• Had heard about Anduril before, but have started looking into them more and I’m… Scared. The silicon valley approach for company/product building applied to weapons for various govts is terrifying. Need to do more research tho

  • I think the habit I struggled with the most this year was consistent financial planning. Even being blessed with a great job that provides more than enough, dealing with money is so anxiety-inducing for me. once I do it tho, it feels like a giant weight off my shoulders!

  • “I’m not a guy who knows things, I’m a guy who figures things out” - overheard on the web (and my new personal motto)

  • O boy… A veritable house of cards being presented as a solid foundation to startup founders

  • my Arc invite finally arrived!! Ferb, I know what we’re going to do tonight 😈

  • arghhhh obsidian is so nice, and I love how easy it is to sync between my laptop and my phone with syncthing, but getting syncthing to work on my ipad appears to be an uphill/impossible battle

  • sigh… now I’m giving Obsidian a try. I really though Nebo was going to win the notes wars, but now I’m in my head about whether or not I need handwriting at all.
