He recalls three… [keep reading]
Dear Muse, Today’s idea comes from a comment on one video from my YT channel. Robert says: “I wonder if you would consider putting all these Beautifully illustrated lessons on a USB stick and offering it for sale, say for $49.95.

Dear Muse, Today, I reflect on an idea from years past—a poignant post I’d written.

Dear Muse, Today I want to talk about the idea of running a house with numerous rooms. I will call it “coliving”, and people would come to experience exactly that, living with other people according to a vision, project, or lifestyle. This wouldn’t be my first time living in a coliving space, but this time… [keep reading]
Dear Muse, Today I want to talk of the idea I’ve been working on these days: I believe it might not be nothing inspiring for a storytelling expression, nevertheless it got passionate.

Dear Muse, Today’s idea might seem just a silly one: an idea for a T-shirt with the writing “BE A MAN / NOT A MILLENNIAL”. That might be welcome as contentious or uselessly provocative or aggressive. And maybe it shows just a little bit of envy or frustration on my side. Nevertheless, who knows that… [keep reading]
