I’ve been fostering kittens for the past month. I started with three, and two have already been adopted. The last one — a female I’ve named Kali — is still with me. She is very cute. They were an unintended litter, and the owner couldn’t afford to keep them. So…

I haven’t been freelancing for long, but I’m already learning a ton of lessons — one of which is spotting the warning signs of a project packed with problems. Even if the project sounds fun, there are a few, small triggers that tell me a lot about what it would…

Please note: Articles about spending money always come from a certain context, and often come from a certain place of privilege. Mine is no different. My privilege is that I’m a white male who grew up in a middle class home, with a parent who had a full-time, well-paying job…

A question I often get asked is: How do you get so much done? Or, a variant of that: How do you find the time to do all the things you’re interested in? The short answer is: I make the time. There is a longer answer as well, and that’s…
