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.

The Wonders of Human Laziness

One of the great motivating forces of humanity… Is laziness. Yes, I know it’s a little bit ironic, but without going into detail, let’s just say that it’s a subtle and interesting force. And with that in mind, no greater solution to human laziness I think has been the advent […]

Amazing Weekend

It’s way past midnight, and I’m just sitting here in the cab that I’m in at the moment, coming back from hanging out in Johor, hanging out in the human world, just chillin’, pickle ball playing, everything else. Not super sure why it felt right to me to write this […]
