for the first time in our relationship and her whole life, my partner and I are completely uncommitted for Christmas.
we only found out a few weeks back, and of course, thought "what do we want to do?"
we'd been talking about some kind of travel over the holidays, but of course, it's $$$.

The Wissahickon transit center is a fucking beautiful piece of infrastructure. Honestly, everyone involved deserves a lot of credit.

many months ago, I uploaded a photo of my partner to a website of a science youtuber who promised to send a special photo rig to space to take "space selfies" with the earth in the background.
Marc Rober, you sure as hell delivered. so cool.

Here’s a peek under the hood at how it learns from every action and decision that happens in the system, even going as far as auto-updating SOPS and suggesting new features to improve existing workflows.

yup - my approach has been flat files and git backed by default, database when data integrity matters.
Thanks for the answers!
I like to hear it’s mostly flat files as that’s what I was thinking too for my version

Since October or so, I've been building a piece of custom software that operates as my *dream* exec assistant + a personalized command center.
It's helped me show up better in my work and relationships, and I've learned a LOT along the way that seems worth sharing.

As @danhon.com and most anyone who gets to know me learns, if you need permission, just ask me. I’ll give it. You’ll have it.
@alexhillman.com told me you don’t need permission to be awesome. Just fucking do it.
But if *you* need permission, I got you boo.

my relationship with tech has drifted over the 10-15 years as things became more about hyper-scale and extraction vs creating and collaborating.
this, uh, resonated deeply with me and i hope it resonates with you too:

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Hey Philly!
On 12/6 knock out some holiday shopping at the Last Minute Market!
I'm hosting this market with 20 of Philly's finest local artists.
It's a great place to shop small. No $$ to billionaires here. We're, like, hundredaires around here.
Here's an invite!

Compounding isn't just for money. It's the root of all success. Momentum is way more important than speed.

Each one has earned their spot on that list and stays there.
Each one also has a trusted alternative.
I’m also not afraid to tell a trusted collaborator about someone on the list and what they did to get there.
I thankfully don’t have to do it often, but where this is useful, it’s VERY useful.

I know not everybody likes or agrees with me, and that’s totally fine bc I generally get along really well with the vast majority of people/orgs I’ve ever worked with.
That said, I have a short list of “hard no” collaborators. Literally less than a dozen.
It’s always interesting when they show up!

I miss being on the internet with people making stuff and sharing it.
Not performing or sparring, just like a huge couch hang with your friends while you do your own things but together.
Can we do that again?
