Interestingly the NHL saw this with curved sticks back in the 2000s I think.

Who else is excited about the torpedo bats in baseball? Not just for baseball, but for what they mean for innovation, as I write in a new short essay. https://om.co/2025/04/04/a-torpedo-bat-of-innovation/

Torpedo Bat is a living testimony that innovation through a combination of data, design, and science can happen in products that are even a century old. I have seen this before. My friend Ian Schon did this when he designed and made his Monoc nib. There are so many new ways to do old things, as long as one puts their mind to it! !

I am so happy that Warpcast exists. This is a pace of sanity in the middle of social media chaos and endless bullshit.

FWIW, I just finished writing this weekend. Here is yet another blog post, this time about Google's growing irrelevance. Google has entered its middle-aged mediocrity phase. Once the pioneer of innovation, itā€™s now bogged down by bureaucracy and an advertising-driven model. Hereā€™s my take on why Google risks becoming irrelevant in the AI era. https://om.co/2025/03/29/the-mediocrity-of-modern-google/

It is fair to assume that. Most companies know that there is very little risk for them to really do nothing/

23andMe is imploding, and you should do whatever you can to protect your genetic data. At the very least, try to delete it. Californians can delete their 23andMe data, according to the California State District Attorney. Here is how to delete your data. blog.om.co/2025/03/23/h...

I am the first to admit that it took me a whole decade to really appreciate the ā€œdecentralizedā€ value despite being firm believer in decentralized internet since 2000 when Web 1.0 went down.
