Let’s see what was I blogging about in 2018.
At the beginning of 2018 I’ve started sharing TWIL – This Week I Learned posts and continued posting them the entire year.
Every week I read a bunch of articles, watch videos, chat with people, discover new websites, tools, games, books and then some. This amounts to a lot of new information to absorb. So I figured why not write it down and make a summary every now and then to keep track of it all? That’s TWIL in a nutshell.
There is a lot of them, so just a few examples:
