Date night
Ky and I had our first date night this evening since Occi was born. It was two hours, but it was great. Kylene’s old company runs an alumni event every year in each city they operate out of. It’s a pretty sweet gig to be invited to; technically they’re looking for clients, but we’re just…

DOGE
As someone with an above average (not difficult) interest in fiscal policy, in the peak Elon fanboy demographic, and an enjoyer of big bets, I was pleased to see Trump’s appointment of Elon Musk and shit-stirrer extraordinaire Vivek Ramashwamy to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. Doge, for those who don’t know,…

Perspective
I had an early call today to a potential client in Tel Aviv. “How was your day”, I asked casually as we broke the ice. “Great”, he replied, “only two bombings this week”. Everything really is a matter of perspective.

Snow day
We had, apparently, one of the biggest snow dumps in 20 years last week, but I have my doubts to its veracity. I am, however, fully confident in the Coloradans’ capacity to build with snow. There were a ton of things people had built, but I wanted to highlight the smallest and biggest ones. They…

Cook book
I have never really fell in love with a cook before. I’ve used some before, but often find that they have a few bangers, and the rest of the book is just a waste of space. Sometimes the recipes are too complex, or have a style which I don’t really gel with (Jamie Oliver, for…

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
Ky and I joined a cult today. Like all cults, they don’t describe themselves as one, but it’s definitely a cult. They lure you in with a “too good to be true” message, and boom, you’ve signed your life away, at least for a year. I’m talking, of course, about CostCo. I could talk day…

Where did the policy go?
I was thinking just this afternoon, why didn’t I hear a word about healthcare policy in the recent election? I heard a lot about the economy, and abortion, and racism, and fascism, and free speech, and tariffs and even whether Haitian migrants were eating “tha dawgs”. What I didn’t hear, from either candidate, was a…

A funny political story
Forgive me if I have told this story before, but yesterday I promised to share with you my experience on how electorates see “key” issues. It was almost 10 years ago, and I was taking a breadth subject in politics; a welcome relief from my micro-economics lectures. Out lectures often had guest speakers, and on…

Trump Triumps
It is 10pm on Tuesday night, midnight Eastern. ABC, Fox, nor CNN have called it, but I have. It looks like Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. I picked him as a winner a little while ago, but I didn’t think it would be a done deal before the dawn. To…

The case for optimism
Tomorrow is the US Election. Most people, both in America and around the world, are holding their breathe, and not in a good way. Despite the BRAT attempts, the levels of joy in the air are low. I don’t think that should be the case. Regardless of who wins, there are reasons to be optimistic.…
