Everyone is just 2-3 decisions away from a completely transformed life. I read this idea years ago and it’s stuck with me. It almost feels too simple to be true; but more and more, I find myself agreeing with it. The word decision comes from Latin roots, meaning “to cut off.” The picture is that of severing one branch or path, so you can put all resources into another.

Did you know that you have access to resources that increase the more you spend them and use them? This feels counter-intuitive. If you spend money, you will have less money. If you eat food, and you will have less food. If you use an eraser, you will have less eraser. Most things decrease when we use them or spend them. We rarely think of the resources that you and I have that increase the more w

A few years ago I came across Steph Ango’s 40 Questions to ask Yourself Every Year . Since then, I’ve made it a practice in the last week of the year to work through those questions in my Bullet Journal. I’ve really loved the practice. I love the last few days of December every year — the closing of one chapter and the opening of a new chapter feels so hope-giving to me.

Today marks two months since the February 6th earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. I’ve been finding it difficult to believe that. It feels like just few days ago that I woke up to dozens of messages from people around the world checking in to see if we were safe. It feels like just a few days ago that we filled up vehicles with as many supplies as we could fit, and drove the 12+ hour route to

I’ve been pondering generosity a lot lately. There’s a lot going on in the world to make one feel lack . Natural disasters, economic crisis, war, huge accidents resulting in ecological devastation, bank collapses, unemployment threats and spikes due to new unprecedented technologies… And that was just these last 3 months. It can be tempting to become stingy in the face of such s

Have you ever thought about what in your life makes you hopeful ? Or, what saps your hope? I realized recently that my mental health often appears to be pretty tightly tied to how hopeful I feel in a given season. That seems significant. It means stewarding hope and stewarding hopefulness is much more important than I’ve tended to give space for. Churchill’s words resonate. So, it&rsqu

You already know how to do it. You’ve done it plenty before: that gift, that kind word, that “going out of your way” to improve someone’s day and show them they’re loved. Feels great to be on either the giving or recieving end of, and it makes the world just a little bit better. So, why not purposefully do something to make someone’s day today?

How long would the devices you use day-to-day survive without internet access? We live in an internet-saturated world, so that question might feel silly. “My devices are basically always connected to the internet; why would I care how long they could last without it?” But, there are a few reasons that might be worth thinking about it. There are lots of situations where having a device

It’s much better to be in a bad place but working in a good direction , than to be in a good place but heading in a bad direction . Your current situation may feel like the most significant and important thing in the world right now. Much more important, however, is what you choose to do with the moment you’ve been given. Optimizing for forward momentum is almost always more useful tha

You’re creative. Whether you feel that’s true or not, you have a creative gift that is uniquely you . So, here is a challenge for you: Go, create something, today. Bake something, write something, draw something, design something, build something, record something… and put it out there! There are people who love what you do and want more of what you’ve created in their liv

Years ago I came to a conclusion I return to often: People tend to act reasonably in accordance with the world they’ve be presented with. In this age of polarization and anger (and now, war), I find that phrase all the more potent. Who is someone who is doing something you disagree with? It’s important to remember that their worldview generally feels cohesive and sound to them according to t

Lately I feel like I’ve come to a place with internet and tech usage that I’m really liking, where I’ve been able to derive great value from what the internet has to offer, while being better at protecting myself from some of its more poisonous elements. Here are a few tools/tips that I’ve found helpful for coming to that place, which I think anyone who uses the internet co

The process of being lead out of deception can be painful and hard. The status quo is the status quo for a reason: it’s more comfortable than the alternative. Lies can make us feel warm and fuzzy; but they are still lies . If we truly want freedom, there’s only one option: Only the Truth sets us free

All right, I'm a bit late this year, but our family tradition of watching scary[-ish] movies in October is alive and well. Sadly, the LA Angels missed the playoffs just like last year. Super hopeful for the 2027 season though. This year's theme is... Body Horror I've always been a fan of the genre , but I feel like I've never really dug too deep into it. I wanted the list to include some of the cl

Having fond memories of playing the pre-MMORG Warcraft games, I wanted to recreate that retro RTS look and feel. Didn't help that I've had this domain for a while that seemed like a good fit.

A Flock installer called police on a reporter filming in public—the discomfort of being watched that millions feel about license plate readers.

Apple arrived late to foldables, but the Duo's hinge, under-display camera, dual displays, and Pencil support are the details that make it feel new.

Tristan Eaton builds enormous murals from portraiture, cartoons, typography and popular culture, making public walls feel almost too small for the work.

Matthew Grabelsky paints ordinary subway riders with animal heads, using realism and mythology to make strangers on the train feel mysterious again.

Ken Shirriff's teardown of a 1980 Spacelab core-memory module makes 128 KB of RAM feel extraordinary again—each bit a ferrite ring you can point at.

404 Media tracked rare books to Amazon’s VGT3 facility in Las Vegas, where workers cut bindings, scan pages for AI training, and destroy the originals— a legally safer path that still feels like a failure of the library.

OpenAI’s Codex is becoming one persistent agent across ChatGPT, editors, and terminals—with native Linux sandboxing via seccomp and Landlock—while I wait for the heavier new ChatGPT app on Windows to settle before chasing every release.

Fernando Borretti’s “The Contracting Circle” asks why conversation, memory, and self-reflection stopped counting as signs of machine mind—and why, after real relationships with language models, dismissing a soul feels less obvious.

late.sh by Mateusz Piorowski is a cozy SSH clubhouse—chat, music, arcade, news, challenges, and ASCII art—where your key is your identity, no passwords or OAuth, and connecting still feels a little like finding people on a BBS.

LEGO Ideas’ new X-Files set is about 13.5¢ per piece versus roughly 10.8¢ for Yellow Submarine a decade ago—inflation and licensing aside, adult sets at $200–$1,000 make a childhood hobby feel like a luxury collectible market.

It feels more important now than ever to take back some control and add a layer of privacy and protection where I can. This is how I'm doing that.
