Ugh - that sucks. :( I feel like I haven't seen as much of it lately as I did a few months ago, but I've also been really busy and haven't been hanging out here that much. I feel like the "new"

lol shoes or spaghetti... It always seems to be that most Steemit content is 1) stupid jokes 2) porn or 3) pontification about Steemit. I guess this post counts as the third :D

Fair points, all. (And yeah - if I had to create original content everywhere, I'd be writing even less than I already do.)

That's sort of been my approach as well. Folks that follow me on twitter or read my blog know they'll usually be getting a specific technical step-by-step tutorial, or perhaps some higher level business

I don't know - I've seen some people have Very Strong Opinions about what content should be here and what shouldn't. That's usually in the context of plagiarism (and understandably so), but I wasn't sure

It's something, but it's not enough. A stylus/Apple Pencil makes it almost usable for things that require a finer degree of precision than my big fat finger can provide, but let's say I'm trying to write

Like you, I want to live on my iPad - but there are some realities that Apple just hasn't come to terms with yet. When I'm programming, I don't want to have to move my hands that much. It's why we live

A bit less sweet. I love mangos, but mango salsa can be a little too sweet for me in the context of dinner (versus, say, dessert.) The cilantro adds just a little bitterness that cuts a little of the sweetness

LIES. ALL LIES.

It's delicious! Give it a try and let me know how you like it!

Thanks for the kind words, and edits! I fixed them :) I used to read a lot of fiction (mostly fantasy/sci-fi), so I guess I was pretty good at writing it for my age. I'd churn through 4-6 books a week,

Wow, great work! So sad. :(

Fancy seeing you here! Welcome, Ben! I look forward to reading your posts! While I'll always love twitter, it's nice to have a place where I don't have to think in 140 characters :D

Thanks! Heat isn't required for this kind of etching. It is usually required somewhere in the process for cutting bottles (like cutting the top part off of a wine bottle to make it into a glass) if you're

You can definitely use clear bottles! You just may need to punch it up with the Rub N Buff. I'm designing stencils for alllll the clear glass in my house. :D

Flattr is a way to tip people for their content, embeddable via javascript widget. It doesn't use cryptocurrency as a backing though (also not sure if it's still around, TBH). ChangeTip was similar, allowing

True story :)

What I'm curious about is whether I need to specialize. I've been experimenting and seeing what people are commenting on, upvoting, etc, and I think that will let it guide me. I know that's weird in a

So it's like ChangeTip (before they shut down :-( )

I feels strange to me to not have a "theme", but that might just be because I've had a traditional blog for so long, that's how this stuff is supposed to work in my head. Right now my posts are
