This past weekend was the Fourth of July and I inadvertently took the weekend off by not spending much time at the computer. Instead I spent it with family and friends, traveling and enjoying the mostly beautiful weather. It was nice.

I was recently asked what’s the longest I’ve ever gone without a computer. During the Summer of 2004, I went to Ocean City with my cousins and my laptop died the night before.

    I will die on the hill that you should always write the first draft. It’s not just about efficiency. It’s about actually thinking through a problem, and taking the time to use your own voice. Not the average of your voice and the AI’s training. If you didn’t write it, you didn’t write it.

    I’m brushing up on Sensei for a video I’m producing, so I’m taking their free course, Sensei 101 to get a feel for the LMS. Low and behold, I came across a familiar face:

  • Trying the WordPress App

    Bycasabona

    I’ve always been hesitant to use the WordPress app because I didn’t like how tethered it was to Jetpack. But now that I’m on Pressable, the experience has been pretty swell. This is also a move to look for more ephemeral ways to share my thoughts since leaving Twitter. I suspect a combination of this…
