Letters with Kev, November 2023 [#1]
For the PenPals project this month, I’m corresponding with Kev Quirk. You can follow along with our conversation both here on my site, and his site at kevquirk.com.
Here’s a glimpse into our first exchange, as summarized by ChatGPT:
Kev and Jarrod embark on a collaborative penpal project, sparking a conversation around Jarrod’s newsletter hosting concerns. Kev shares insights into Buttondown and Micro.blog, highlighting the tension between control and convenience. The dialogue extends to diverse topics, encompassing their personal backgrounds, the challenges of farmhouse renovations, and a shared passion for blogging. Kev, in his late 30s and residing in North Wales, provides glimpses into his life managing a 200-year-old barn, a variety of animals, and a demanding cybersecurity career. The exchange reflects the excitement of newfound digital camaraderie, connecting through shared interests and genuine curiosity about each other’s experiences.
If you’d like to be a penpal for this project, please reach out! I’d love to get you on the schedule.
