Just discovered the doc.new shortcut, and it’s lifechanging. 

All you do? Go to Chrome, and type in “doc.new” into the address bar, and poof – here you are, with a brand new Google Document.

Why do I even know this? Because I use Google documents every day, and I like to make things just a little easier for myself so I don’t get the excuse of saying that I didn’t do things because they were too cumbersome or too difficult. 


Here, I was trying to get a shortcut to create a new document and I was looking for the easiest possible way to do it – a way of enabling me to do things more easily, in more refined a fashion, in more simple a way to make things happen and develop.

Docs.new is one of the most elegant things I’ve discovered this entire year, and it’s a shock that that realization came in nothing more than a single search for the shortcut and a single phrase typed into a keyboard.

It makes me wonder how many other instances of this exist out there in our strange universe.

My Meditation

This isn’t a New Year’s resolution post, but it’s a little observation about something that I really want for the year, and that is the ability to think fast and process faster. This is my meditation, differing from any other meditation I’ve seen. I know it seems like a bit […]

What we share and what we don’t.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but on the topic of what we choose to share on the internet or in published life, I think that personal standards and egoes are a pretty interesting topic. As it goes, I think if you’re going to type something and spend […]

Time’s Unending Bound

THE SAD THING IS that we are bound by time. Every single one of you – the reader, the writer, the person just casually scrolling by – all of you are bound in this common experience, only to be reminded of it every single time you lock at the clock […]

The Close of 2025

Can you believe it’s the end of the year? Well, whether you believe it is or not doesn’t matter, cause it is 😀 Here we are, tail end of 2025 and leading into the new horizon that is 2026. Did you have a fun time? I did. 🙂 I don’t […]

I Create, Therefore I Am

Once upon a time, Descartes articulated a simple and famous philosophy: I think, therefore I am. His idea was simple: Life is ambiguous, thoughts can be interpreted in wildly different ways; the entirety of the senses can be fooled, turned into illusions, and at the end of the day there […]

Sorry for not writing.

It feels like an era since I last came back here, and it has been. I’m sorry I haven’t been present, but a lot of stuff happened: I went to Japan, I got so much more serious about YouTube, I got a lot faster, and I guess I got caught […]
