Common Measure - First Maxim
I. Never carry that which has wheels. It’s been a while! Nice to see you again. Here’s a reminder to do things the easy way if you can. There are lots of hard tasks that you’re going to have to do in life. If there is an easy way to do something, some technology you can leverage, do it. Save your arm strength for the hard tasks that need it. Magazine update: Thank you so much to everyone who submitted something! We aim to respond to everyone who submitted by the middle of October, and to give you an update on the publication date even earlier than that. I am humbled that so many of you wanted to be a part of Common Measure Volume One! |
