A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!
Edition: Friday, February 24th, 2023
🎤 Listen to this email here:
I love this old Atari ad, it has a great headline:
“Don’t watch TV tonight. Play it!”
This was a great headline in 1978 when “Playing the TV” was a totally new and novel concept!
Things that seem weird to teach kids today:
- Cursive writing
- Reading an analog clock
Cursive was designed to reduce ink splatter from quil pens. This is no longer a problem, so I'm not sure why kids should learn to write English in two different ways:
🤔🤔
Circular clocks were simplest way to keep time with the stored energy from a wound up spring. This is no longer a problem.
Your phone, your watch, your computer....can all tell time with digital layouts:
These can still be “fun and interesting” things to teach children, but they are outdated and shouldn’t be required (in my opinion).
Seems like that brain space could be better applied to more modern problems!
This book is now worth $1,000+ each 🤯
I own 4 original copies of this book...so you're looking at a man holding $4k worth of books 😉
The reason it's so expensive is I posted this Instagram Reel video 3 months ago about how much I love this book, and since then it's gained tons of steam with 800k+ views, now every original copy of this book is 100% sold out!
Me and some friends got together an "Austin Texas Internet Meetup" last night!
My friend Nick Gray "conducted" the party, and did several rounds of quick ice-breaker style intros:
He even did "scene changes" for the party and we all went outside then came back inside twice 😂
He also picked several people to give 45 second "Lightning Talks" about different subjects they're interested in:
My friend Sam's dog Sid came....he's kind of an old boi (13 years!) and I was surprised he snuck up on the couch while we were all outside 😂
If you had an extra ~$1,000 per month to spend on your business, where would you spend it?
I asked Twitter and here were some responses:
In the end it seems like a good use for an extra $1k/mo would be on ads going to my email newsletter, or talking to 1 or 2 advisors per month!
I hope you have a very happy Friday!!
BY THE WAY...If I added a section to this email where I either place a sponsor or promote a product I personally use (software, books, household products etc)...would you mind??
I would call the section "Sponsored" or "Splurge" or "Spend" (open to suggestions).
Reply to this email and let me know if you'd care or not!
I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
