🍋 Issue #34 - Wake Me Up When December Ends
I'm as confused as you are as to how it's 2026 already and also feels like it's been 2026 for months.
Welcome to issue #34!
With full apologies to Green Day, as I'm writing this it's the first Monday of 2026. We're all a little disoriented and confused coming out of the holiday time warp.
We had family visiting for part of the break which was fun, and then some quality time spent lounging and being lazy with puzzles, video games, movies, board games, books, coffee, snacking, lunch as breakfast and breakfast as supper, and repeat.
On to the email!
Words I Wrote
Links to blog or social media posts I published in the past week. Just one this time:
The Circle of Xbox vs Gaming PC Life in my Brain - it's a never ending cycle. Please unsubscribe from my brain. 😆
The other thought I’ve been ruminating on is something I posted on social media:
What if checking Bluesky, Mastodon, TikTok, RSS feeds, Instagram, Threads, 4 Discords, writing a blog, barely maintaining a business website, live streaming randomly, and an email client with 3 inboxes isn’t the best way to be productive?
I’m sure there’s nothing to that thought.
Linking to Likes
YouTube videos, blog posts, podcast episodes—whatever I've enjoyed or found interesting over the last few weeks.

This Week at Lemon Productions
It's not always easy to talk about client work when it’s not public yet, but I thought I'd link to episodes I found interesting, or fun things happening in podcasting that I come across.
I previously mentioned It Shipped That Way. There's a new episode coming soon with the co-founder of Wealthsimple that I really enjoyed.
Picture From My Life
I’m sure there’s a better way to say that.
Be curious. Not judgmental. 💖
