I started a newsletter of Interesting Things

As I alluded in my status update, I’ve been setting up an email newsletter. Finally it’s ready and I posted the first issue last Friday.

I’ve named it Interesting Things because it’s a curation of interesting stories and links from tech, indie business, science, and adjacents. Basically, stuff that I find interesting.

Here’s what I wrote about it:

Interesting Things is mainly developer-oriented since it’s a curation of stuff that I read. However, there’s enough things that, I hope, there’s something for everyone.

I try to stay away from stories which are somewhat political.

I tend to omit things which have already been rehashed by tech news websites. Instead, I prefer stories from the trenches/coalface/grassroots of people actually doing stuff.

Since I dabble in side projects, there’s also stories about the business of technology. But again, not mainstream news nor big tech. More ‘indie’ (for lack of a better word).

I include some science stories since I think technical-oriented people are casually interested in science. I know I am.

I hope you’ll like Interesting Things. You probably don’t have the same set of interests that I do, but hopefully, you’ll find some good stuff here.

Also, don’t forget to subscribe. It’s free.

If you subscribe, you won’t miss out on any of Interesting Things. Even if you only read Interesting Things on the web, the subscription will notify you when a new issue comes out (and then you can delete the email).

And I confess … If you subscribe, then I know how many people are reading. This is important to me.

So if you read Interesting Things, please subscribe.

Thank you!

For various reasons (which I may explain in a future post), I chose to use Substack.
