Reading Time: < 1 minI’ve often found that the strongest people in any area tend to have a bit of imposter syndrome, as it keeps them constantly pushing to improve. Related, I’ve heard it said about those that ask questions such as “am I a good mother?” — if you care enough to ask, you almost certainly are. In […]

Reading Time: < 1 minLast year I shared the thought that attention spans aren’t really getting shorter, but users are simply more picky about where to invest their time. If you know anyone that has ever “binged” a show on Netflix, you know this to be true. That said, that post was simply a quote with some anecdotes and […]

Reading Time: 2 minWebsite URLs are getting longer and more complex, and most of that time that’s ok. If I have a link to share digitally (on here, on social media, via email, via text, etc), the length doesn’t matter — you can just click it. However, if you’re displaying the URL and expecting people to type it […]

Reading Time: 2 minEvery January first (for the past few years – 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) I like to look at some numbers and stats from the previous year. Content This was once again a solid year with exactly 365 posts, and it was perhaps the easiest to keep going. It’s not “easy”, but it’s because a solid part of my […]

Reading Time: < 1 minAs I shared near the end of 2023, I don’t set many goals for myself but I work hard to keep pushing in the directions that I want to go. In particular: Our company will be setting more big goals this year, I’ll keep pushing forward on my individual efforts, and it should be a […]

Reading Time: < 1 minOne of my favorite TV shows in recent years is the Netflix original “Travelers“. It’s a fantastic show and I recommend you check it out, but the show itself isn’t really the point of this post. Late in the series, one of the characters (Marcy) has lost much of her memory, so she asks David […]

Reading Time: < 1 minIf you celebrate Christmas, I wish you a wonderful day full of presents and friends. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you an excellent day of quiet and rest. Our body and mind tend to recharge when unplugged (the opposite of our devices), so may all of your batteries be full today.

Reading Time: < 1 minI recently had a mildly frustrating situation where I wasn’t able to deposit a check through the mobile deposit feature on the Truist banking app. I tried and tried and it just wouldn’t take it, so I had to drive over to the bank to deposit it. It wasn’t a big deal, but it got […]

Reading Time: < 1 minThis Thanksgiving, I hope you take some time to become unweary of the wonders in your life. Whether that is friends, family, food, or football, they’re all amazing things that we’re blessed to have. Take time today to also be thankful for the other wonders you have. Just reading this post means you have a […]

Reading Time: < 1 minDoing less often requires doing more. The iPhone was far easier to use than other phones when it came out in 2007, but it took years to develop that kind of interface. Similar is the quote from Blaise Pascal that simply says “if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter“. Writing […]
