100-year hosting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creative types who create a lot of content online may wonder what becomes of their work after they die. Keeping it going for more than one generation would be a challenge. It is not like books, which can continue without effort. How much would it cost to have your websites and archives guaranteed to remain online and running for 100 years? The folks at WordPress, the software behind half of todays\u2019 websites, will keep your stuff going and hosted for 100 years for $38,000, which works out to $380 per year. As more and more of my work is digital, I am very tempted by their 100-Year Hosting Plan<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat the dropshippers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m using Instagram, I get served quite a few ads for electronic gadgets and kitchen tools. If I see something I\u2019m interested in buying, I don\u2019t buy it from the advertiser, because they are a dropshipper who marks up the price by a factor of five or more. Instead, I go to AliExpress<\/a> and search for the product there. That\u2019s where the dropshippers go to find products and the prices are much cheaper. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brag Document Template<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This post by Julia Evans<\/a> addresses the misconception that doing good work automatically gets recognized and rewarded, and instead encourages you to maintain a \u201cbrag document.\u201d A brag document is your personal record of accomplishments, contributions and learning experiences at work. This can be helpful in promotions and raises when your yearly review rolls around \u2014 but more than that it\u2019s a good practice for reflection and discovering possibilities for future development. Here\u2019s the template<\/a>. \u2014 CD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget Japan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Japan is open to tourists again. Despite its reputation, Japan can be one of the cheaper developed places to travel in. Currently their exchange rate per dollar is the highest it has been in many decades. This 11-minute video by Abroad in Japan<\/a> will give you all the concrete details on how to travel in Japan with minimal money. It was posted 6 years ago, but the info is still valid. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of Multiple Intelligences<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I liked learning about the 9 types of intelligence<\/a> based on a theory by Psychologist Howard Gardner. They are: Visual-spatial, Linguistic-verbal, Logical-mathematical, Body-kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic, and recently added Existential. Here\u2019s an info-graphic<\/a> and another chart<\/a> I found helpful. I know what comes easily to me, but this makes me want to develop the intelligences I struggle with: spatial, logical-mathematical and bodily-kinesthetic. My plan in 2024 is to draw more, build puzzles, and maybe try sculpting. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s in Matt Mullenweg\u2019s bag?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every year, Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress, posts a photo of the things he carries in his travel bag, along with detailed descriptions. His 2023 photo<\/a> includes 53 items plus a backpack that holds everything. The thing I want the most from his list is the Rolling Square inCharge XL 6-in-1 Multi Charging Cable<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
