Everyone talks about indie hacking with sites Product Hunt and Indiehackers becoming more popular. However, few bring up the dark side. After struggling to get it off the ground, there is a lack of motivation, time, and disinterest in the project. Kyle, Sunny, and I all work full-time jobs. They are developers, and I am…
I am not a car enthusiast by any means, but buying a Tesla has always been my dream. In September, I finally realized my goal of buying a Tesla. So I bought the Tesla Model 3 Standard Plus. This model is the LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery version, a slightly lower range than the other Tesla Model…
It’s almost the end of 2021! Another year of Covid-19 with precautions and vaccinations. The summer flew by, and I haven’t provided any updates. Primarily, I fell off of Twitter, Instagram, and blogging. I wasn’t giving updates because we bought a house just outside of San Antonio, Texas. It’s a new home construction with many…
Have you ever had a day that felt productive, but once you look back at the day’s accomplishments, you realize you were unproductive? I’ve felt that a lot over the past couple of weeks. I have been finishing work, feeling busy, and getting tasks done. Then when I look back, I realize a lot of…
Ghost 4.0 came out today! It’s been a long-delayed update, partly due to COVID, but it’s finally here for everyone. The update brings memberships and the newsletter feature of the beta. I have been using the lab “beta” features since the early days of the launch. They were largely unpolished and half-baked up until today’s…
I finally upgraded my iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone 12. While the upgrade is a significant overhaul, it doesn’t feel like a major change. It’s practically the same phone with the same apps. I copied over the previous iPhone data, making it feel like the same device. I am still using the same apps,…
I often read about freedom from a 9-to-5 job. While most of these folks tell you to pursue a startup, have a side hustle, or start freelancing. They don’t realize you don’t have to leave your 9-to-5; you have to leave the traditional 9-to-5 requirements. As companies are going fully remote, the one I am…
I recently got an invite for Clubhouse, and I discovered how to access Twitter Spaces. Both have apps have the same concept. Each offers open rooms for anyone to talk about current events or around any topic that you could imagine. Clubhouse is currently iOS only, plus it requires an invite. Twitter Space is still…
I’m always sharing screenshots! They’re often quick screenshots of a graph on Google Analytics or something on a web page that I want to share with a friend or client. They’re not pretty or appealing. Now, not all screenshots have to be special. Sometimes though, I want to make something I share pop. I’ve tried…
I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted what would happen over 2020. I wrote in the 2019 recap that “I didn’t want to set any lofty goals.” Best choice ever! Instead of doing the standard recap, goal setting, and resolution for 2021, I am adopting Yearly Themes. I first discovered Yearly Themes from the Cortex podcast….
