Voice was a mainstay for me for a long time. The closest replacement I could find was a service called OpenPhone[1]. It's designed as a VoIP service for small business teams, but I'm finding it works great as a solo voice/tex

I started drinking coffee about 14 years ago. It was a great help at the time-- it helped me focus, wake up, and move. The routine in the morning was the perfect way to start my day. I also over relied on caffeine to get me going. I started
