The penny is going away. This has been a point of debate for years. I for one support this change, even if it means will get more costly. This little piece of copper still held some value when I was a child. But it’s lost so much through inflation
Stop trying to boil the frog. We use this metaphor all the time. The references comes up in podcasts, the real world, and in all forms of media. Yes, I get it. We want to explain a concept to try and push an idea foward. Metaphors have their use. But
I forget things all the time. But I don’t mean to. Friends or colleagues who have spent any time around me quickly catch on to the fact that a simple conversation the day before, or a piece of data they shared will move into the space in my brain
My 7 year old strongly prefers to sleep with white noise playing. She’s got a little machine that does it on a timer. Whenever she sleeps somewhere else, if she can’t bring the machine, it’s best to have another solution. YouTube has those 10 hour long videos

I don’t like meetings. Not because I don’t like people, or having great conversations. On the contrary, some of my happiest times are chatting about geeky topics, or deep topics, or light topics, with amazing people. Having connections with others, talking to colleagues, meeting with friends, are all
A few weeks ago I wrote about iCloud’s “hide my email”. I’m now using it almost weekly, mostly with Safari’s auto-fill. It gives me a tiny sense of freedom after decades of spam abuse. Chris Coyier shared similar frustrations, and it got me thinking about the
Today, I want to share my complete read-later workflow and tools with you. It has proven itself time and again as a scalable solution that avoids the problem of an ever-growing backlog of things to read. Via marcel.io Though Marcel’s solution is a bit tongue-in-
Yesterday a friend asked me to write for a private newsletter with a very short turnaround time. I said yes. Writing comes in many forms. Personal, to a friend, or on the internet, where the void absorbs and does what it will. The longer you write, and the more time
