Possibly half-baked Friday afternoon thought: If you own a local radio station, you should be setting up a side business for selling podcast advertising. The same sales team doing the work to sell radio adverts can also sell podcast ads.
While editing a client’s podcast, I learned about t.ly as a very short URL shortener. Plus it’s run by an indie dev, so you’re not giving money to some faceless corporation.
I can’t tell if using a cardboard box for your laptop outside in the sun is a dumb idea or a genius idea?
I’m constantly amazed at how smart, funny, and interesting most of the people I follow on this site are.

Watching Shadow Men and wondering how we can trust anyone with anything… ever?
Going for another stupid walk for my stupid mental health. Might need the motivation of a stupid iced coffee halfway through to justify this stupid walk. Meet me at the coffee shop to find out. ☕️
