Busy May

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Wow. I just realized I haven’t posted here since the end of April. And really, I have some ideas for posts, but no time. I am in the midst of finals week, projects, and getting ready to go out to San Francisco for Google I/O. I also have some ideas for projects I want to do over the summer. So in light of that, here is a “Random Thoughts” post to hold you over until I have time to write something more substantial.

  • I finished A Confederacy of Dunces. It was very good. I am now reading Bringing Down the House, the book the movie 21 is based on.
  • Iron Man was an awesome movie. Go see it. Take me with you.
  • I am using a new system to keep track of invoices and expenses for my business. That will be my next big post.
  • Google Reader integrated Notes and the ability to share websites not in your feed reader, as I requested in my last post. It’s like they are listening directly to me!

I frequently have random thoughts that I will post on Twitter, if you’d like to follow me.

    5 Insanely Impactful Books That Helped My Business

    I feel like I’m getting this in just under the wire (as in, published in January), but the new year has a lot of folks thinking about their business and how they can improve, or they are thinking about starting a new business. While some of the best business knowledge comes with experience, I feel like there’s more advice out there than ever before. It’s hard to know what’s good and what’s bad.

    Last week’s Facebook outage brought an onslaught of platitudes from people talking about how terrible Facebook is, and how you should own your own platform. But even as a developer myself, my thoughts are a little different.

  • 2019: The Year of New Content

    My favorite podcast of 2018 was Cortex, a show hosted by Myke Hurley and CGP Grey about their working lives.
