How do you decide which book to read next? Historically for me it’s more flavor of the week (based on a friend’s rec, “You Also Might Like” algos, what the library highlights, etc) I’m starting to come around to a more forward-looking, topic-driven approach (kinda like a college syllabus)

I recently moved into a Technical Program Manager role at a tech company that’s very traditionally organized (in terms of hierarchy, dept silos, etc) I’m still a DAO nerd at heart, and it’s been pleasantly surprising to see how much I’ve learned in DAO land is directly applicable to my day job

Freida McFadden is my guilty pleasure for psychological thrillers. The intellectual in me says “spend your time on more meaningful, timeless literature” …but McFadden’s final-pages plot twists are just too hard to resist

TIL When Norm Macdonald told the infamous moth joke on Conan, he made most of the set up for it on the fly (and based it on a Chekov play) to fill an unplanned 5-min segment.

I really like the Gilded Age show<>official podcast content experience. The show is fantastic on many levels and that’s only enhanced by the analysis and behind the scenes perspective the podcast offers

Personal data tracking nerds - I highly recommend ATracker. Super customizable, allows for granular reports, csv export, can set multi-faceted goals, has both mobile and web apps. Their iPhone widget is hands down the best widget I’ve used https://atracker.pro/home.html

Travelcasters: I'm planning a trip to Hawaii in mid-October. It's my first time and know very little about it. Any recommendations on island(s), activities, and/or places to stay? I tend to be more active on vacations (hiking, excursions, exploring cities, etc) vs relaxing on the beach.
