The first episode of Another Thing. After years of thinking about it, a chalkboard sign at an art fair finally pushed me over the edge: “be brave enough to suck at something new.”

In this episode I talk about why I wanted to start a podcast, why it took so long, the detours along the way (including an attempt to turn the Weekly Thing into an AI-narrated show), and a story from Dr. John Carlis about being the dumbest kid in the class.

Mentioned in this episode

  • thingelstad.com: my blog, going on twenty plus years
  • Weekly Thing: my newsletter, eight years and counting
  • Dr. John Carlis, former Dean of Undergraduate Studies, University of Minnesota Computer Science

A note on the title

This show is the third “thing” in a small family. There is the blog. There is the Weekly Thing. And now there is Another Thing.
