This might just be the best article that I have ever read on the Mac vs. PC design philosophy. https://www.quora.com/What-differentiates-Macs-from-PCs-so-much

What I am personally doing in 2016

The new year holds lots of opportunities for improving things. Organize the Cigar Box. Book a new cruise. (Scandinavia would be great.) Save and invest 10,000 USD. Clear up and unresolved items on my credit report. Organize Closet & Remove unwanted clothing and revitalize shoes. Simplify my computer life. This Could Be a Big Topic Visit Rivendell in California Design and Build New Home. Take Beau To Disneyland. Cook at home more. Eat Out Less. I think Instacart might be fun for this they deliver groceries. Make my bed more often. :) Sort my personal file box better.

Sleep is Weird.

I have always found that people have interesting conversations about sleep. As a starting point let me get my perspective out of the way. I either do not have or do not remember my dreams most of the time. Once every few years or months seemingly at random I will remember a dream in a fuzzy hard to recall way. I have never had trouble falling asleep. I don't particularly enjoy sleep but If I lie down and close my eyes I am asleep within minutes. I tend to have trouble waking up. I will sleep 12-14 hours if I am not forcibly awakened or with the use of great amounts of willpower. Yet I hear about people who keep dream journals, Have nightmares, trouble sleeping, need pills, suffer from insomnia, etc... There really seems to be a great variety of human experience when it comes to sleep. I wonder why that is... A group of crows is called a murder or congress. A group of owls is a parliament or wisdom. A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.
