, and it’s all so very good.

Here’s why (Hey! With pictures!):

I recently finished up a two-week tour of California. Actually, just three cities (or, three airports – however you want to judge these things):

  • San Francisco
  • San Diego
  • Los Angeles

My trip was eventful before it even started. I think most are. This one was made up of a handful of activities, which included a lot of pre-planning and pre-scheduling:

Learning Something New, Even If It’s Embarrassing

Instapaper with Google Reader Goodness

It’s kind of silly. Embarrassing almost. But it genuinely feels good to learn something new, even if it was staring you in the face for a few years.

For me, this was Instapaper‘s integration with Google Reader. Yes, I used the Read Later link in the browser on the Mac, which I recently updated with a button in Chrome. This makes the entire process of saving an article to read while browsing around so easy.

And even though I knew it existed, I didn’t know how to use Instapaper’s integration with Google Reader. Today, I’m happy (and a little embarrassed) to say I now know.
