Does anyone successfully use a social network, say, once a day or twice a week? If so, tell me your ways.

Remember The Deck ad network? Is there anything that even approaches it these days in terms of the type of market served?

New Pika post: Some thoughts on Project Tapestry

Pika has officially launched! Lots of good, hard work this past month and we’ve got something I know that I am enjoying immensely. I posted about some of the feelings behind the action.

How Do Search Ads Run the World?

I think I found that URL redirection service I was after: Redirect Pizza.

Trade Coffee Pricing Gets Convoluted

HTTPS Traffic Redirection Service?

Micro.blog ingesting of outside RSS feeds seems pretty hit-or-miss to me? You have the same experience? (It could very much be a poorly coded feed from Pika. Just seems weird that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.)

Working with Mild Illness

Just finished up Demon Copperhead. What a ride. My first Barbara Kingsolver fiction book, if you’re wanting to make a recommendation.

You’re a Blogger, Not an Essayist

We at Good Enough have been cranking on Pika this week. None of this has really landed in the product, so it seems an update is in order.
