5 Takeaways and 3 Criticisms from the Blog Every Day Challenge

Gratuitous picture of the author My Blog Every Day Challenge was a success, I think. With the obvious exception of weekends, when I was often doing the things that I’d blog about the coming week, I put out a post (almost) every day. After taking a week off, I’ve distilled my learning below. 1. Sometimes [...]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Atheists

UPDATE: The original post at Nonprophet Status has made it to the front page of WordPress.com. WOOHOO!

It’s called “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Atheists“, [...]

The lies inherent in my nature films, Part 1

In this respect, the web has been both gift and curse. The immense popularity of Remember the Milk,  Stickies (in many formats), and Evernote [...]

7 job interview tips inspired by Twitter

So…how many followers do you have? Mark Mann over at Denvelopers asked me to construct an interesting list. At the time, I was deep inside a job search. Inspired by that process and the ways in which I’ve seen Twitter rise to prominence, this is what I came up with. Keep it short Whether it’s [...]

NOTE: This is a modified “for public consumption” version of my world-famous (yeah right) email newsletter. A slightly less-edited version is available – just write me! Hello friends, Mung beans are about $1.19 in the bulk food aisle at Whole Foods. You can take these beans and sprout them in a Mason jar. A pound [...]

Guest post at Enjoy Raw Food

Salad from Crestock Stock Photos I never said that posting every day meant doing it here at timbrauhn.com. Head on over to Mark’s Enjoy Raw Food for “Blender power”, my first guest post on his blog. It’s about blenders. I like turtles. *** This post is part of the “Blog Every Day Challenge“, which I have [...]
