Fourteen years ago, I started a blog with absolutely no plan. No content calendar.No brand strategy.No “voice and tone” guide approved by a committee of people who say things like “circle back.” Just vibes. And yet, here we are. Fourteen years later. Still typing. Still observing. Still mildly […]
Apparently, 2025 was the year people started flirting with the idea of breaking up with the internet. Analog bags are a thing now. Phone-free parties. Digital sabbaths.
