As a creator, I’m always blown away by how much taxes mess with stuff we make. Take today’s example: Snuggies! You know, those cozy, wearable blankets. Well, in their ads, they always show Snuggies are “used” not “worn.” Why? So they get taxed as a blanket, not clothes. Yep, the IRS is out here deciding if you’re using or wearing your laziness.

Managed to take a selfie while fighting Gannon.

After weeks of battling monsters, solving puzzles, saving the world from evil spirits, and basically living in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I’m finally back. Sometimes, chasing your goals means sacrifice—beta launches, $CABAL rewards, and even friendships. But I’m here now. ¡Let’s Go!

I stumbled upon this breakdown of hardcore a few years ago but this video takes it to a whole new level. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rlkaQI5GWXg

I think there’s a Soulbound NFT partnership waiting to be made. #ArtsDistrict

Spent a few days in Chicago with some musician friends. Weather was so cold we ended up staying inside and building out a home studio. v0 Came out OK!

Every couple months I come back to this diagram. It’s published in the book, Key Person of Influence, which I often recommend to friends, specially creators. 

It’s the KPI method to becoming a person who is trusted in their industry and who can monetize their value.

I realize I’ve worked on improving 1-4, but have ignored 5. So that’s the goal in 2025. I’ll be working more closely with individuals and communities that are aligned to my mission to enhance the impact of my work and theirs.

More on that soon.

Solid product management thinking. Highly recommend following @humpty

Killcord feels like something out of Mission Impossible. “The killcord project owner hides a secret key from the world by checking in to the killcord smart contract on ethereum. If the owner stops checking in after a period of time, the killcord is triggered and the secret key that decrypts an encrypted payload is published.”

today’s recording session is going to be killer!
