Lofi: using the right tools
Robert Daeley | Nov 1 2005
It is perhaps appropriate that there have been no posts in this lofi category so far -- nobody who would be posting in it is online! ;) Seriously, though, I find myself continually pulled toward the lofi as a default, whether it's the HPDA, legal pad on a clipboard, or paper journal. I've tried moving to strictly paper-based for home versus electronic for work, and I've found it better to keep it all in one place -- on the computer for now. Not that a lofi solution is inherently better, but there is something to be said for using the simplest tool necessary to get a particular job done. Use a hammer instead of the NailPounder3000(TM) with built-in LCD nail-targeting screen and optional ScrwDrvrXtrme(TM) module. I'm curious to see if any of y'all feel the same way, and how you've integrated the lofi into your hifi world. Or haven't, as the case may be. 1 Comment

About Robert DaeleyBio Writer and programmer in Southern California. Since I was a kid, my favorite things to do have been messing around in the kitchen, being a geek on the computer, cycling around for hours on end, and writing detailed stories — all of which pretty much describes what I do nowadays. I’m married to a wonderful woman, Denyse, and have a cool stepson, Hans. There are two cats and a poodle wandering around the place, not to mention various birds lured by enticing seed presentations. |
