I couldn’t resist the lure of a new domain name; canion.me is mine. Now what to do with it?

Thirteen per cent of families even had to delay paying a bill or cut back spending on necessities to compensate for children’s purchases. — ABC News I am incredibly grateful that my Mum ensured I had financial literacy at a young age. We were poor but that didn’t stop me from learning the value of money. I’ve always been hyper-aware of money management, to the point of risk aversion.

I created a new domain, canion.me and now I’ve scratched another curiosity itch by setting up a Blot instance. Blogging by putting stuff into a Dropbox folder? Sounds like fun.
I’m not a gamer by any means but I just got hooked playing Marvel Strike Force on iOS for far too long.
After listening to the latest episode of The Omni Show, I’m now researching every tiki bar in Perth. I’ve only ever been to one and that was about 9 years ago.
Calendar Management for Productivity & Sanity

I’ve bought an annual subscription for WhenWorks. Already today my meeting scheduling has been so much easier. They just need to support UTC dates on their website.
I’ve just updated my /now page.
@smokey I just added your script to my functions.php file. Let’s see if this message reaches you…
@manton Do micro.blog hosted blogs offer ‘pages’ as well, that aren’t specifically a blog? It seems like your page has them - is that standard?
My next adventure in workflow optimisation: I’ve installed SaneBox. I don’t get copious email so not sure I need it, but that’s what trials are for, right?
After hearing from my micro.blog friends, I’ve decided to go ahead and upgrade to the TextExpander subscription service.
Back on board with TextExpander. I’m still running the non-subscription version, and I see no compelling reason to “upgrade”.
