Just finished Rejection by @tonytula.com

Very raw and unfiltered, ultra millennial and raised-on-the-internet take on identity and sexual self ego. Loved the first few short stories but felt a bit dragged in the second half. I personally love that it exists and it had great prose and variety.

Doing backlog book reviews. This one was a re-read, and very interesting to revisit after a year in my current role. I missed all the contextualizing of business plans with her examples (particularly looking back at Elastic and NGINX) and the licensing forewarnings. Great primer for a founder or PM.

Awesome #DataforAI meetup last night! We had a nutty roster and the next one will be even better ;)

Had a fun time exploring Orlando this evening. The theme parks are not really my jive so the real highlight was Lake Eola's birds and hitting up North Orange St. Fun folks all about.

Forgot to take a photo during but today's Borderlands SciFi book club meet was Childhood's End.

A very disjointed story with an interesting premise, but falls off after the reveal of Karellen. It's almost hilariously pro-colonial by how the Overlords are framed as saviours. Fever dream ending.

Taejin and I met randomly once while I was on layover at the Incheon airport- and now I'm making him speak at my meetup. Come check out the awesome roster we've put together with him, Datastax, Hasura, and Pinterest.

Became an art patron for the first time after sitting with this piece since September of last year!

Sam Rodriguez is a special one and I had a great time chatting with him on the background of this piece as a study of black hair, but overall his dynamic portfolio is what hooked me.
