I help medical publishers, news sites, and businesses create outstanding print and web content. Used to have 300 followers, now I don't.

Here is my six step plan:
1. Journalism prof tells you to join Twitter in 2009
2. Sign up, don't use it
3. Work odd jobs for a few years
4. Land a media job in 2011, still don’t use Twitter
5. Use it in 2018 when launching biz
6. Make viral tweet about only having 300 followers
Good morning! I hope this highly engaged and excited group is registered to vote. If not, you can do that here:
Please vote in every election. Local elections have an outsized impact on your day to day lives and it's important to have a say.
The DMs I'm getting are funny. I have to continue ignoring this for now, but I'll just say Barack Obama's account followed everybody who followed him back in like 2008. I don't have a magical in with a former president lol
I think I need to call it a night.
I was kind of worried this morning because I had a lot of deadlines and couldn't really watch what was happening. But you've been very nice and this viral moment has been oddly wholesome.
It was wonderful getting to know you. Goodnight!
Another whirlwind day. 5,000ish of you followed today—welcome! I hope I can get to know as many of you as possible. Like yesterday, everyone seems great and this has been very wholesome.
It feels like things are tapering off. Truly, this has been wild. I am still working (Thursdays tend to be longer days), but I just wanted to thank everyone again for making the past few days a lot of fun.

I think I’ve responded to everyone. First, thank you to all for the actual offers of work based on a dad joke. It will never stop being funny or weird to me that I became popular on here for no reason.
After doing some calling around, it seems two things are true
1) Even if I contacted daycares the second we realized my wife was pregnant, we might not have gotten in
and
2) The cost of sending him for one year is more than I made at my first full-time job out of college
Gus has bells on the back door to let us know when he needs to go out. He gets a treat when he comes back in.
I don't always watch him out there when I'm working. I think he's figured out he can just hang outside for a little bit and then get a treat. He's got me well trained.
Submitting COVID-19 rapid tests for reimbursement
Health insurance wants a printed version of the reimbursement form I filled out online, an itemized receipt from the retail outlet, and barcodes from the product
So I guess I'm still out a stamp every time I want to do this
Hey there. In about a week, my wife and I are going away to visit some family we haven't seen since before the pandemic started. During this time, I will be completely gone from social media and not checking email. There are a lot more of you now, so I figured I'd let you know.
While we wait for the consequences of that decision to unfold: Hi everyone! I have a decent bit of work to do so I can't check this much.
Side note: If you sent a LinkedIn request or submission on my site, I'm not ignoring you—it's just me so it'll take a little to sort through.
A former roommate went from working at a bike shop and drinking beer to owning that bike shop. He's since parlayed that into opening his own microbrewery inside the shop.
This is apropos of nothing, I just think it's pretty cool.
A year ago, I tweeted out this dad joke and went to bed thinking nothing of it. Woke up the next morning absolutely baffled that it had taken Twitter by storm and I had thousands of new followers.
Thanks for sticking around for the dumb jokes and dog pictures
In 1994, my grandma retired and wrote a memoir. She wanted to publish it but never did
I had time during the pandemic to edit it in Pages, put in photos
Sent it to the printer
The proof is sitting on my kitchen table right now
Ordered one for her, she has no idea it’s coming
When you're in a car with Google voice to text and someone sends you the Wordle, it reads out all the different colored squares. Yep, every one.
If you see a text from someone while driving and you think it's going to be the Wordle, don't tap it
This has been a PSA
Feeling bad about leaving the dog in his crate for like an hour while I go to the doctor when he spends most of his day in there with the door open anyway
My mom passed away 10 years ago this week. It's hit me harder than I thought
Our relationship was complicated. I love her, miss her. She would have struggled over the last decade, as many have
But she'd be proud her sons are living happy lives. Maybe that's all that matters
I gave my brother access to my PlayStation Network account so occasionally it looks like I'm playing Dark Souls III at like 9 in the morning instead of working
