🍋 Issue #43 - Oscar the Grouch
Another newsletter another email
Welcome to issue #43!
Hello!
I always like the idea of sitting down to watch an awards show like The Oscars, which were on last night, but then after I’ve sat and done that for 3+ hours I always feel like I could’ve done something else with that time.
Hopefully this email doesn’t take you 3+ hours to get through and you also don’t regret reading it!
On to the email!
Words I Wrote
Links to blog or social media posts I published in the past week.
That last one also inspired a tutorial video on YouTube I made about how to lock down voice privacy for kids on games like Fortnite. It’s still bonkers to me what some parents will let their kids do online with strangers…and Fortnite is on the tame side of the internet.
Linking to Likes
YouTube videos, blog posts, podcast episodes—whatever I've enjoyed or found interesting over the last few weeks.
In a bit of follow up to last week’s email, I took the plunge into Arc Raiders with my oldest. Lemon1996 is my username if you want a friend in game.
Software Bonkers - Craig Mod built a better accounting app for himself using Claude Code in 5 days than any other he's used. I’ve been using Gemini because it’s included in my Google Workspace, but am tempted to see if Claude Code is that much better?
What if you said no? - Saying no to a manager, boss, or client is never easy. But it is an option and sometimes might work out easier than you think.
Channel Surfer - Watch YouTube Like It's Cable TV - Why does this feel less chaotic than opening youtube.com?
