Never underestimate the power of a few kids with an idea to be able to change everything

"We are all capable of building great things, you just have to be dumb enough to try"

Kids - performed at Zonker Harris Day, Wesleyan, 2003 (4 years before th song's release)

And they know it, you can feel that they know *something* is there

this video is so magical and beautiful i love it so much😭

just two kids making music, having fun,  dancing with a crowd of people. fully in the moment

a little bittersweet knowing these special moments just…don’t…really happen anymore

it feels like 15 degrees out with half a foot of snow on the way

it was at this moment i realized i made a mistake not going to art basel

july

after months of lurking amongst technical builders, i finally found a true sense of belonging in /july. in the environment fostered by @july. it went far in keeping me here

i feel lucky to have the opportunity to support him in building a cooler future for everyone

showing up for others means much in my book

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

birthdays are a weird, forced self-reflection. always preferred others’ to my own

much has happened. changed. for better, worse

i’m learning the power of reinvention. leaning into life. realizing things that scare you are good, actually. embracing em

this time we do it with a bit more presence. in awe of it all

The Third Man (1949) by Carol Reed 

“Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't. Why should we? They talk about the people and the proletariat, I talk about the suckers and the mugs - it's the same thing.”

Rebecca (1940) by Alfred Hitchcock

we don’t play with remakes, duh

give me something clean and beautiful or janky and hideous or I DON’T WANT IT

nothing in between🙂‍↔️

The Night of the Hunter (1955) by Charles Laughton

“They abide, and they endure.”
