I'm intrigued by the idea of a digital garden. Specifically, as Field Notes says, "I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now."

  • Thoughts about "March"
  • Thoughts about "Adolescence"

  • Can men be crones?
  • The goal of keeping a business small

  • The idea of a retirement as a startup or startup as a retirement
  • Locating "retirement" on two spectra: income and daily activity
  • What are my favorite third places? What are some I haven't thought of?

  • Where do I go from here, a list of potential career paths or at least next steps
  • Museums like cinemas and concert venues where you experience art among other people
  • Isabella Stewart Gardner vs. Contemporary Curation
  • I like coffee that still tastes good after it cools
  • Code is more like a recipe than a poem
  • Why LLMs would work better, culturally, if we didn't call them "AI"
  • Couples who sit next to each other when alone at a four top
