Articles worth reading (both old but pure gold)

Long before MrBeast this happened:

BuyMyLastName: Why I Sold My Last Name For Nearly $100,000 in 2012 and 2013: “My idea was that I would legally take the last name of the high bidder (after a 30-day auction). So if SpaceJam.com won the auction, I would legally become Jason SpaceJamDotCom for one year.” (Link)

The best article if you wanna be a successful writer, I always read it before publishing. Scott Adams is a genius:

“The Day You Became A Better Writer:I went from being a bad writer to a good writer after taking a one-day course in “business writing.” I couldn’t believe how simple it was. I’ll tell you the main tricks here so you don’t have to waste a day in class.”(Link)

What I am reading

We Learn Nothing: Essays by Tim Kreider (Amazon Link)

“Tim Kreider’s writing is heartbreaking, brutal and hilarious—usually at the same time. He can do in a few pages what I need several hours of screen time and tens of millions to accomplish. And he does it better. Come to think of it, I’d rather not do a blurb. I am beginning to feel bad about myself.”
– Judd Apatow

Quote of the week

“I don't like work–no man does–but I like what is in the work–the chance to find yourself. Your own reality–for yourself not for others–what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.”

― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Give 3 random people a “High Five” and yes it can be awkward.
