You chose a really nice place to move to. I'm jealous. Be sure to visit Abel Tasman national park.

Really good book. I recommend it as well.

I had the same strategy as this but I realized one important thing: I was spending all of my time looking at the damn charts. The opportunity cost of being constantly distracted an…

Thank you for this explanation. I'm always telling people the same thing. We should respect the name which the discoverer gave to it.

Loved the post. I'm in the exact same position as you. Have 6 months of runway and I've become an independent consultant. I'm also spending the time on my own ideas, like my newly …

Hey oellagaard. When you say, "I was also hoping for the possibility to write a synopsis for each blog article", where would you want that synopsis to show up? In the archive? Just…

I'm getting a lot of feature requests. So I have to pick and choose. You have some good questions. The tags are there to give the reader extra meaning about the article. For exampl…
