Hello, yes. I am about ten years late on the email newsletter. Yet here we are.
The longer the internet “connects” us, the less I understand it. I continue hunting for the ideal way to share updates & information with people who might want to hear them. How do I keep in touch in a way that’s both contained and convenient? Is this mission possible? Necessary? Worthwhile? Over the years I’ve unsubscribed¹ from so! many! emails! but there are plenty of great ones that introduce me into interesting things, ensure I’m reading the good articles, and bring me work updates along with new ideas.
I’m optimistic this could be as fun as the family Christmas letter my parents let me edit beginning in seventh grade²: a little bit of the pertinent stuff, some light things, some business things — the sorts of stuff we’d be chatting about if life allowed us frequent face-to-face conversations. I love loving things, I love a chance to be helpful with information, and I have more opinions than places to put them. That said, I cannot guarantee up-to-the-minute content³, I like what I like when I like it. But we will have a nice time.
Buckle up! Opt in! Toss this monthly-ish email on the bonfire of your inbox!
lylas,
NOTES
You’ve truly earned my data, unroll.me
I would really love to share this charming & embarrassing artifact of family history but need to keep a lid on what is searchable and indexed to my name.
It is far, far more likely I’ll get around to something everyone else was pumped on seven years ago and recommend The Da Vinci Code out of nowhere.
