This is a popular narrative, that you make money or live, but you can’t do both. That is complete BS - it is equally dumb to be on either extreme, but it is very possible to do both. I have several friends who took the ‘live’ route, only to

I recently got the apple watch 7 in 41 mm and I don’t think it is too big. It is about the size of a normal watch. And the smooth corners make it the most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn.

Similar journey, but I went from two down to one 27" 4k. I found that I was getting distracted by all the extra open windows and time spent arranging them. Maybe it is just because I'm getting older, but I've found the key (f

I came here to say this. I studied art in school (but not an art school, so I'm not very good :) but this book was really the core of the curriculum. The exercises and approach radically helped me improved my drawing. The other compone
