 Life finds a way to shoot you in the butt with a dart filled with consequences no matter how fast you run, and this month, I had a very sore butt. Hi - I messed up. It's personal, but it's a big ol' ef-up that flashbanged away a fairly large part of some built-up good will and comfort. In short, I did a pretty big, pretty selfish thing that had me wedged into that valley between regret and pride, and the geyser of truth finally flooded me out of the valley. Metaphors. Which is all to say that I had far larger dealies to deal with this month than most of my projects. However, the wheels are back on the bus, the engine has some oil in it again, I've taken some fraction of the lashings I deserve, and my support system has offered me forgiveness at a respectable price. Progress is progressing on that front, thus, I feel well enough to move ahead on pet projects again.  Very cool pins from You Can't Go Back in the UK. Okay, so , what do I usually do here, again? Something about lemons, I think? Yes, truly there is nothing more pure than lemons and their million-and-one uses. One use is making YouTube shorts every day for eternity...or until my 2026 pallet is full, which is a greatly tedious activity to do in volume. I talked a little about Youtube last month being a spikey pill last month, but in looking at the numbers for non-Pan shorts, the Simple Instructions vids I've put out have done consistently bonkers above the longer forms. Like an exaggeration-free 100X better - and the Ads did three-times better than the Instructions in 2025 and '26 thus far. That's keyword targeting at its finest, folks. "Number go up" is almost always nice, and this year will show if I'm truly in my "lane" as it were with where I'm focusing for the shorts. I'm kicking around another idea-in-a-can for Youtube content, but that 100-percent, uncut Cope-ium until some other piles are swept up. So, how about those other lemon uses?  Well, this thing exists now! And yeah, yeah, I said I'd do an intro this month, but see the first few paragraphs of lemon-splaining to understand why that was pushed a little. The demo isn't quite ready either, so nothing much is ready for showtime. March-April will see the demo come to the store if all plans remain loosely chained together, then we'll bring out the writing brain to periscope into that cavernous slit.
Oh, and please do wishlist. I don't care if you intend to buy (yet) but wishlisting is how to get revenge on God for...well, you know what happened. Elsewhere has been slow-going and shall need more time to bake to be anything of note. The edges of my mind are covered in writing ideas and projects to complete, so...on we march with new knowledge, new lessons, new scars, and new uses for lemons. God bless lemons, everyone.
