For my newsletter today, I discussed my "pivot to video", what it has meant for my workload, why I think it was worth it, and if I think other writers and podcasters should dabble with video

Last night, I finished the first draft on a long article about AI. I have a blog where I could publish it, but I wonder if I shouldn't pitch it to a few places. I think it's a good take.

This also works if you "split" your monitor horizontally between two inputs. If the view becomes taller than wide, Windows will start snapping vertically. It's neat.
Did you know if you have a vertical monitor in Windows 11, you can snap a window to the top / middle / bottom third by pressing WIN + ALT + Up / Down 👀

Having a pretty great Sunday, just reading articles I've been saving for a while.
When I was in college, an app project I made was an Instapaper-style read-later thing called Sunday that worked only on your rest day. I still...kind of use read later apps like that?
