An individual’s attention span varies depending on different factors.

Forming a habit is known to take 21 days.

At the very beginning of 2025 I was in a car accident.

This year has certainly been tumultuous!

Being indie means being scrappy and taking a lean approach to doing things, including being on the web.

Doctors often talk about walking as a form of exercise for being healthier.

This year, my work focused on expanding Blocks Edit functionality beyond email, and pushing out some initial Indie Aisle features.

This year I’ve blogged less, instead working on some weekend side projects.

About a month ago I got a used 2017 Nissan Leaf.

It was the year of getting back to normal from Covid times.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the problems with Twitter.

We recently released a really cool new feature for Blocks Edit: a visual editor for setting properties that turn any email HTML into an editable template for building individual emails from.

I've had my iMac that I primarily used for work for over six years now.

Gilbert Gottfried died a couple weeks ago.

Amazing Jonathan died recently.

This year sorta felt like 2020, part 2.

An example of a bell curve A few months ago as the vaccine for Covid was getting out and things seemed hopeful again, something curious happened: some people decided they didn’t want the vaccine.

It’s been over ten months since a new email service, HEY came out and I’ve been using it since, along with a Work version that came out a few months ago.

2020, the year of a global pandemic, essentially makes it the shittiest of years in who knows how long.

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while now but never quite seem to have the energy.

We’ve made it to 2020, we’re living in what sounds like a made up movie future!

This will be my third Thanksgiving eating plant-based, having switched two and a half years ago (though the first one doesn't really count since I did end up eating some turkey).

I’ve been organizing stuff at my new place.
