Dzień dobry!

Niestety to już ostatni weekend wakacji. Nie wiem jak Wy spędziliście te dwa miesiące, ale ja ładowałem swoje mentalne akumulatory i jestem przygotowany do jesiennej słoty (i innych problemów chociażby dostawami energii).

We wrześniu PWN wydaje naszą książkę o cyberbezpieczeństwie jaką napisaliśmy wraz z Łukaszem Olejnikiem. Pierwsze recenzje są bardzo fajne, liczymy, że to będzie książka, która stanie się podstawową lekturą na ten temat.

Pracuję również nad kolejnym newsletterem płatnym - tym razem to będzie zbiór "how-to" czyli sposobów na wzrost, marketing, produktywność itd. To będzie spis konkretów, samo "mięso", które zbieram od lat, testuję i z którego sam korzystam.

Kolejna rzecz to słuchowisko o II WŚ w klimacie horroru (powiedzmy wprost - w stylu Lovecrafta :), premiera kolejnej cześci przygód Róży i Maliny (tym razem o e-commerce - przypominam, że jest już dostępne darmowe słuchowisko oparte o tę książkę) oraz zaczynam tworzyć kolejną cześć komiksu z baaardzo ciekawą i znaną osobą :)

Tak więc potrzebowałem tych dwóch miesięcy żeby odpocząć i przygotować się do końcówki roku. Mam nadzieję, że szybko będę mógł Wam pokazywać postępy w moich projektach.
