We live so much of our lives being afraid. Afraid to try. Afraid to speak. Afraid to be different.

But if we give into that fear, we’ll be left with something worse: regret.

So do that thing, write that email, and be yourself. Even if you fail, you’ll be grateful you tried. ❤️

“I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

– Steve Jobs

Remember when we made cool webpages that showed what we were up to all over the Internet? I whipped one up over the holidays: joemc.xyz

It includes what I’m listening to, tweeting, reading, and writing. What else should I add?

Sometimes it hits me that I get to sit at my desk, write software, listen to music, and get paid for it. Today is one of those days. Feeling incredibly lucky and grateful.

I think this new knife will do just the trick for chopping through the Amazon.

…boxes. (Note to self: read the size more carefully next time)
