Please write more science articles/summaries. This is really well done—great combination of info-heavy while being interesting and readable.

I've been learning Spanish using Comprehensible Input and it's been a complete game-changer for me. Oversimplified, it's learning a language by watching videos where you understand…

Love this app. Turning it on in the morning for 10 hours really does help my productivity.

I did web development and graphic design for a couple decades, and wrote a few technology books (one of them was on DHTML, so this was a while ago). I'm now writing fiction, mostly…

Writing a chapter book starring lots of semi-functioning robots.

16/8 is eating as much as you usually would, but cramming it into an 8-hour period. I generally do all my eating from 11am - 7pm. It helps a little, and I'll take all the help I ca…

> That all said, my 40s have been the best creative period of my life, by far. Agreed. Wrote my first novel in my 40s.
