I started a newsletter!
I wanted a place to write medium-length content that was less ephemeral than a tweet but more conversational than a blog. I’ll cover everything from web dev and nerd stuff to family and culture. I’d be honored if you subscribed: onlygoodtakes.com
This is also everyone who watched “You Can See Everything” talking to any other person who watched it.
The variety of interpretations is staggering. Everyone has a DIFFERENT thing they are sure a scene was saying.

I got in trouble when I was 14 for stealing third base. We were demolishing the other team and I was on second after having doubled. The pitcher was flustered and in his head. His eyes wandered and I saw an opportunity. I was basically at third before he even noticed. My coach chastised me in front of the whole team at the end of the inning. Still don’t know how I feel about it.

Outcome: I’m addicted to 60¢ ramen packets. This stuff is so dang good. 🤗
