The fun never ends. So this week, for the first post-paywall AMA, I want to try something new. Substack has a chat application, and I’d like to see how it works and whether we should make use of it regularly as a means of interaction. So today, instead of just opening the comment thread and swinging by at 2 p.m. ET to answer questions, I’ll also post up in chat for an hour or so, and mix it up with whoever happens to be online then. Note, I’m losing my facility for new tech at an alarming rate, so my entrance might be less than graceful. But I think how it works is: I’ll send a reminder a few minutes before we begin, and then it’ll function like a Slack or Discord room for paid subscribers. A great way to have fun while appearing to be productive! If you can’t participate or it isn’t your thing, no sweat, I’ll answer comment questions as well.

On my mind this week:
