Which is a worse way to start the day?

Jumping on the phone with a big Co ?

or

having to figure out how to send them a fax?

I take any concerns about the MLB pitch clock about as seriously as this article.

The game needed it.

Run by this constant memorial all the time.

Up earlier than usual. Half way through the run with my running buddy.

What’s a recent “wow” moment or experience you’ve had with a company, product, or service?

Something amazing enough that you told someone else about it.

Lake Washington seems a little high lately.

Related note - the service I use to cross post to Twitter is ending in July. So unless Twitter makes any serious price changes to the API I’m not sure I’ll be posting this content there much past July.

There are like 10 people that keep me signed into twitter. I keep waiting for them to migrate somewhere. I suspect I’m not alone. When that other shoe drops the fall will be dramatic.

Analytics porn… as an entrepreneur when you stare into chart after chart hoping to find something that moves the needle. But like real porn. It’s all fake.

In case anyone is wondering. I’ll happily accept payments from friendly billionaires for private school tuition for my kids.

“You can not look for the answer. You must be the answer.”

Does anyone really believe this answer? That removing Google Analytics will not lower your SEO ranking? Got the 55-day warning to migrate to GA4 for KickoffLabs. The migration isn’t working… so tempted just to drop them.

Good lesson here. growth over savings

I like that ChatGPT doesn’t judge my spelling. It just rolls with it.

Had the first person sign up for a trial of contentspark.ai last night!

They’ve already created posts and published a few! Reached out to get feedback. We’ll see how it goes.

I have a love / hate relationship with the advice “just make your business 1% better every day. “

Per math… moving that 1% gets harder each day.

But daily improvements… sure. I buy that.

Just soft-launched the contentspark.ai MVP beta. Anyone can sign up for a 7-day (no CC) trial now. Just prepare yourself.. if you do then I’m going to be emailing you to see how it’s going.

A problem I have when I dig into a straightforward task for my company is that I always see related items and say, “Well.. I’ll just update that too,” and it becomes a rabbit hole of improvements unrelated to what I really wanted to accomplish.

Mention Mastadon on twitter and get a warning?

Let’s see.

Yup. I don’t know.

It’s happened. No matter how innocuous a thing you say now on Mastadon to inspire people the reply guys seem to have migrated from twitter to try and tear you down.

Find something better to do with your life.

I don’t oppose debate… but recognize your (or my) view doesn’t work for everyone.

Watching the whole Blue Checkmark thing play out. There so many better ways to add subscription value on social.

Since I don’t actually think Elon is this bad at business only one answer remains.

His goal isn’t profit. It’s to amplify the ultra right. Most long threads only show MAGA blue now.

Has a message that starts with “I hope this email finds you well..” ever been anything but spam?

I’d rather these people use AI to generate the messages. At least they’d be more unique then.
