Tuesday I went to a live recording of my favorite podcast, Stuff You Should Know. It was about Public Relations & the inventor of it (and bad guy), Edward Bernays. I recommend you listen to it when it comes out because it was super interesting; Bernays was, as Josh put it, an evil genius.

Some of take ways from the show:

  • I made an iTunes playlist of all of the episodes I haven’t listened to. There are a lot.
  • I ordered Bernays’ Propaganda.
  • At this point Josh and Chuck can say anything and I will believe it without questioning them.

    3 things I’m grateful for, this third week of August, 2021: Flexibility in my schedule: We’re without child care for the last few weeks of summer, and while this means for most we’d either have to start daycare early, burden other family members, or hire someone pretty sort-term, because my wife and I have fairly…

    It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Almost a month actually. The shame is that the last post was by far my most popular blog post ever, thanks to it getting picked up by BGR. It’s perhaps a winning combination of me being incredibly busy at work, planning WordCamp Scranton, traveling, working on side projects, and…
