Web Comics, Dreams, & Westrum Organizational Culture

[r002]

Wednesday

Discovered Denise Yu today. So good. It's so surreal at times to find other people who share many of the same interests (topics, podcasts, activities, thought-lines) as yourself. But I guess the internet is big so such is inevitable! Still, it always breaks my brain a bit every time this happens. Discovering her, Ben Congdon, Maggie Appleton, swyx, and Paul Robertson have definitely been highlights this year. At some point, I'm going to add a Blog Roll feature to StudyDash. (I've added it to the Road Map! Poor Road Map. Every time one feature gets implemented and crossed out, three new ones get added... 🙄)

Dreams:

Once upon a time, I loved web comics like Apple Geeks, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, MegaTokyo, and Penny Arcade. And growing up, I worshipped Calvin and Hobbes. At some point though, I put aside those aspirations thinking it was time to "grow up" 😔.

However-- "It's never too late to be what you may have been", goes the old saw. If I can find it, I'm going to scrounge up the old Cintiq and get back into it.
