what is the daily-ish email?

This is paul wheaton's daily-ish email that is usually about permaculture and making a better world through learning good things rather than being angry at bad guys.

what does daily-ish mean?

I send one of these email thing-a-ma-bobs whenever I'm damn good and ready. About every other day. Sometimes a week will pass with nothing and then I send two in one day. Pretty much whenever I think I have some stuff that is substantial enough to share.

free stuff

As part of my devious plots on world domination, I wish to build a massive army. And by "army" I mean people signed up for my daily-ish email. To meet this nefarious goal, I have set up free stuff. We'll try to set up a new free thing to give away every week or two. And people who are already signed up will also get the free thing. There's free stuff we give to everybody, like ebooks or online videos, and then there are free things we give away just a few copies of (usually four copies) like actual paper books and physical DVDs and tickets to workshops or conferences.

(this is the face I make when someone asks me to smile for the camera)

Wilbur the Calf

This space was blank and rather than take the time to fix the page so it wasn't blank, I just added this picture of wilbur the calf.

what does that giberish mean?

Permaculture stuff: I try to put out one new thing a day. A video, a podcast, an article, etc. Sometimes, I go a week or two without anything new. Sometimes I have three new things in one day.

PNW stuff: I find that I travel through Oregon, Washington and Idaho a lot. If I am going to be speaking or looking for video opportunities or just coming through an area, I'll post something here. I suspect that this is something where I won't post anything for a month or two, and then put out two or three posts in a week.

Missoula stuff: Since I live in Missoula, I have stuff to announce here a couple of times per week. It might be an announcement of a presentation I will be giving, or of a new video I have about something in Missoula, or an upcoming workshop I'm involved in.

World domination stuff: Learning how to get my message out more requires me to constantly learn - so sometimes I ask people "go to this website, click on X, and we'll see what happens when a bunch of us do that." While most of this sort of thing happens in the tinkering forum, some folks don't wanna check into the tinkering forum every day. So this makes for an easy way to let folks know that we are attempting to do something. I suspect that a month will pass without anything on this list - and then I'll send out one or two in a week.
