Today I’ll be talking automation and why we automate things, including the simplest response of “it’s more interesting than doing the same thing 15 times a day”. That seems like such a simple thing to say, but it’s boring to do the same thing every day. It […]

Often the ads are for something I’ve already bought or something I’ve decided not […]
