    Super excited to announce that I sold a story to . It's got interplanetary relationships, avatars, a China dominated world, and how marriages change over time. Think Cixin Liu x Ted Chiang. Look for it in the coming year!

    Me: Time to write a short story with only one underlying theme. Keep it simple! Brain: What if we cram together climate denialism, sentient robots, Confucianism, and mind simulations. Me: 😖

    This Chinese programming language is the exact same energy as my short story about chinese monks and Turing machines:

    Any founders out there whose companies were acquired and were ultimately shutdown *and* the founder themselves were the ones to argue for the termination? I'd like to talk to you.

    And a few more stills. Can't get over the gorgeous lighting in this film.

    The Last Black Man in SF is a love letter to SF: Victorians, quiet neighborhoods, and eccentricities (as well as the ugly disparity and segregation.) I recommend all us transplants watch this film. “You’re not allowed to hate something unless you love it.”

    A demonym is the designation for ppl from a place (ie. Californian), but there's no consensus company ppl (ie. Googler). A suggestion is ergazomenonym, which doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

    This got me thinking about Aphantasia (the lack of a mind’s eye) and its kins for other senses. For me, I can essentially imagine any sense in my mind, but now I’m curious what combinations people can’t.

    Wow perhaps this intersect is much larger than I thought. Got enough folks for the first dinner. If goes well we can do more!

    Anyone else in SF that work in tech but also writes fiction? Would love to set up a gathering for folks in this slim venn diagram slice. DM me!

    This phrasing is a subtle euphemism for "are you fucking kidding me"

    Imagine dedicating yourself to studying the fundamentals of mass comm, toiling your way up the PR industry. Then being tasked with crafting this message...

    Are there any tech businesses entirely run on mobile phones? Soup to nuts. No employees use laptops or desktops.

    Love this. Can't wait for the rest of the transformations, specifically the sidewalk level bikeways.

    The Airpods Pro generally fits well in my ears, except when I start laughing. Now I'm wondering if they're training me to be more somber during zoom calls.

    An adaptation of Parasite for the US needs to focus on the racial socio-economic divide. Hoping Bong gets this right. A quieter (and more somber) comp is The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Beautiful film with similar themes but polar opposite approach in style.

    Are a lot of SV startups formally adopting Chinese 996 work hours?

    I'm compiling a list of storytelling resources that I've found useful. Mostly focused on prose narratives, but much of this also applies to other mediums... yes, that includes slide decks.
