I’ve had an idea in my task list for a week or so now, and I just haven’t made the time to write about it, at least not as I originally intended when I read the post that inspired it. Jamie Rubin wrote his post titled “A Vision for Blogging in 2019” a few weeks […]

New Year’s resolutions are a little weird, and arbitrary
New Year’s resolutions are a little weird. We pick this convenient change from one year to the next, and declare our intentions to do more or better.

Feedback that inspires me to be a better blogger
I enjoy blogging because I enjoy sharing things that interest me. My blog has a pretty modest following, and I like receiving feedback on posts that resonate with readers. This evening, I opened Twitter for some reason, and noticed this wonderful tweet from Jamie Rubin, a writer, blogger, and stimulus for my Field Notes obsession: […]
