Before you commit

Blogging

  • Flat analytics after weeks of effort would make you quit.
  • You need quick replies and back-and-forth, not solitary sentence-crafting.

Paper Planes

  • The best designs need precise, careful folding.
  • Tuning for straight flight takes a little patience.
  • A casual pastime more than a deep, lasting craft.
