Updates from the Bridge: I absolutely loved this video. Speaks to where the internet was and where it's going. The good, the bad, the ugly, and yet a note of why it's still worth building. Thanks to pablo's post I've been sucked into the rabbit hole that is Gemini. I'll likely do a full blog post on the topic, why...

Some of you who follow me are aware that I published Alcove last month, a privacy centered RSS reader. It follows the patterns of traditional RSS readers: categories, syncing, marking read vs unread, viewing content in-app, etc. One of my readers reached out and was excited about the project, but also expressed some...

I love hand written notes; a poem, a grocery list, a random thought, a to-do, I love it all. There's something about taking these kinds of notes with a physical pen and paper that is just hard to beat. For one I simply remember things more clearly if I take the time to write them down on paper vs a computer, but I...

I'm constantly finding new tools to use in the terminal, so I figured it would be nice to make a post that highlights a few of my new favorites! numr If you've ever used numi then you'll feel right at home with this bad boy. Natural language text based calculator written in Rust, featuring live price conversions and...

Updates from the Bridge: I'm back! Been AFK as I've been traveling for Thanksgiving and in a bunch of transitions. Excited to blog some more 🌝 Big update: I'm now working as a DX Engineer for NameHash Labs! 🎉💫 I'll be building dev tools for ENS and helping push the adoption of ENS as a whole. It's a core protocol to...

Most of us take RSS for granted. It’s old, outdated, and perhaps “useless” to many. I would assume a large number of Gen Z doesn’t even know what it is. Despite what you may think of RSS, it represents a crucial belief in the internet: openness. With an RSS reader you can subscribe to feeds from multiple sources,...

For a long time I was a craft beer guy, but as I reached my thirties beer just left me feeling dehydrated and groggy. I started picking up Lidl wine for a whopping $3 and it tasted fine to me. Over time I slowly started spending a little more for a bottle of wine, maybe $20 if I was feeling fancy. A lot of this...

Updates from the bridge: Khem's post on AI Fatigue really hits home for me and how I feel about the space right now. It also reminded me of The Hog. Used some birthday money to buy a telescope that my son and I can use; I'm pumped about it 🪐 Update on my Linux desktop journey: I did some research on X11 vs Wayland...

I’ve always loved space. Up until I was six years old I lived close by to an air and space center which I visited often. I read books about the Apollo missions, saw one of the capsules at the space center, even watched Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks at the ripe age of four. Even as I got older I would watch PBS NOVA...

I’ve recently talked about moving back to analog forms of media, and just doing things “the hard way.” In retrospect I think a better term and concept would be “friction.” We live in an age of hyper-convenience, where at the snap of a finger you can have almost anything shipped to your door, listen to any song,...

Updates from the bridge: Got my portable cassette tape player this week and absolutely love it 🥲 Feels great in the hand and I could spend so much time just sitting and listening to music with this thing. My kids love it too, and there's something awesome about watching a 2 year old put on these dinky headphones and...

My latest side project Alcove (a privacy RSS reader in beta) solves the problem of privacy invasions regarding what news you might read or what people you follow. However the other side of the equation, blogs, face an interesting challenge. Blogs of course are generally not private, but they are a tool of free...
