My 1,000th post: Here’s what I need to get better at

1000th Post

393 days after my first post on this blog, this is my 1,000th post. That means, give or take, that I’ve written 2.54 posts a day for the past year and change. That’s cool, especially because I don’t usually write… Continue Reading

Why do I always say “ground and pound” on Facebook?

Here’s a personal story I feel like writing about

Last summer I tried to start blogging via Tumblr. It was a pretty unsuccessful endeavor. I did get a chance to experiment with some different post formats, though; that ultimately led to this blog, which is something I’m (mostly) proud… Continue Reading
