Hello! Lots of writing in October (what early parenthood takes away in terms of deep flow, it gives back in terms of twenty-minute pockets of time and thought):

• On the content front, I wrote about Monster Sanctuary (a delightful JRPG), The Anderson Tapes (a solid late-period Sean Connery heist), Trust (a rare postmodern novel that I disliked), Wolfs (meh, even with Pitt & Clooney to keep the thing afloat), and Slow Horses (Season 4) (a return to form!).
• I jotted down some notes on Meta's two assets, Zed, and Migrating to Django 5.
• Opined a bit on productivity in My approach to GTD and PKM and Projects are things with steps.
• I let my mind with You should build this:, Notebook as marketing primitive and Consider the data product.
• I argued that Talking to customers is overrated.
• I thought led on Indie Rails and People & Blogs.
• Most importantly, I checked in on Two weeks of parenthood.
