This channel is all about uncovering unconventional wisdom to optimize day-to-day workflows. I cover all kinds of interesting ideas from custom keyboards, DIY software, outdoor and lifestyle, cars, pocket tools and EDC, interesting workflows around the home, and more. I explore themes of Unix philosophy, intentionalism, ownership, utility, aesthetics and design and, of course, workflow.
