When you travel as much as I do, you get pretty good at managing the logistics of it. It’s a common theme on the blog as I relish being competent at travel but I also have complicated emotional baggage about its necessity. Still I would relish a competitive packing game. I think a game show […]

Day 737 and Jet Lag
Like most people I’ve got my delusions. I am convinced I handled jet lag well. But when I look at my writing history and I’ve written about having jet lag six times I had an absolutely chaotic travel day yesterday with delayed flights, United canceling my downstream flights when I was forced to buy a […]
Day 455 and Jet Lag
I rolled into Denver around 420pm yesterday and I felt excellent about my timing. My ten hour flight from Frankfurt was quite pleasurable. There is something about long haul flights that are existentially quite satisfying, especially if the onboard wifi isn’t working, as one feels free from the outside world for the duration. It was […]
Day 1875 and Between Heaven and Hell
I had a stupid day. Maybe things have been simmering for a bit and a blow up was to be expected. I hit a limit for humiliation and simply didn’t want to keep paying for that kind of treatment. I did not consent. I’m doing some business in California and am paying an exorbitant fee […]
I am quite jet lagged today so I am unsure if this will be coherent but “it’s practice” so here I am. I am in the middle of my own biochemical storms as the wider algorithmic storms of the web remain at hurricane strength. My own teapot tempests hardly matter against the gale force nihilism […]
Day 1246 and Slightly Disappointed
I am a bit tired so this could all be jet lag speaking but I’m feeling slightly disappointed. While I’ve found great inspiration in the work of my peers, I see the failures and venality too. I am at Consensus and I’m unsure if I feel like we’ve got enough people building the future I […]
Day 1042 and Oh Dip
For the last three days I’ve been experiencing a significant dip in energy and function in the later afternoon around 4pm. Not only am I fatigued, but I seem to have some sort of either allergic response or potentially common cold symptoms. It’s a little unclear as I don’t have consistent symptoms nor do I […]
Day 1039 and Can’t Wait for Monday
Maybe this is my second wind finally kicking in but I cannot wait to start my week tomorrow. I am pleased that this is how I feel at 5pm Mountain Time. I woke up at 3am thanks to my comical jet lag from having been on GMT +8 for several weeks. I don’t recommend flying […]
Day 1002 and Airport Lounges
I’m on my way to the Baltics and Nordic countries for the next few weeks. I’m doing a tour to see what Tallinn and Helsinki have to offer as two of the more interesting and established startup hubs in Europe. If you are based in Northern Europe hit me up! I’ve come to accept lounger […]
Day 889 and Soul Delay
A girlfriend asked me if it felt good to be home in Montana. I said I wasn’t sure as my soul hasn’t landed home yet. I think it might be somewhere over the Arctic at the moment. She knows, now, absolutely, hearing the white noise that is London, that Damien’s theory of jet lag is […]
