An amazing trick to remember names and faces

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’ve told you a few times about my new Ripple Recall app, and I’ve mentioned how it can help you remember names and faces. All flashcard apps can do that to some degree, but I’ve built a neat little feature in that can help a lot more. To start, you first need to understand the […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve talked about the Anki flashcard app a lot on here over the years, and for good reason. If you’re not familiar with it, this post from a few years ago is a good summary. As of today, I’ve used it every day for 8 years (2,923 days in a row); consistent since June 6, […]

AI is impossible to master

Reading Time: < 1 minuteIf anyone has claimed to completely master AI, they’re either mistaken or lying.

Letting things build

This week I put together a reading list for my digital aura series. I recall starting to write around Thanksgiving — but when I looked back at my reading, I’d started reading for it months earlier.
