Kevin Smith and Jason Mews programmed Rage last night! We’re watching now. Self-described “old people music” from the 80s and 90s. The first song was “Because I Got High.” (Of course.)

@VivEgan41 @mindykaling I know, but I still think he’s wrong. Unless he does, in fact, also say “Jraphics.” 🙂

An Introvert’s Guide to Better Presentations — Medium – Following on from that last post, here’s Matt Haughey talking about how he prepares to give talks. I don’t think he’s as much of an introvert as he thinks he is. I have the exact same thoughts when I’m about to get up on stage.
