Despite its smallish size, my old hometown had three high schools. There was the public school, Jacksonville High School (JHS), the Catholic school, Routt, and Westfair Christian Academy. But there was also a fourth one. Or more accurately, a first one. The Newton Bateman High School was the home...

I’m working on a project called Biographer. I started building it last year as a gift to my parents. I wanted to design something that would help capture their life stories—something they’d actually enjoy using, and that would create a meaningful, shared experience for all of us. When my dad...

One of the news items over the weekend was that Comix Wellspring -- a popular printer among independent creators and publishers for several years -- has suddenly shut down. Temporarily. Maybe. A message on the company's home page says, "We sincerely apologize, but due to unforeseen operational...

var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true}; An early childhood educator recently told me that if "playwork" was a viable career option in the US, she would have pursued that rather than "play-based preschool teacher."I get it. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with...

The link. The paragraph: “If we called it DC Brau Light Lager, it’s not going to sell, because I’ve learned that there’s automatically a bias against craft beer in a large part of the population,” (CEO Brandon) Skall said.

Much of the recent discussion about the bonnets has centered on whether they are “correct.” Before we can answer that question, it helps to understand that not all bonnets served the same purpose. A fashionable straw bonnet and a cotton sun bonnet were different garments, designed for different...

I’m in the middle of a transition and have no idea what comes next. Time and space have been feeling distorted for a while now (you know that’s the sign of liminal space, right?). Not talking months or weeks, years. I can sense the new coming, but can’t feel into it yet. So ready for some solid...

Nine days ago I published a post explaining why Tailscale couldn’t route on the reMarkable Paper Pro. The kernel ships without CONFIG_TUN, so tailscaled ran in userspace networking mode, which authenticates and handshakes fine while giving the OS nothing to route packets through. That post ended...

Just to show that life is full of unexpected turns, on June 18, 1178, a group of medieval English monks threw a fine puzzle in the laps of astronomers that lingers to this day.On that day, shortly after sunset, five monks at the abbey of the Christ Church of Canterbury (on the site of Canterbury...

Pick up where we left off in June. As is so often the case, this story in the New York Times is less of interest for the facts, which have been reported earlier and in greater depth by other news organizations such as NPR, Reuters, CNBC, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and others, than it is for...

In 2015 Warhammer: Age of Sigmar was created. This had made some people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Well, not "widely" as it's turned out to be a bit of a success for Games Workshop, more so than Warhammer Fantasy Battle was before it was scrapped, and is now on its...
At some point perhaps fifteen years ago, I got bit by the self-development bug. You've probably been bit too. It seems common in these parts.It's basically good, I'm convinced. All the self-help books, courses, trainings, and coaching surely amount to something. Maybe we're wasting some time...

I Expected Relief. Instead, I Felt Fear. When I finally published my book, I thought I knew what I was going to feel. I expected relief after years of writing, editing, second-guessing, and rewriting chapters more times than I care to admit. I imagined there would be excitement, maybe even a quiet...

Back about five years ago, I got a call from Steve Hayden, a friend and mentor. Steve had not only been the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy & Mather, he probably won more new business for that agency than any ten other people. He was also the copywriter on Apple's "1984" commercial, a spot many people...

What a gift it is to read or watch something unabashedly truthful. I re-watched Fleabag the other day. It is such an ode to humanity. ‘People are shit, and people are all we have.’ Goes a conversation between the titular (ha-ha) character and a woman who’s just won a women in business award. And...

The other day, I was peeking over at my dad's phone when I noticed that when he searched something on safari, he didn't get any "AI overview" like what has become commonplace on google. I noticed he was using Duckduckgo, and I asked him about it. He told me it felt nicer to use so he has been...
