Writing long-form content with AI shouldn't be this painful.

I still remember sitting in that conference room six months ago, wondering how our "foolproof" holiday campaign had managed to implode so spectacularly. We had the budget, a solid timeline, and measurable goals, yet we still missed our targets by a painful margin.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. According to the PMI Pulse of the Profession Report, only about 35% of projects fully deliver on their initial promises. The majority fall somewhere on the spectrum between "partial success" and "complete disaster."

As a project manager with over a decade of experience in marketing, I've seen the same patterns emerge time and again. The surprising truth? Most project failures aren't due to lack of talent, budget constraints, or even unrealistic deadlines (though those certainly don't help).

Frozen pipes are a homeowner's worst nightmare. When water freezes, it expands and can burst pipes, causing thousands of dollars in damage. Winter is prime time for this plumbing disaster. As temperatures drop, the risk of frozen pipes goes up.

Some homes are more likely to have frozen pipes than others. Older houses with poor insulation, homes in colder climates, and properties with exposed pipes are most at risk. But even newer homes can have problems if pipes are in unheated areas like attics or crawl spaces.

The good news is, there are ways to protect your pipes from freezing. With some know-how and a little planning, you can keep your water flowing, and your pipes intact, all winter long.

When I first start working with new puppy parents, leash pulling is one of the most common issues they mention. That tight leash, the constant tugging, and sometimes even those little choking sounds can be frustrating for both of you.

Puppies pull on leashes because it's what comes naturally to them. When they feel tension, they instinctively pull against it, much like they might during play with littermates. It's not misbehavior - it's just being a dog.

But letting this habit continue isn't good for anyone. A pulling puppy can yank you off balance, run into traffic, or approach unsafe situations before you can stop them.

Markdown has become an increasingly useful tool for content creators, developers, and writers. This lightweight markup language offers a simple way to format text without the complexity of traditional HTML. As more platforms adopt Markdown support, understanding its capabilities can help you produce attractively formatted content in a lot less time.

This post will explore the ins and outs of Markdown, comparing it with HTML, summarizing its various flavors, and highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.

Defining Markdown Language

Markdown was created by John Gruber in 2004 with a straightforward goal: to be an easy-to-read and easy-to-write plain text format that could be converted into structurally valid HTML.

I've spent over fifteen years examining the Shakespeare authorship question, and I'm still captivated by its complexity. While browsing through the Folger Shakespeare Library archives last summer, I found myself wondering yet again: could the greatest playwright in the English language have been a woman?

The Shakespeare we know from Stratford-upon-Avon has long been accepted in mainstream academic circles as the true author of the plays and sonnets bearing his name. The documentary evidence seems straightforward enough—his name on the publications, contemporary references, legal documents. Yet something has always felt incomplete about this narrative to me.
