↩ Jacob's Ephemerata

A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Rules for Lists

  1. Lists must have nearly achievable goals. CLEAN-OUT GARAGE is acceptable. SLEEP WITH JESSICA ALBA PRE-PREGNANCY is not.
  2. Lists may not contain minutiae. Things like BREATHE and FANTASIZE ABOUT JESSICA ALBA PRE-PREGNANCY are inevitable and near-constant. Therefore, they are not List-worthy
  3. Lists must have ringers. Despite Rule #2, there should be a few things on the list that are semi-easily achievable. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and bolster you to tackle some of the harder items. GET HAIRCUT is a popular choice.
  4. Lists must contain no more than 10 active items at one time. Because really, if you have more than 10 things on your List, what are you dicking around writing lists for?
