Caught a piece on Asia's shrinking rice paddies this morning while waiting for chai. My grandfather farmed the same way, and it's strange to think how fast those fields are changing. #AsiaNews

Early in my career I thought working harder was the answer. It wasn't. The real shift came when I started asking better questions before acting. Clarity beats effort almost every time.

Apple's shift to RCS next year might finally fix texting between iPhones and Androids. But will it really improve things or just add another layer? What do you think?

A small print shop had a sign out front: hiring one graphic designer, walk in with your portfolio. No portal, no recruiter, no thirty-step application. I stood there for a second just taking it in.
