Upcoming Travel

Side note: have been finding much enjoyment using iOS’s Find My Friends. I’m not nearly as weirded out by it as I was before.

Vocational Notes

Actively performing technical advisory and fractional roles. Medium capacity (16 hours/week for ongoing retainers, burst-able to 30+ with notice). Current foci:
- Environmental Impact and Sustainability
- AI-enabled Workflows
- Anti-social networking
Getting co-founder(s) sorted for Team, Assemble! - demo, write-up
- Found go-forward GTM team
- Looking for product/technical lead to take myself out of the loop. (Maybe this is you?)
- Active TODO: write up a dispatch on this process. Many learnings.
Revisiting the Contact Management Tool as, on further reflections, there’s a lot to think about here.
- Bought domain names, so you know it’s serious.

Back to lifting 3-4 times per week
In dire need of new off-screen hobbies
- Anyone want to go mid-week Go-Karting? Will travel to any nearby K1Speed or RPM Speedway (all-electric)
- 1,000 photos still await review from a late-Spring train trip to Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Copenhagen. Oof. Might be a while.
Concerted efforts to minimize doomscrolling. (1-month update: this has improved my mood considerably.)
Expanded this /now page to include history. (Thanks for the encouragement, Harper! The code is so, so bad, is 100% Claude 3.5 Generated, and works 80-90% of the time.)

Chess
- ELO ~1100 (Daily). Write me if you want my chess.com username.
CS2 – We are so back.
Thank Goodness You’re Here! – Low-stakes game with about a 2-3 hour playthrough. Very weird and enjoyable.
