The Bulletinfor 6th July, 2024 Hey you, Sorry this is a couple hours late, the platform I use to send these emails was down for a bit. Everything seems to be fine now, though, so we're back in business! Well, this past week has been filled with unexpected changes. I'm seeing a guy now for the first time in many years, and I've been really happy about where things are. I've endured a lot these past few months, and it feels like things have finally started looking up. Thank God. I had dinner...

The Bulletinfor 29th June, 2024 Hey hey hey, This week, I returned to carrying two phones: one Android phone, one iPhone (paired to an Apple Watch). Best of both worlds, if you will! This will allow me to test everything without needing to keep moving SIM cards back and forth, which has proven to be an annoying first world problem these past few years. Regardless, I'll probably do a thing on my setup at some point, but for now screenshots are at the end of this email! Either way, as I write...

The Bulletinfor 22nd June, 2024 Oh hey there, Thanks for tuning in again this week! I have a handful of small updates for you (sorry, wish it was the big stuff but that'll have to wait!) So, let's get those out the way first: New email address: That said, you'll notice the new email address this has been sent from. I A/B tested it last week, and it seems to have been signed and secured correctly. If you have any issues (e.g. this email hits the spam folder, etc.) please let me know! There are...

The Bulletinfor 15th June, 2024 Hey y'all, WWDC 2024 was filled to the top with some insane announcements that I wasn't expecting. But importantly, I got a ton worked on this week. I think you'll be seeing some stuff from me soon... what that is, I can't tell you yet, but get excited! It's worth the wait! Promise. Other than that, I might go back to Android, but that's a conversation for another time. (Adam might kill me, but it's fine.) Anyways, I love quiet and because it has been quiet...

The Bulletinfor 8th June, 2024 Well, It has certainly been quite the week. Chaotic, busy, stressful, you name it -- I've probably experienced that feeling. But all-in-all, I think it was a fairly good week. At least for the most part. We unfortunately had to pack up early due to inclement weather from the Cambridge Valley Balloon Festival (we weren't the only ones!), but not to worry, there are two more (smaller) events you can catch my mom at. Those are below in the usual spot. As for me,...

Howdy y'all, Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by my mom's booth at Mayfest in Bennington, VT today!

The Bulletinfor 19th May, 2024 Hey: Sorry for the Bulletin being a day late. I've been traveling and the time got away from me. I didn't have time to really put anything together until now. We'll be back to the regular schedule on Saturday at 8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific/Sunday at 1AM BST (UK time). It was a nice trip, though! Got to visit my friend Valoria for the first time, then swing up to spend my usual week with Christian and his family. Today, I actually went with his mother and little...

The Bulletinfor 11th May, 2024 Hey everybody, I was thinking that I'd step away for a little while longer from producing The Bulletin, but I decided I missed it enough to put it together again. Still no social media for this guy (for the most part), but we can at least have this little corner of the internet for sharing stuff in the meantime. Going forward, I'll also be publishing Bulletins on bulletin.sladewatkins.com/posts so you can get the whole archive at any time, no subscription...
