Daily blogging is freeing
Dan Moore on how blogging every day for 100 days lessened the pressure of publishing: But once I committed to writing once a day, I was focused on getting something out. I still wanted to be proud of it, but there wasn’t as much pressure. It could even be something really short, or just a […]

Three updates to my site
I’ve recently made three small updates to my site. I suppose the first one isn’t so small. I’ve changed web hosts. Last week I migrated this site from WP Engine (which was getting very costly) to Dreamhost (which, so far, has under performed). Moving the site was rather painless. However, the performance of Dreamhost’s shared […]

Many of my notes have a half-life. If I don’t get back to them within a certain period of time, all bets are off as to whether or not I will ever remember what their original meaning was. I’m going to attempt to do a little better at this.

You should attend events, meetups, and conferences
I published the following article on LinkedIn in March. However, their publishing tool removed all of the photos from the post when I published it and I was so frustrated that I did not bother to go in and fix it. I’m republishing the post here with photos. For over a decade now I’ve put […]

Simmons returns to the blog
Brent Simmons: I realized that I want my blog to be me on the web. This used to be true, but then along came Twitter, and then my presence got split up between two places. Welcome back to using one spot to blog and microblog Brent. I find myself in the same dilemma with Instagram lately. I […]

Firefox Reality
Mozilla: Mozilla has always been on the frontlines of virtual and augmented reality (see our work with WebVR, WebAR and A-Frame), and this is a mixed reality browser that is specifically built to tackle the new opportunities and challenges of browsing the immersive web. Me, in April 2017: The way information is displayed is going to dramatically change within […]

Matt Haughey \”Communication is the hardest part\”
Matt Haughey at the January DonutJS meetup in Portland, Oregon: Being able to express myself is something I’ve worked on my whole life.

\”Just\”

Want something? Write it down
Mark Boulton, on asking people to formally write down their requests: Next time someone asks you to do something, try it. I bet 3 times out of 10, they say ‘oh it doesn’t matter’. You’ll have that time back. They’ll be a little wiser and have a lower heart rate. Good post. Jump over to […]

What I saw this week #51: March 16, 2018
Between our trip to Kentucky and starting a new position (and other things) I haven’t had any blogging time. It was good to have a bit of a break I think. Here are some things I saw recently. That’s it for this week. I hope to return to a somewhat regular publishing routine soon but […]

What I saw this week #50: March 2, 2018
The last post in this series came in August 2017. Don’t call this a comeback, but I’d like to do more of these since I won’t be blogging daily as much for a few months. Great list this week. There are many others. If you look in the right places the internet is full of […]

Austin Kleon on daily blogging
Austin Kleon: Also, quite frankly, Twitter turned into a cesspool almost overnight. My friend Alan Jacobs was very vocal about his split from Twitter, and after reading his vibrant blog and new book, How To Think, I just decided to give daily blogging a go again, and this time, to do it on my URL, on my old-school WordPress blog, […]

Fiddled with a GoPro, and related software, for the first time in a few years today. No wonder they’re hurting as a company. Software is a mess.

Three photos from Downtown Scranton – February 2018
Three photos from Downtown Scranton – February 2018 The weather is just beginning to break here in the northeast.
