There are dozens of us!

I'm living in Thailand, the self-declared Land of Smiles, and ... it's not very smiley. I visit Japan, which social media seems to say is a terrible place to work and make friends,…

I'm building a writing app for perfectionists: Reproof ( https://reproof.app/ ) I've been a writer for over a decade and a half. I'll often rewrite intros and other sections a half…

Ahhh this too. Love flights without WiFi.

Strangely I think it's why I like roadtrips so much. Sitting doing absolutely nothing for even 15 minutes is difficult for me, but I can drive for hours doing nothing but watching …

You've got a shot at building a new Sparrow here. This looks really nice. Unsure that every email message needs a tab on the top, too—I think you could almost just rely on the left…

My first computer was a hand-me-down Compaq LTE laptop, several times removed from the original owner, with a 700MB hard drive and Windows 95 a decade after those were leading-edge…
