Daily Flash # 3 – Teched Out

Hey I think I like this. Short and snappy. Quicker, easier more frequent. It’s hard to break the essay habit.

I’ve got about as many digital tools as I need for a good while.

-11″ MacAir

-iPhone 5 (with Seri)

-Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 pocket camera

-Mac Mini hooked up to TV(although I haven’t really started using it yet)

-GOgroove FlexSmart X2 Wireless In-Car Bluetooth


I have an iPad but don’t use it. Can usually get wi-fi connection for MacAir these days. I’ve drifted away from reading books on it.

   I turn on my iPhone only when on the road. I don’t want to be reachable at all times. Lucky that I’m able to do this.

   Like I got a Haut 10′ try-fin Surftek board maybe 8 years ago, and it’s still fine for me. (Went surfing small waves, first time out in 7 months Sunday. Rusty, slow getting up, but the magic’s still there.

Just had a great breakfast at Trink’s in Gualala, now on the MacAir, Etta James singing “Trust in Me,” Come on daddy, face the future, why don’t you smile…

About Lloyd Kahn

He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include Shelter, Shelter II (1978), Home Work (2004), Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008), Tiny Homes (2012), and Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers.
