I had a great email conversation with Manu the other day where we talked about the digital fatigue he’s been feeling lately. His approach to overcoming it was pretty radical, much more so than I think I’m ready for.
I’d like to take a moment to say thanks to the following people who shared their encouragement, prayers, good thoughts, and positive mojo through what has been hands-down the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced in my life.
Robert Birming (@birming) called me out to respond to his inaugural Micro.blog Question Challenge yesterday. How could I say no to such an interesting way to share a little about myself?

Letting people help us in our time of need helps make them feel good about themselves. Even allowing someone to perform a small task for us can make a big difference when they feel helpless.
Since I’m on the topic of t-shirts and swag, I just published a new design on Cotton Bureau of my take on the classic Mac “hello” graphic with the retro Apple six color palette.
I’m up early this morning. My plan was to get up at 4:00 am, put the turkey in brine and then go back to bed for a few hours. But as my mind is prone to do, I began pondering all the things in my life I’m thankful for.
I took some time off work during the Thanksgiving holiday after grinding on a work project for a really long time. I’ve found myself at a point over the last six months where I just don’t feel effective and needed to figure out why.

Do you love Micro.blog and wish you could represent the platform while you’re out and about at the grocery store, sporting event, work or nerdy conference?
Taking ideas from a few others, I’m going to try something new and start a long form post of things that happened during the week. The goal is a stream of consciousness that gets published with minimal editing. Just write and publish – though some copy editing is allowed…
I remember the first time I touched a computer. I was in my early twenties and worked as a customer service rep for the local water company, which was a fancy way of saying I played in the mud nearly every day.
Here’s another one of those childhood memories that left a scar; literally. This one is about the time I tried to stop my out of control bicycle using a barbed wire fence.

I’m excited to share I’ve released a new version of my Tinylytics for Micro.blog plugin, bringing it to version 3.1.0. You should see an update in your site’s plugins section soon if not already.
