Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-06-21
Looking back at the week with an eye to the future.
This week went by in a flash. I hosted an event this morning too.
Regular readers know I normally work out of The Vault in Beaufort, NC USA. While the parking is not free, the view is legit and weather was nice this morning.
In fact, I’m considering making this event a weekly occurrence. I’ve already created the event for next week.

This week, I also published a full week of “Free Preview” posts for Hot Fudge Daily on Fudge Sunday.

Hot Fudge Daily Digest (2024) by Jay Cuthrell
A weekly digest of Hot Fudge Daily
Again, I’ll likely collapse fudge.org content that is exclusively newsletter content into hot.fudge.org for ONLY newsletters and reclaim fudge.org as a blogging platform. We shall see.
For Hot Fudge Daily, I changed to a $9.99 yearly subscription since Stripe taking 1/3 of $0.99 monthly revenue in the prior fee structure. 🤯🧐💸
