noticed the ding only after the door had closed behind him. That was an anomoly, he thought. Most of these store door bells dinged upon opening. He turned back to look up at the bell that was stuck onto the side of the door rather than hanging from...

200 Words a Day
The magic of 200 Words a Day
Once Brandon asked me something along the lines of "where has the magic of 200 words a day gone?"
I didn't have a good answer for either Brandon or myself at the time, and I confess I still don't have a good answer for him today, but now I've got one...

Emails like texts
Most of my coworkers now had Gmail on their phone. Their response rates were really quick but their replies were often looked less like emails and more like chat replies. Answering emails exclusively from a computer this annoyed me. First it made the discussion less thoughtful and more prone to...
I found the Diaries of Greco
During the hunger
When I was 20 I didn't know how to fill my belly. Some days I ate one meal, not because I was

Ceremonies as community things
as reply to Theater
There is something emotional about ceremonies that acknowledge moments in our lives. Weddings, funerals, graduation ceremonies, the Oscars are all such events. It could be theater for some and an episodic moment for another. Depends on the sweat, tears and blood invested.

I can now write about anything
Which means that I can now write about nothing.
While writing my previous post I realized that I have the ability now to write a whole book about what some might consider nothing. What gave me this idea was thinking about how I could write 50 thousand words about not...

Scoped Artistic Feeling
Since returning home, i've been feeling extra inspired, extra artistic. Each breath I take and step I walk is more deliberate and feelings more meaningful. However, even though I feel super inspired within the more menialΒ parts of life, I feel less inspiration when I face the page.
Weird right?...

The Drastically Unambitious Indie-Hacker
Yesterday I wrote about how people think they're underestimating when they're actually still overestimating when it comes to making products. I know I did this when starting to work on this project. I told people that I was just doing it for fun and the community but I also had...

Corners
as reply to Internet Corners
Even the big spaces like Twitter have their own corners within them. The difference between big places and small corners though is that the latter continues to design intentionally for the specific corner crowd.

People underestimate how much they underestimate
Indie Hackers often use the rhetoric of only wanting to make X money or not needing to make it big, but when I observe their message I think they still don't realize just how big their ask is.
