RSS Sponsor: Timing - The Automatic Mac Time Tracking App⇢

Screenshot of Timing

Time is your most precious resource. You need to know how you are spending it.

But time tracking sucks. Big Time. (Pun intended.)

Timing fixes that.

It automatically tracks which apps, documents and websites you use — without start/stop timers. See how you spend your time, eliminate distracting activities, and improve your client billing.

I recently uninstalled my Twitter client from my iMac after seeing how often I had it in the foreground. It was a little shocking, and Timing helped show me how much time I was wasting with it. Because Timing is aware of the apps that are running, this was an easy task to complete.

RSS Sponsor: Dejal Time Out for Mac⇢

You deserve a break.

It is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end.

You care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself. Dejal Time Out is here to help. It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis, with flexible customization if you want it.

You can configure how long each kind of break lasts, and how much time will elapse between them. When a break starts, your screen slowly dims, and a break theme appears. When the break is complete, it fades in again.

To mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month each year, I raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I do so via the hospital’s annual marathon.

This year, my oldest two kids — including our St. Jude patient — are running the kids marathon. They’ve been running around the neighborhood with my wife, and will run the last mile in downtown Memphis this December.

We set up a fundraising page with a $9,000 goal; one grand to mark each year of our son’s life. Each one is a miracle.

September: Thank You⇢

A week ago, I announced that once again this year, I’d be taking the revenue from 512 Pixels and donating it to St. Jude, and would be encouraging you to donate to the hospital that has saved the lives of thousands and thousands of kids with cancer, including my son.

I’m humbled and blown away that in just a week, we’ve met our goal of $9,000.

I know there’s a lot of hurt in our world right now, and a lot of things that are worth donating money to, which makes your generosity all the sweeter to me.
