Thinking About What's Next I'm taking my time to figure out what is next for me, and when. When I sold LearnDash, I agreed to a non-compete agreement, which is pre...

Using X is a Moral Choice Many people I know and respect still use X, and I can't figure out why. In January of 2025, I walked away from X after Elon Musk's Nazi ...

Is using #X a moral choice?

I think so. Especially knowing what we know about Elon.

I've thought about this as well. Whole Foods is very much a part of my life, and while replaceable, I'd def miss it.

Kindle is a tough one. My wife tried to ditch it with alternatives but came back.

Smart home is the easiest. I don't have much but am considering a move to Apple/Siri.

What did Bluesky do?

Please educate me as I'm ignorant to UK political parties... is the Reform Party new / in response to the current system?

I haven't been a big fan of bluesky. Our conversation is probably the most engagement I've had in 10mo.

If you're into politics, then it's a good place to be, but outside of that, it's a bit lacking.

I do. 😅

I like to post thoughts and opinions about #edtech (LMSs, online courses, elearning)... and it's the best place I've found for conversations around that topic.

Fool Me Twice Temptation brought me back to Twitter, and I left after seeing this. I'll admit it: I missed Twitter. Last year, I jumped ship from Twi...

I gave #X another shot, and have left it again after this happened...

2025 in Review Another year, but not like those of the past. This one was focused on my present, and future. Admittedly, I sometimes feel a weird press...

Reflecting on last year, it was a bit different from any other year in my life. I think the same will be true for 2026, but in a different way.

It truly is a never-ending journey.

Almost 6 years since I started learning #Spanish. It feels good to be fluent, but there's always opportunity for improvement.

Here's where things stand, and what I'm doing to improve.

My Self-Hosted Zoom Alternative Zoom keeps getting worse, so I'm taking back control. I don't know about you, but lately I've been noticing that the entire Zoom experie...

I got tired of the enshittification of zoom, so I set up my own instance of MiroTalk (open source software). I explain how I did it here. 👇

I've seen more people say that they enjoy posting on #LinkedIn over any other platform (including #Twitter, and #Bluesky) due to the engagement, and lack of politics.

I have to agree. LinkedIn is definitely having a resurgence.

Positive thoughts and habits will bring more of that into your life. Sharing a simple little mental exercise I've done that has had a huge impact in my life.

Backend Demos in WordPress Your sandbox demo site is not helping. I'm aging myself here, but I remember a time in WordPress when product demos weren’t even a thing...

Having a backend demo sandbox of your #WordPress product is a terrible decision... unless you do it right.

Maturing is realizing that the MIT License affords more freedoms than GPL.

The Hidden Risk of AI Blogging Using AI creates trust issues with potential clients. I wasn't even sure if I was going to write this one, given that there are so many ...

With AI... There’s no interaction, no feel-good human-to-human aspect, and that is what drives emotions and leads people to purchase or trust a brand.

It's actually pretty terrible for #entrepreneurship.
