Hi, I couldn't figure out how to address a message directly to Paul, I guess he needs to insulate himself most of the time, but it just occurred to me: Has he ever made a TED talk? Or considered doing do? Those things get a lot of mileage, and may intersect a readership that he has less contact with. I'm thinking principally about the "3 things" message, and its hangers-on.

Regards, I used to receive the daily-ish emails, but found they were stealing my time and preventing me from doing any work!

But I love his ideas, and check back from time to time.

I would come to a workshop some summer, but am getting old and also have no money.

Oh, one of my favorite jokes, y'all have probably heard it already, concerns a daring art robbery at the Louvre. And the thieves made it successfully out to their getaway van with their loot, but then the Surete (or whatever) found them, they hadn't gotten away! And the police  asked them, "What went wrong?"  And the driver responded, "We had no Monet, to buy Degas, to make de Van Gogh!"

Bad, huh?

I should be punished.

He watches the Tinkering forum.

Just the highlights

Sometimes there are work trade opportunities for his events.  There would be a thread around here somewhere if it's happening this year.

I like your art thief joke, its funny

Yeah, Paul doesn't have purple moosages activated, because he doesn't have time to read all the ones he would get.  I learnt that when I wanted to send him a thank you for inspiring me message.
