This comes at a very, very opportune time for The Newsprint. I’ll have some news shortly. There’s something about “not giving a damn” that makes hitting the publish button so much easier.

Long story short, it’s cheaper over a 40–year career to pay your mortgage with the most tax-efficient earnings and contribute to your RRSP with the least tax-efficient earnings. I may have to discuss this on Toonie in the future.
I really like Marques’s work here. This is a long, long, long iPhone review, but it’s momentous in a number of ways. It’s in-depth. It’s thorough. And most importantly, it’s derived from experience rather than estimation. I’ve reviewed products for years now and it’s always a rush to get them out the door. If Marques has trailblazed something here, it’s the idea of reviewing based on experience instead of estimation. Great, great work by Marques.
This is Kyle Dreger, perhaps at his very best. I find I write with two different voices. The first is the business voice, which is used in emails and professional correspondence at the office.

Rule #5: Be an interesting person. I think this is the most underrated (or, perhaps, unsaid) factor to the folks behind the biggest audiences in the world. I don’t think there’s room for a boring billion dollar creator. You need to be interesting. You need to be unique. The whole idea that anyone can create a billion dollar audience is false. Not just anyone can do it.
Might take a little while to scroll through this one, but you’ll have fun doing it.
I think “happiness” is more correlated to time wealth than it is to money wealth. But, it takes money to create time. Or, perhaps it takes wealth to create time. Still working on which is which.
“I have a son now. That’s a strange thing to write, even though it was always the logical conclusion of all this.” — Matt Gemmell. I love when Matt gets personal. This piece is everything a new father goes through in the first few weeks after an arrival.
“It’s not the only place for these things, but it’s your place for these things, and that makes all the difference.” — CJ Chilvers.
