Guess who's back

Back again. It's time for my randomly scheduled and inconsistently delivered newsletter. You'll notice a new category this week, f00d. That's a reference to the only Pinterest board I use (yes, I use Pinterest). This exciting new category will be a place I can share recipes or writing about food.

Also, you'll notice I've called out a few folks who shared links. You too can be as famous as these fellow subscribers by sending me links. You can text them, email them, or reply directly back to this newsletter with them. If you definitely don't want me to use your link, you can even fax it.

Enjoy.

Issue 4 • Apr 3rd 2017

I hope you were really disappointed last week

Because I forgot to send out my newsletter. If you do happen to enjoy my rants and associated links, please use the "Forward" button on whatever email reading tool you use and send it to someone that you think would enjoy this too. When you do that, all they'll have to do is click this handy link and subscribe themselves (so that you don't have to remember to forward all this inbox gold every week yourself).

Self-promotion over. Quick note: there are more links to videos in this than I'd like, but it's been a good video week for me. Sorry bout it. Proceed.

Thanks for sticking around

You've made it to the second issue. W2G. Hope you find the following links to be helpful in your never-ending quest for knowledge.

You'll notice a lot of shoutouts to folks who send me links. So do that, and you get a shoutout. Unless your link sucks and I don't use it, but don't let that get you down. Share away!

Thanks for signing up. I'm going to be really honest: I'm so excited that newsletters are kind of hip right now. I think Calvin-age-10-3/4 would have been really proud of present-day-Calvin for starting one. I wrote so many "newsletters" and "announcements" to my siblings when I was a kid. I've actually discovered several of them while cleaning out my house recently. Ask me about this IRL.

Since this is the first issue, I wanted to give a quick definition for each of the categories you'll see below.

• Timeless Things: these are what cool blogger types call "evergreen content". It's not based on trends or current events, it's just good content that you could read today or next year or five years from now and still get something out of it.
• Random Things: these articles are nothing like the above. It's just random, trivial junk I see in the weird corners of the Internet I frequent.
• Work / Productivity: I'm a sucker for a good post about someone's morning routine or how they've gotten their crap together and are now 10x more efficient at brushing their teeth (or something like that). I will endure all the eye-rolling these articles bring my way, because they make me happy.
• Business Time: This is a reference to a show I didn't really watch but the song is really funny. These will be links to articles about business and the economy and stuff, and you'll be able to cite these articles to impress your friends and coworkers.
• Sports (Basketball): I don't want to pretend that all the sports links won't be about basketball. They'll be about basketball.
• Science And Stuff: Yep.
• Further Reading: These are real-life books with paper pages, covered in ink, bound together with glue and not reliant on batteries. Some of them are books I've read, some I haven't read but I am pretending that I will read them. In actuality, they'll live on an Amazon wish list, where they will stay until I "accidentally" order them when Amanda is out of town.
