This post may contain affiliate links. Since I decided my blog would be focused on creativity, I’ve been reading a lot about the topic. Big Magic was recommended by a youTuber recently, so I borrowed the audio book through my local library. This book feeds right into my search for creativity and lifelong learning. I…
I’d still rather not pay WordPress.com every month, when I can run this server for about $20 a year, but I’ve spent the last couple of weeks banging my head against email issues. So, sorry that I’ve been distracted. On the plus side, I’m almost ready for my first “what I’m reading” post. If it’s…
The last couple of posts, I have tried writing titles that conform to SEO guidelines. I’m unsure if it’s made a difference as far as human readers are concerned, but it definitely seemed to attract spam bots. I think I may go back to my old way, which is typically to write titles as they…
As the year winds down, many of us find ourselves sifting through unfinished projects and forgotten logins. This year, I’ve realized that the biggest obstacle isn’t the tools I use, but my own perfectionism and tendency to jump from one idea to another. Yet, with each abandoned project, I’ve learned that perseverance often matters more than flawless execution.
I started working with computers slightly before the World Wide Web was a thing. I’ve tried to continue to keep up with the technology even though it isn’t my day job to do programming, design, or server admin. I’ve never really shied away from trying to learn technology. Even though website creation is so different…
I finally posted something besides a test to my blog, and it wasn’t set up to email my subscribers, so you don’t know about it. If you’re interested, my post can be found if you click “Continue reading” below. And I’m thankful for all of you. Here are some puppies. Link to my post: Okay,…
This is my first “real” post on the blog since moving to my own domain. Hopefully, you are seeing this because: 1. my subscriber import worked (it was done the old-fashioned way, adding you in using a hand-built import file) and 2. my email is working (this is my first time running email that wasn’t…
I have imported my wordpress.com blog to my own domain here at meanwhileinthefuture.com. Please excuse the mess, I am experimenting with the look and feel. If you have any feedback, you can comment on this post. Thanks!
A number of years ago I started this blog and bought the domain meanwhileinthefuture.com. Sadly, I was unable to meaningfully get started with it, and eventually let the domain go. Some time later, I thought about blogging (again) and found that the domain had been bought by some chap who seemed to be using it…
I know now why I shied away from writing a blog for so long. Sometimes, you just don’t have anything in you. I’m a little fascinated by some of the “lifestyle” vloggers that for years will make these cinematic, story-oriented videos week after week. And the stories are… I don’t want to be mean, but…
