Register Spill

Since April 2023 I’ve been writing a weekly newsletter on Substack called Register Spill.

It sits somewhere in between social media posts and blog posts.

It’s thoughts I can’t keep in my head. I set the timer to 60 min, start writing and hit send. Not a lot of editing, off the cuff. It’s what I’d reply to you with if you’d asked me what’s on my mind this week.

You can subscribe and find the full archive at registerspill.thorstenball.com. Once you’re subscribed you’ll get notified about new posts and have them delivered straight to your inbox.

Here are the last 20 posts I’ve published:
