Following

Signals worth watching.

  • OpenClaw and the rise of the agents
  • Tiny software projects with cult followings
  • The future, tomorrow then.

Building

What's in motion.

  • An AI forecast engine that watches real-world information and produces daily forecasts about where things might be heading.

Thinking

Random thoughts.

  • I still miss Digg v1. Reddit turned out alright though.
  • The best ideas usually arrive while avoiding the thing you were meant to be doing.
  • The future arrived quietly, but exponential technology already feels strangely normal.
  • In three years we’ll probably be vibe-coding feature films.
