Three weeks. Likely four.
That’s how much time I estimate I’ve “lost” to migraines. Time spent curled up in the dark, in a fog of pain and nausea. And that doesn’t include the days I’ve spent merely impaired - composing emails with one eye squinting shut, wincing at any noises louder than a whisper - and not wholly incapacitated.
”So I have this newsletter. It’s full of win. Don’t take my word for it - how about these other people you don’t know but should listen to because don’t we all take it for granted that people on the internet know what they’re talking about, surely?
Here’s why I always look forward to and read the Galavant emails It’s always been interesting so far so until proven otherwise, I know it’s time well used It’s good value. Definitely better than Vogue (and I do mean that as a compliment) Your hyperlinks always lead me to discovering new things I like the format. I like the idea of a blog-like email Your logo and title rock
Am enjoying the Galavanting. And very keen to see where you find the next intersection of the geeky + interesting + inspiring…$2 a month. At least two people say it’s totally worthwhile. What more do you need? Oh, links: Paypal Amazon
Zing.

[Replace tech with finance. Still applies]
Most of what is written about the tech world — both in blog form and old school media form — is bullshit. I won’t try to put some arbitrary label on it like 80%, but it’s a lot. There’s more bullshit than there is 100% pure, legitimate information.
The problem is systemic. Print circulation is dying and pageviews are all that matter in keeping advertisers happy. This means, whether writers like it or not, there’s an underlying drive for both sensationalism and more — more — more.
Sad. True.
