Quarterly Despatches

The plan with these is to write 2-4 every quarter, to try and list out notable experiences of mine.

1 - The very first one

Apr 7, 2023

The Daily Something

For a brief period in my life, I was bored (and driven) enough to write a newsletter. I was blessed with a doughty bunch of people who wanted to read it (at it's peak, I had some 40 subscribers), which was a large enough number to keep me going irregularly for 2-ish years. All the editions of that newsletter are preserved here for posterity's sake.
