Bubble-gum blower. Classic over-thinker. Endless tinkerer. Publisher of Standard Correspondence on Substack. Building things at claudewill.io and flinthills.io and probably a lot of other places.
Today on my Substack, Standard Correspondence, I launched a series looking at the last couple of years but mostly the future. Hope you'll follow along and ask a few questions of your own along the way.

This isn't breaking news or quick takes. These are letters about what matters, written with the same attention to detail I once used as an AP correspondent, but focused on something more personal: How we grow through what we notice.
