Standing alone in my driveway On a empty street On a small island Next to a big ocean I looked around at the houses I looked up at the big sky, pink with dusk Alone is a trick of perception Based on the size of your container Alone in your room Maybe in your house […]
Writing a huge blog post (a followup to this one) and slides (for a webinar on 3/19) on remote work, it’s just crystal clear that there’s a huge opportunity during this crisis to make literally EVERYTHING better if we choose to. Work can be more humane. Our governments can be more agile, more compassionate and […]

I did one of these earlier in the summer, so this one will be a little shorter. I was sick for a while, and we had to evacuate for a hurricane, so I’ve watched a bunch of stuff. Bahubali 1 and 2: On Netflix. Two of the highest grossing movies in Indian history. They’re both […]
