"If you’re thinking without writing, you only think you’re thinking." – Leslie Lamport Writing is uncomfortable. That’s the point. It forces you to confront how well you actually understand something. If you never write, you can stay in the illusion that your thoughts are clear. But growth doesn’t happen in that gray zone. Like lifting weights, you only get stronger by pushing past what’s comfortable. I can think of three great reasons to write WIBTALs:You think better. Writing makes you slow...

i'm so excited to share that my piece, "i am your mirror," was accepted into Season Zero of Mantle's art initiative, Another Art. ten submissions were chosen to be part of the gallery. here it is: Collect NFT it's an open edition, and you can collect it for free (you just need a few cents of MNT, which you can easily obtain using squid router.

New York City was supposed to terminate its congestion pricing program last Friday because, well, Trump told them to. But they didn't do it and so harsh words were exchanged and then the deadline was extended for another 30 days. (This sounds oddly familiar.) Who knows what happens next month, but we are able to accurately quantify the benefits of nearly 3 months of congestion pricing. Firstly, it's generating a lot of money. In the first two months of operation, congestion pricing has alread...

In 2020, I launched $TATR, a social token distributed through a protocol I called Social Liquidity Mining. It rewarded peer-to-peer NFT sharing instead of capital staking. I filed a provisional patent in 2021, then abandoned it in favor of an open-source ethos. Platforms like Farcaster and friend.tech now echo what we tested back then. This wasn’t just an experiment. It was a signal.

Sei might acquire 23andMeI certainly didn’t have this on my bingo card for the unfolding 23andMe saga, but earlier today Sei announced that they were exploring the acquisition of the bankrupt genomics and biotech company.What’s 23andMe? It’s a genetic testing company founded in 2006 that became popular with its DTC (direct-to-consumer) model which became a popular gift during the holidays and a borderline fad. Call me a grumpy old man, but it felt weird giving my DNA data to an organization t...

A lot can happen in a week or two in the world of football, and sometimes it's not good. In the case of Liverpool, a few weeks in 2025 have dramatically changed people's perspective of their team and the job Arne Slot has done so far.

A quiet insurgency is rewiring our world. We're hitting a critical moment when the inefficiency of constant AC/DC conversion is becoming too convoluted to ignore, especially as data centers strain capacity, renewable projects multiply, and extreme weather exposes grid vulnerabilities. We've been forcing fundamentally 21st-century DC technologies (like solar panels, EVs, and computing devices) through a 19th-century AC system, and we're long overdue for a change. Consider the path electricity ...

What learning how to ice skate with a 4-year-old can teach us about what it's like to learn something new

I originally published this piece in 2017. I thought I'd share it with my lovely newsletter community. What do autonomous vehicles have to do with California water? More than you might think. Governor Brown recently declared the end of the California drought and has released a new long term framework to make conservation a way of life in California. As we think long term about California’s urban water use, it’s worth noting that autonomous vehicles will have transformative impacts on urban wa...
