ArtbyJah's artwork - find it on Lens

I keep trying to write this newsletter and find a topic for my intro, but unfortunately, during one of our team brainstorming sessions, someone wrote:

_“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ 

And honestly, I have not been able to get it off my head, causing a major writer’s block. 

I start writing about my Catskills work and holiday week and suddenly…. “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato” 

I listen to Alex Cooper’s insane story on how she got catfished (and then some) in Paris and my thoughts go…. _“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ 

I try to answer an e-mail, work on strategy, do laundry, make a salad but my mind keeps coming back to _“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ 

So I have decided to let _“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ get all of my attention, I have stopped fighting it, and so should you, if you happen to get _“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ phrase to move rent-free to your head. 

I did manage to find the good stuff going around Lens this week, though. So enough of _“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”_ and let’s dig into some content.
