I didn’t do much beside regular work this week. I underestimated the size of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, so I’m still reading it, and it’s great. I knew almost nothing about the US in that era, so this is a very good history lesson, and learning about the life of such great man, which Benjamin Franklin surely was. Didn’t even manage to start the other books.

I wrote more than usual, and plan to hit at it a bit more from now on. Here are the posts I wrote and published this week:

There is one more pretty large feature scheduled to go out next week, so I’ll probably be under a heavy load too. That stuff gets planned in Wunderlist, which I really love using more and more, for private and business use.
