One Year Later
It's been a little over a year since I decided to take a leap and start Flower with Sam. Since then, we've assembled a small crew of four, leased office space near our good friends, built a variety of custom furniture, launched a social network named Yuma , threw an office-warming, and had a good time along the way. It feels like a small pirate crew, a band of people with an insane collective…
Daisy
On September 17th, my second child was born. Her name’s Daisy. In the three days we were in the hospital before and after her birth, I was struck by how calm Jenny and I were, how normal everything felt. I suppose what they say about first and second children is true. On the first night of our stay, I was pacing the hallway adjoining the room where they keep babies in incubator-like bubbles and…
June 10
It's early June! I've been writing a lot, but the vast majority of it will never see the light of day: This is the personal sense-making shit, rough notes, synthesis, scraps, etc. Today while waiting for water to boil in my kitchen, I was scrolling through some old tweets of mine to find a particular picture of a kindle embedded in sand. I ended up stumbling on a tweet I wrote that stated: "…

I'm writing this up 26 minutes before it becomes June. This entry was intended to represent my "top of the month" update, but a lot got in the way of sitting down to write. If I could characterize May, it was wrestling with schedules, walking in the botanical garden, and dodging beams of sunlight while taking Elle out for a walk. I received a burst of energy and have begun to make large strides…
Totems
The premise of our mission isn’t a rejection of standardized goods, but about making custom goods a standardized experience. Standard goods offer efficient and widespread availability. This is a useful baseline for users to understand what needs they require. Custom goods help build the bridge from what’s available on the market to what a user specifically needs or desires. This can be anything…
April 6
Man it's been a crazy April. Imagine being two weeks old! It's been rainy, they say April Showers bring May Flowers: The month of April, traditionally a rainy period, gives way to May, when flowers will bloom because of the water provided to them by the April rains. (by extension) A period of discomfort or hardship can provide the basis for a period of happiness and joy. I've had a lot of time to…
March 5
Taking a beat at the top of March to reflect on the prior month. Slow seasonal ease into milder times. Punctuated with a brief but terrible flu. A brain fog like I've never experienced in my entire life, a handful of existential crises. No art, no reading, no meaningful creative production. Easing out of hibernation. Discarding endless packaging, rupture of routines. Fancy cakes. Sheaves of…
