    Terry Crews at around 45-minutes into his interview with Tim Ferriss: In order to do, you have to be. And also: You are what you are now. There is only now. This is all you have. These quotes from Terry Crews have been burned into my brain ever since I listened to the podcast episode…

  • An interview with Terry Gross from 1998

    Terry Gross, by far my favorite radio personality to whom I listen religiously, was interviewed in 1998 on Mothers Who Think for Salon Magazine by Lori Leibovich. I love these few bits.

  • NPR’s Fresh Air from WHYY with Terry Gross

  • The video essay boom

    Terry Nguyen, for Vox: One can even argue that we are witnessing the video essay’s golden era. Run times are longer than ever, while more and more creators are producing long-form videos.

  • Best of 2018

    This year I’m taking a slightly more comprehensive approach to my “best of” list. I’ve taken a look at previous year’s lists: 2008, 2009, 2017 and comprised a slightly more complete set. Again, this is only the things I came across this year and can remember. I don’t keep a list throughout the year but…

  • Some non-tech podcasts I’ve enjoyed lately

    I think when some of us hear the word podcast we immediately think of those that deal with technology or those in which a few tech nerds sit around and chat about tech-related topics. But podcasts are so much more than tech. Though they’ve been around a little while they are still a revolution. They…

  • Writing is the how I think

    Yesterday Chris Dixon tweeted a link to this thought-provoking blog post by Cal Newport about needing downtime to truly get into deep work.

  • The best of 2009 as told by me

    In November 2008 I put forth a list of things I thought were the best Web sites, applications, and various other things that I came across in 2008.
