I don’t plan to take a week off. It usually happens when I see the deadline approaching and realize there’s just no way. Work has been busy, life has been busy, and it was time. I don’t see either of these calming down in the near future, but I’ll work through it. This week’s links […]
While the world continues to spiral, I’m trying to focus on making things. We can’t control it all, so what I can do is make nice things, highlight great work, and hug those that I love. I implemented a new feature on my blog with the help of Cursor and Claude Code. If you want […]
We’re in the home stretch of 2025. Personally, I can’t wait for this year to be over. That’s a long story, so let’s get to the link show.

You’ve probably noticed by now—AI doesn’t often make its way into these posts. Not because I’m anti‑AI. I use it all the time—maybe even daily.

Summer is in full swing—and the world feels like it’s burning, in more ways than one. When I’m not curating links, I’ve been spending time talking with other creative folks about the current state of things.

Ian Malcolm, the chaos theorist and moral center of the movie, is giving the creator (AKA billionaire with big dreams) a reality check after seeing the scale of the DNA […]
It didn’t happen in September as planned, but my new project, Skate Book Club is live. If you missed the first issue, check it out here. Each month, we’ll bring you some of the best books we’ve found (or unearthed) in the skateboarding community. A huge thanks to my collaborator, Natalie Porter who helped me […]
It’s been a busy month. I can’t keep track of everything. In fact, I’m not even trying to. I focus on the task in front of me. Everything else is unimportant. This is not exactly a zen approach. It’s a method of survival. The link show must go on, that’s the task right now. Data […]
This week’s list is a little short. I apologize. This last week caught me off guard and Config snuck up on me too.
