Wow sounds like a bullet list of my experiences (this is the shareable timeline www.thensomethingnew.com/projects)

Recently logged off social media for my art and joined an org that I feel safe at vs fighting everyone to make a thing.

That one is hooked up to the power infrastructure to that radio tower, with the befit of it being on a backup generator

Nice! That’s getting closer to my personal dream of connecting AVL and ATL!

Gonna try out connectivity at Road Atlanta this weekend!

More images from Asheville! Amazing event and even greater to see folks disperse into town and show a movement rising to tourists visiting from all over the Southeast

I recently went on a Tiger Cruise to visit my sister in Japan on the USS America and one of my first thoughts being on the boat was how refreshingly diverse the crew is and how great a representation it is of us when that ship docks in foreign ports

I really hope this symbolism continues to grow. Makes for powerful imagery everywhere I’ve seen it so far.

I was really surprised how much the battery life of the tdeck improved being able to use low power mode and not continually connect to Bluetooth, and the whole tools section leaves a lot of interesting stuff to be explored as we plan and build out regional networks. 💪🏻

That part in the second episode of the second season where they did that long tracking shot outside of the office building made me yell out loud in joy when I saw it

And I was working at Virgin Hyperloop in 2018 when they proposed a pod size so small to be deployed in India it would effectively revitalize the caste system.

There’s awful topics like this discussed in tech every day, but with decades of no light and consequences it will just get worse.

I have to say I loved this little thought, and totally resonate with what you’re thinking.

I’ve continually not embraced that ridiculous ’aughties’ term and have completely struggled every time I’ve needed a word for it in conversation. 🫠
