Seth on the long tail
To see it all shift this way, everywhere all at once, is a bit like a complete solar eclipse. It’s rare and we won’t see a shift like this happen again soon. Seth on theatrical runs. I’ve been paying more attention to theatrical and streaming the last
Information wants to be free
Following up my last post about piracy, I’ve often struggled with this for myself. I want to write, podcast, and share things with the world. I also dream of a world where I can make a little side income off of my writing. But then I feel like I’
Sailing the high seas
As a teenager I pirated a lot of music and software, games, and the likes. I’m pretty sure every other kid with any technical savvy did the same. As I got older I stopped doing that, especially when the software I was purchasing was helping to support my growing

The Acolyte
The Acolyte, a TV show in the Star Wars universe, comes out on Disney Plus tonight. I’m trying to avoid any spoilers and go in cold. I was so incredibly pleased with the first season of Mandalorian, and fell in love with Andor, but stayed away from other shows
Wobbly AirPods
I love to run, love to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, and love my AirPods Pro (2nd generation with Lightning). However, I’ve continually had an issue with them while running, where the AirPods have a pop to them with the sound. It’s intermittent; happens at least 50% of
Julia Chesbrough on burnout
Julia and I had a fantastic chat last week, and we’re planning on having her on the podcast next week. I love her thinking on being a designer in today’s world, and making sure you’re taking care of your mind and body. Perfectionism also showed up in
