@pjrvs Sweet! 👌

So excited for my friend @pjrvs!

Can't wait to read it!!!

https://twitter.com/pjrvs/status/1079068641675567104?s=21

@pjrvs I haven't seen that yellow cover before!

Is that the paperback?

@davidhemphill 😉

Still working on this.

Hoping to publish it soon.

(I'll send it to http://justinjackson.ca/newsletter first)

@adamwathan @CasJam we R nerdz

⚡ Easy ways to level-up your newsletter:

1. Increase your font size!
2. Use a bold color for hyperlinks
3. Put your photo + name at the top to increase familiarity. ("Oh yeah! I remember signing up for this.")

@CasJam is doing a lot of things right with his emails. 👍

@iChris Also: what build are you considering?

@iChris Is there Skype support?

I think we've overemphasized DIY learning.

Yes, you can learn some things on your own, but a skilled teacher, mentor, or coach can accelerate how quickly you learn.

@iChris better than ecamm?

@iChris will you use streamlabs?

RT @dens: Good thread, esp going into New Years Resolution season https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1069617743215845377

@dens Thanks Dennis! 🙌

@rskopecek yup

@sethlouey Going to sleep 😉

@toptensoftware There are also some things about Windows that still drive me crazy, namely:

- all the crapware that ships with it
- ads inside the OS? WHAT IS THIS?

@toptensoftware Yup. But...

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1078881259034619905?s=21

☝️ @iChris one of us needs to really do a deep dive into this and see if it's realistic.

@mjsamberg Honestly, if @ScreenFlow, @ecammtweets, and @sketchapp all ported to Windows I would seriously think about switching.

@_danielmeade I keep reading reviews like this that make go 😱.

https://twitter.com/alexcornell/status/1034609505013620736?s=21

I've thought about it, but I'd really like to be able to livesteam reliably from it, and I don't think that's possible without an external GPU. 😖 https://t.co/emmMIUTb2k

@owenconti Mostly this stuff: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1078872149924827138?s=21

@kevindfontenot Did you do much dev/terminal work? Feels like it'd be really hard to move that stuff over.

Also, I'd miss:
- @decksetapp
- Ecamm Live
- Ecamm Call Recorder
- Screenflow
- @sketchapp

@donnfelker I like what Microsoft is doing on the hardware side, but Windows is still 😫.

I used to ❤️ Apple hardware, and how well it integrated with MacOs.

Magsafe, MacBook Air, and retina all felt innovative.

But lately, their hardware feels like it's going backwards.

Plus, Apple has always been more expensive, but their price ratcheting is getting ridiculous.

@AkenRoberts Agreed. But I *think* I'd be willing to give that up for better hardware options. Maybe not?

Over the years, whenever I see anything on Tom Petty (docs, articles) I devour it.

This chat between ⁦@Gladwell⁩ and ⁦@RickRubin⁩ has a bunch of new insights I hadn't heard before. 👌 https://overcast.fm/+K89n4MEqc

@jeffrey_way So much truth. 💯

@johnvoncolln Mostly this:

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1078846840009777152

If I could have MacOs on different hardware, I would do it in a second.

Largely:

- I wish I had more options for a desktop PC that I could configure and upgrade myself.
- I wish I had a viable upgrade option for my 2013 MBP.

@dshlvrsn Yup.

@davidhemphill ❤️ yes!!!

There's three things keeping me in the Apple ecosystem:

- MacOs (still better than Linux, and waaaay better than Windows)
- apps (like Screenflow, Ecamm Live) that only work on MacOs
- so much of the dev stuff I do is still easier to do on a Mac

Wish there were other options.

@adamwathan Just wait...

@nbashaw I'd like to see this in something like @nuzzel: "top twitter threads from your friends."

RT @ScribblingOn: The thing about economic independence is that it's the gateway to most other freedoms.

Every business takes time to get going.

BUT...

Some businesses get to scale faster than others.

Why?

It almost always comes down to:

1. Your target market
2. Your brand's positioning
3. The way you built the product
4. The efficacy of your marketing channels

⚡ The main tension with entrepreneurship is that, often, there is a "faster train" you can catch.

But it's hard to get off the train you're on (because it's comfortable, safe, etc...)

Doing a year in review for 2018?

This is the dirty secret about internet marketing.

@kevinleeme Yes! On the Switch. Cool, we'll try that next. Thanks! 🙌

@michaeldyrynda 😂

@delk @madhuprabaker @omni Make sure you update this bit of content. 😉

@SamuelHulick I'm playing it with my kids 😉

The game pacing on Mario Party (especially moving around the game board) is so slow.

Having to wait for other players to roll dice, buy items, go through dialog boxes, etc... takes forever.

Am I missing a better game mode?

@DTLawhon Whoa! Nice. 👌

If you're thinking about 2019, here's a good starting list:

@Jeff_Harbaugh interesting to see a Bones Brigade board appear in this year's Netflix Christmas special ("Christmas Chronicles").

In the film, the main girl character asks for it by name!

@de_henne Looks good!

@Palleas Nice! 🙌

This article is largely about how the future of publishing is email.

However, I couldn't help but notice the similarities to podcasting.

@JoshDoody This is true. That was probably the size of the whole internet in 1991.

@ideasasylum Interesting!

My 9 and 10 year olds were fine with it (but they have older siblings, so they've seen a lot 😅)

@helengriffinjr 😄 haha. Smart. Those Gremlins are nasty!

I was too scared to watch Gremlins in 1984.

Watching it tonight with my boys.

(Hope I'll be ok 😅)

@iChris how can I buy the extended tour

@lovevalgeisler @NotionHQ Nice! Did you just read @mariepoulin's blog post too?

It made me intrigued about Notion.

There are folks who do this purposefully, knowing they'll get away with it.
