This site is for those short moments where you might reach for the all too depressing news or doom scroll social media. 

Instead of that burst your bubble with a random story. 101 stories about odd corners of history and science. A woman who danced until she died and took 400 people with her. The man who survived both atomic bombs. That kind of stuff. This site is for learning about something completely different and having some fun along the way.

Big Weather is a hand-crafted, beautiful weather app exclusively for the Mac menubar.

I've decided to join the $100, 30-day challenge to becoming an indie hacker. The challenge is a great way to set constraints when validating a product and growing to profitability as quickly as possible. When building my first project, I spent $4,000 manufacturing a new physical product (failed). My second project, I spent 12 months working relentlessly to build a product that wasn't validated (failed). This time, I plan to be meticulous about the way I allocate resources. By choosing to stick to a simple concept, I've created a clothing label for passionate makers like myself, called Maker Threads. There's certainly nothing innovative about a clothing label, but I'm excited to already see promising results in comparison to my past projects. Current breakdown: Spend: $35 (Shopify monthly fee) Revenue: $44 If you're a maker who's ready to get serious about monetizing your product, I'd recommend joining the challenge to see what you can achieve If you've previously taken the 30-day maker challenge, I'd love for you to comment below and share your learnings throughout the process.
