A Very Slow Takeoff...

Oh, 2020 started already?

Hey folks, sorry for the tardy start to 2020, a year in which I have far too much on my plate, and have had too much random zemblanity coming at me in the Life 🤬😖😬 Happens department.

Which means the projects where I have the murkiest intentions/commitments to myself, like this one, are getting the most derailed. I last sent out a newsletter/podcast on Dec 6, so it’s been like 7 weeks. I’m still not yet ready to get going with this year’s breaking smart (breaking slow?), and this is mostly just a quick Hello-2020 newsletter.

For the next few months, I’m going to slow this thing down to once a month, while I rebalance activities and commitments. For this week, no original content, but here’s some stuff from other channels you guys may like.

• First, I went on the Unregistered podcast with Thaddeus Russell, mainly to talk about my current research on time and temporality. It’s 90 minutes, so you’ve been warned.

• Second, my post last week on ribbonfarm, The Internet of Beefs, went pretty viral, and has strong overlaps with Breaking Smart themes, so you may want to check that out.

I’ll be back with new stuff hopefully in a few weeks, around February end. It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and brainstormed how to evolve this thing, and I need to do that too, since this thing has admittedly mission-creeped and drifted quite a bit over the years, not to mention gone into deep denial about Season 2, which has supposedly been in the works since 2015 and is now over 3 years late. It’s like a military contract project at this point. I know many of you would like to know if/when it’s ever coming out. I would too 🤡🥁.

But we’ll get this show back on the road properly at some point.
