There are many communities that have emerged […]

I thought the discourse around “founder mode” had died down but Kim Scott the author of the best selling book Radical Candor decided to link the meme to what she considers a so-called rise of “neo-authoritarianism” in Silicon Valley culture in an op-ed in the New York Times.

Day 1336 and Pick & Pack
It’s possible exposure therapy has worked for me. My worst recurring nightmare always involves packing. And yet recently I’ve come to find packing to be a neutral to even positive activity.

I’ve been surprised at the emotional campaigns that have been waged against technology in the general, and artificial intelligence […]

Day 1008 and Pesky Hormones
I’m enjoying a double header of hormones today. I’m in my luteal premenstrual phase which always leaves me tired and emotional. But I am also just letting go of the last bits of adrenaline and cortisol from my travels last week. As the last bits of stress hormones drain away and my cyclical hormones flow […]
