From LLLDB to Three Thoughts

Good morning, hope you all had a great weekend. I’ve been thinking about the name of the daily thing I’m doing and “LLLDB” is just too hard to say and remember. So the name is changing to “Three Thoughts”, but will still follow the Liked, Learned and Let’s Do Better format. 

The Tumblr page has moved from http://llldb.tumbr.com to http://threethoughts.tumblr.com.

We’ll still use the #LLLDB hashtag on Twitter, and we’ll keep the daily CrowdChat at https://www.crowdchat.net/llldb.
