Welcome to the official website of Jesse Friedman—the innovator, not that Jesse Friedman. For over 26 years, I’ve been a contributing citizen of the internet: inventor, innovator, author, speaker, and writer. I’ve had a lot to say over the years, but I’ve never done a proper exercise to clearly define what I want this blog…
Things I Swear By:
Things I actually use, read, eat, and carry. No paid placements. Occasionally an affiliate link — which helps keep this blog running — but the list doesn’t change based on that. If it’s here, I stand behind it.
There’s something that gets lost between the screen and the eye.
Not the idea—the ideas make it through just fine—but something else. The weight of it, maybe. The sense that someone sat down and made something, and now you’re holding it.
I’ve been thinking about that, and so I’m trying something a little different. Sending my essays in the mail. Real paper. A stamp. The whole thing.
You can read it on the porch, fold it up, spill coffee on it. And if something moves you—a thought, a pushback, a story of your own—you can write back, and if you do, I’ll write back.
