Hello Reader, A good power-up is easy to start & easy to select. When Mario is running through Bowser's kingdom, stomping on turtles and dodging fireballs, he needs to see his power-up clearly.

"Look back to learn how to look forward." - Joe Girard Every year, I look back by doing an Annual Review. This consists of answering these 4 questions: What went well last year? What could have gone better? What are the most important lessons I have learned? Who will I be next year? For ten years I have published an Annual Review on my...
Hello Reader, ChatGPT has me much less enthusiastic about writing and publishing. In the nearly two years since consumer-facing AI chatbot apps have been made available, as a writer, I have found my own interest in writing has been diminishing.
