I ended up turning down opportunities I should’ve take and taken opportunities I should’ve passed. I’m likely just being hard on myself. I did the best I could with the info I had at the time. But I feel I was more focused on the immediate than the long term.
I wish I could do over my 30s. I feel like I’m hustling harder than I needed to if I had made better decisions.
News articles are saying Elio is a flop because it’s an original story. It just doesn’t seem compelling to me. It may be great, but it just doesn’t seem like a world I’m interested in. And Pixar needs to move on from that animation-style.
You don’t control the world.
You convince it.
And right now, as the U.S., Israel, and Iran spiral closer to a broader war, we’re witnessing what happens when that truth is ignored.

I have a deep love for clothing labels. These are amazing.
Finally saw A Complete Unknown. Phenomenal.
If we think social media creates a harmful echo chamber and their algorithms have too much influence on society, AI is a million times worse.
That’s insane. I can’t comprehend the effort to create this.

Some people are aggregators and some people are curators.
Anybody else just feel an earthquake?
To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs
I would buy it immediately.
Homemade pasta and homemade marinara sauce for dinner. Incredibly simple and flavorful. The Italians are culinary masters.
Cars, dishwashers, and SUVs are now all cheaply made electronics.
What is up with clothing companies trying to sell me a sweater as part of their Spring collection?
We gotta do something about how loud leaf blowers are.
Is Figma buggy for anyone else? Seems like I'm having to restart it every day.
AI images is the new plastic straws. Are they problematic? Yes. Are people grossly overreacting for the sake of feeling better about themselves? Most definitely.
Engineers spend most their time typing while designers spend most their time clicking.

Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.
No ordering with the waiter. You’re seated and cared for, but there’s no decision making. Just enjoying the experience and your company.
I’d love to start a restaurant pop-up that only serves the 4 Roman pastas, kale salad, focaccia, and tiramisu for dessert. Along with Italian wines. Reservation only and you have to order when you reserve.
If any of this ends up being true, we’re in deep trouble.
Everything. Everything is perfect.

True
But I agree about the attention economy.
When we visited DC last year, we got to watch the senate in session. It was depressing. There was one lonely senator rambling on about the evils of EVs to an empty room. Just so the stenographer could put it on the official record. Apparently all true dealings happen behind closed doors.
