Oh whoa I really need to update my bio on my blog.
I know I won’t be able to finish another book before the year changes over, so: I used Goodreads to track 83 books in 2018. There are a few I re-read that I didn’t note, and several I abandoned and didn’t track.
I know I won’t top this in 2019.
So, I have news.
As of this week, I’m co-director of App Camp for Girls!
I feel like the thoughts I post to micro.blog need to be profound, rather than the random brain drip I post to Twitter. I think it’s in the framing: a short blog post (exists for its own merit) versus a social media post (exists to spawn interaction).

Daily gratitude: 1. Chaos to remind me of calm. 2. New iPad to help me get work done. 3. Public transportation to get me from place to place without driving.
I’m trying really hard not to look at election results coverage until tomorrow. It won’t help and will only give me flashbacks to the horror of 2016.
thinking about how to help apps succeed. Is there a way to rank these four very broad categories?
- App Store (search, ads, editorial feature)
- Media (features/mentions on news and special interest sites)
- Word-of-Mouth (including social media)
- Paid Advertising
