It’s a holiday in America and Germany today, so this morning I went out to do some semiotic spotting like an elder millennial Cayce Pollard. Just kidding (not kidding). I went to have breakfast at an outdoor cafe and went for a long walk. All imagery shown in this post was captured in service of […]

If I were a betting women, and I am, I’d be placing them on European heating, ventilation, and air conditioning corporations. Yeah, I think HVAC is a growth industry for the continent. HVAC is use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is […]
Day 875 and Spring Fever
I had a flu this time last year. I was in process of closing on our home in Montana. What a week that was for me. The first piece of real land I ever owned. Better late than never. This May I think I just have plain old hay fever. Blooming trees on Frankfurt city […]
I’ve been in Austin for Coindesk’s Consensus crypto conference. I’m flying home to Montana today after five intense days of work. But if the on the ground reception is any indication, I nailed this year with my talks and vibes. I might actually be good at my job. Conferences can be tricky if you are […]

I was very inspired by a Twitter thread from Anna Gat last week on how the weirdos who had dealt with their identities were having an easier time as millennials hit forty. I thought it was so incisive I’ll include it in full here. If you haven’t figured out who you at some point that […]

It started earlier than the pandemic […]
Day 826 and Alignment
I think there is this persistent fantasy in startup life that people will always agree with your bets.

You do get occasional moments of vindication but it’s rare that they […]
Day 806 and Inputs
I’ve had a very intense month. In the past thirty days I feel like I’ve lived an entire lifetime of emotions. I had some exciting but modestly controversial press in Vanity Fair about how chaotic the future looks in America. That brought a lot of attention and new LPs in chaotic.capital who want to invest […]
Day 800 and Small Potatoes
It’s nice when a round number crops up in my daily journey of writing every single day. It’s even better when it’s colliding with the wider narratives of humans. If you aren’t paying attention to the news, Silicon Valley bank had a run on Thursday and was taken over by FDIC on Friday. Now the […]
As you’ve probably seen articulated in thought leader tweet streams and thot-leader Medium posts, there are different kinds of millionaires. If you are young you are a time millionaire. If you are able bodied and healthy you are an energy millionaire. I am in energy poverty. I carefully ration my attention & time and use […]
