I have expressed my concerns about the multiple prosecutions of Donald Trump. Those concerns do not arise from my undying admiration for Donald Trump. In the process of pursuing their hatred for this man, attorneys, prosecutors, and secretaries of State have shown an incredible willingness to trample over the voting rights of the citizens that … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-03-05

The multiple prosecutions of Donald Trump have me gravely concerned. My concern, however, does not relate to Donald Trump. These mostly baseless prosecutions have much broader implications. I will address only three briefly. Politics These legal actions have more of an impact on voters than they do on Donald Trump. Keeping Donald Trump in the … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-23

Have I fallen a little behind in my morning memo? I have just a little bit, but here I go again. I have been collecting a lot of samples of subjects about which I need to write. I don't need more subject matter, but I want to make my newsletter and blog somewhat topical. As … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-19

My pencil was dead so I skipped my morning scribble and proceeded directly to my morning memo. As a result I have given little thought to what I'm about to say, so whatever comes out forgive me for any incoherence. I spent some time yesterday making some design changes to the navigation on The Free … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-15

Yes, it's Super Bowl Sunday, but I need to get my comments out in order to create an ongoing habit. I always need my morning warm-up with my Dragon (my regular readers understand my reference to my Dragon.) Most of my work over the last month and 1/2 I have focused on developing my workflow. … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-11

This morning I have spent a little bit of time trying to iron out some bugs in my workflow. Working with different file formats on different platforms can be frustrating at best or at worst a complete waste of time. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle some of these issues so … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-07

Responsibility I plan to write a longer piece on my other channels about responsibility, but I wanted to take advantage of my daily memo to jot down some ideas I have about the thoughts I want to share on those publications. Our country has become a nation of people who want to avoid responsibility. The … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-06

When I began to get serious about my content publishing, I set up a notetaking system based on the Zettlekasten method. I have realized that I have far more potential content than I have time to publish it all. As a result I have decided to publish the contents of my Zettlekasten for all to … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-02-03

As I stated in yesterday's memo, I'm trying to keep up the practice of doing these posts to practice my dictation. I have learned from several false starts that dictation as a source of input requires much more mental discipline than I had initially conceived. The benefits, however, far outweigh the effort it will take … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-01-31

I realize that it's been well over a month since the last time I posted to my morning memo. I have been wrestling with developing my production process, and that has taken me a lot longer than I originally anticipated. Even though I needed the time to develop my main blog posts and a workflow … Continue reading Morning Memo – 2024-01-30
