Town Hall #9: Listen

Subscribe to Taylor's Town Hall via email.

Listening is a skill.

To digest and reflect your universe is no small feat.

Let curiosity guide you.

Watch your mind. It compels itself to spread and share. Your thoughts clamor for recognition.

Your heart leaps on stage to put its depth on display. Do they understand? Do they really understand?

To become a listener, wrest attention from yourself. Observe that others yearn for the same spotlight. Encourage and applaud all efforts. Be a good audience; enjoy the show.

scrapscript

I designed a new programming language!

Scrapscript is a tiny functional language for sharable software.

I think I stumbled upon some cool new ideas, so let me know what you think!
