For an unconventional series of nonfiction and fictionalized portraits, a reader might look to Truman Capote’s “Music for Chameleons” (1980).

Frank Sinatra Has a Cold is one of my favorites. And great to see the Convoke news! Much needed.

In Barisal, a friend told me about https://nagad88-bd.net/registration/. I put it off for a long time, but finally decided to give it a try. It turned out to be easier than I thought. After registering, I immediately started playing and even won a small amount. That encouraged me, because I didn't expect it to be so easy and enjoyable. Now I think I was wrong to have doubts before.

Love seeing optimism framed as strategy, not fluff. I’m building StormSide the same way, taking pain and turning it into pages, fire into forward motion. Always good to see reminders we’re not building alone. stormside.substack.com ⚡🔥

“Palmer Luckey, American Vulcan” was part of my reading before contemplating any investment in Anduril. “Eagle Eye,” Luckey’s pet (rimshot) project and his scalable, cheaper off-the-shelf components approach to manufacturing is disrupting the military-industrial-complex of sclerotic and bespoke/expensive component designs from legacy corporate contractors. This is similar to Planet labs first forays into LEO with PhoneSats: disassembling smart phones and reconfiguring the already scaled/cheap components into a satellite.

Having spent five seasons in a camping trailer on my timbered north slope Oregon property has a long tradition, from Edward Abbey (“Desert Solitaire”) to Palmer Luckey “Oculus”). Small, isolated and primitive spaces focus the attention on the matters at hand.
