What I'm focused on.

Written from Philadelphia, PA. Inspired by the now-page convention. The honest version of what's holding my attention this season.

Focused on

  • 01Shipping the Shelfable private beta to a small circle of households.
  • 02Two consulting engagements: one clinic, one studio. Quiet, careful, paid work.
  • 03Sketching SourceLayer — an evidence layer for public claims. Early concept.
  • 04Standing up the bones of StewardBridge — working out the framework in the open, no capacity to support the mission yet.
  • 05Helping the Whitemarsh Art Center stand up a real volunteer pipeline.

Reading

  • Braiding Sweetgrass — Robin Wall Kimmerer (re-reading, again)
  • The Dawn of Everything — Graeber & Wengrow
  • A pile of zines from the Philly DIY scene

Walking

Pennypack Creek with Caesar, most mornings.

Thinking about

About inheritance, about successor businesses, about why the default exit is closure.

Not doing

Twitter. Hustle-pace. Free advice on Zoom for 'pickin-your-brain' calls.
