Ever had an experience that goes on to radically alter the course of your life, but the shift wasn’t obvious to you in the moment? For me, one of these moments started with a crumpled note taped to an MIT elevator wall: “Benoit Mandelbrot. Today. 10-250.” The note wasn’t there hours before when I first […]
Confession time! I’m addicted to ice. Or, as Plunge would say, “Cold is My Medicine.” Every morning, and many afternoons, I jump in to 41 degree water for a minute. Crazy? Probably. But the more I do it, the more I think it’s crazy not to do it. Journey to Cold AF My buddy Nathan […]
Four years ago today, a startling conversation with an investor started my journey to “get good at sleep.” Years of trial & error, research, and life logging led to the ideas summarized in this post. Implementing the habits and ideas outlined in this post have exponentially boosted my productivity and sense of well-being in life. […]
Founders, as you know, founding is really f*ing hard. Especially the quiet psychological battles you’re forced to fight many days.

Hopefully, the entire slow streets […]
U.S. broadband is about to face the tragedy of the commons. If you live almost anywhere in the U.S., don’t expect to just “go remote” smoothly as your company is likely about to mandate you do. While remote work seems to be a magic bullet so far, that’s because less than 1% of us are […]
For starters, you’ll make more money. This open letter originally appeared on Broadband Breakfast. Greetings Gwynne, Elon, and Team Starlink – Thank you for working to connect folks. You’re launching the greatest leap forward in the internet’s 50 year history, and will recast the incumbent structure of U.S. telecom over the next few years. Today’s […]
Your local ISP is the only thing keeping you and your community adequately connected to the global economy. And they do it with one metaphorical hand tied behind the back, while blindfolded and barefoot. Nonsense?
