Worldbuilding / socioeconomics When designing a world for one of my novels I think about who puts the money in and who make sure the money lands in their pocket… Green puts money in White only takes a little Gold takes a LOT Real numbers tell a real stoy

Ok weird head cannon time: Watching alien earth has really convinced me that blade runner and alien are in the same timeline. I mean Kirsh and Roy Batty look like they are a few generations apart at most.

One of the things that I enjoy is driving. Glad I have a setup where I can do it in the safety and comfort of my home… (No bots were harmed…)

It’s one of those mornings when I have three Americanos and I think to myself “self, another one sounds like a good idea…” (I normally have 1 or 2 tops)

@biomassart.bsky.social thanks for the great art over the years…

I found a mug I made sometime when I was a single digit kid - my mom was a potter then, we had a kiln in the back yard and everything. She'd throw the basic shape, and I'd add the glaze and decorate it up.

I've always leaned to never say whats to come, don't talk about the foundation your building, a small fraction of users may care but most don't. They want to know when they can use the thing, which is when you ship it.

Coming to SLC for a conference. Never really been before. Since the movie* that I’ve been told that I was a character in when I was in college is set here, it should be fun. *the movie was SLC Punk

This just hits different today…

A big part of being able to execute is growing a team. A lot of people I talk to have trouble recruiting and hiring. The best advice I can give to make this easier is view the tech world as a long game, don't burn bridges, treat people well.
