What I Learned From My Newsletter

As I approach the end of my paid tenure here at Medium, I wanted to write something around the success of my newsletter Where’s Your Ed At. This isn’t to toot my own horn — it’s already a success, I do not need the validation there — but to try…

My Secret Is That I Don’t Want To Work Too Hard

Sometime in the next day or two, my newsletter Where’s Your Ed At will hit 14,000 subscribers, which is roughly 300% more than I had a year ago. I have put out 180,000 words across 80 articles, and I have been on top of most of the major trends in…

Musk Doesn’t Understand The Internet

When I was 11, my dad got a PCMCIA for his laptop. Out of an abundance of trust, he let me access the internet, trawling forums, mIRC rooms, and eventually early online games like Ultima Online and EverQuest from a very young age. While one might say “this seems risky,”…

The Apple Watch Comes Of Age

I am on my third Apple Watch. I have wanted to like Apple’s approach to wearables, and through two different tries — a Day 1 Series 1 and a Series 3 — I found the experience to be continually clunky, ugly, and constantly in search of a problem that one…

If In Doubt, Don’t (And If You’re Not, Perhaps You Should Be)

I’ve been through a lot recently. I’m not going to describe it in any detail, but at one point, my father gave me some advice that I believe came from his father: if in doubt, don’t. This magical rule applies almost everywhere, but in this case, as with many things…

The Future Of Sport Is On Two Screens

A year ago, during the Dodgers-Giants game in the ALDS, my friend Kasey turned to me and asked if I was alright. It wasn’t that anything was wrong, per se, but that I was rapidly cycling through watching the game intently, then grabbing my phone and furiously tapping out something…
