Happy Friday! What’s the best thing that happened to you this week?
Hard to believe that, as of tomorrow, I’ve been a professional software engineer for one year! Doing a coding bootcamp at Tech Elevator changed my life. I love my job, my company, and my new line of work!
This Sunday, it’s been 6 years since I preached my most controversial sermon: “Getting Ahead in God’s Upside-Down Kingdom.” Preached in Mountain Brook, AL on the Sunday after Trump’s first “travel ban.” joshuapsteele.com/getting-a…

“Every book has a skeleton hidden between its covers. Your job as an analytical reader is to find it.” (Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book)
Hey. Do you ever find it easier to engage with ideas and information than with people? If so, you need to go read Dale Carnegie’s classic “How to Win Friends and Influence People” 📚. Yes, it’s a cheesy title. But it’s full of fantastic advice.

I’m intrigued by the block-vs-page focus of Logseq vs Obsidian. Anyone have opinions on this? Is there an easy way to make Obsidian “block-centric”? I use Obsidian, but sometimes my thoughts feel too fragmented/atomic to live on separate pages. #logseq #obsidian #notes #pkm
