I started watching Hacks the other day. Kinda fun show. There was a scene where Ava and her agent are talking and Ava had gotten an email that included a bunch of other emails in a thread and it revealed some detail to Ava she wasn’t supposed to know. Barely important to the plot at…

You and I can really like email, but we can’t force anyone else to. Most people don’t, I’m sure you realize, even if in reality it’s providing an extremely valuable communication tool, which they should lean into instead of away from! But alas. Extracting value out of email often comes in the form of reaching…

The other day, my beloved Mimestream started hanging and being slow. I’m probably not going to abandon it, but it was an excuse for me to set it aside for a while. I just opened a gmail.com tab in my browser and rolled like that for a while. It was nice. Honestly, I probably look…

Or maybe just do it automatically? Yep, that’s my take. Why? My alma mater Wufoo made it a choice of the person making the form. The default was to not do that, which I understand. Even though I’m a fan, it also feels like that’s the wrong choice for a default. It’s also interesting to…

Looks like Jessica Hische moved her client email builder tool thingy from her site over to Studioworks. Makes sense! They are building out a little section of tools over there to help creatives, and this fits in nicely. Probably a nice little traffic-driver, which is one of my favorite little SaaS tricks.
