Here is every hour of one entire year of my life, plotted on a radial timeline (read clockwise). Years ago I began tracking how I spent my time every day in order to hold myself accountable to making the best investments with life's move valuable resource: time. (1/n)

Calling all talented designers in NYC to come hang out with us in Williamsburg later this month along w the team at @tryramp! We had too much fun with this RSVP page... someone please humble our graphic designer's high score.

I'm gonna be using the heck outta this

Surely I know someone who knows someone who has land in Texas I can take my sons camping on, shoot some doves, peep some stars through my telescope etc... ?

Grok is the ultimate truth-seeking model.

Gave a grokbot access to my ancestry dot com, paid for a subscription, and told it to just figure out my whole family tree and text me dope facts it discovers... it is going through pushing back the wall discovering tidbits about my ancestry I never knew I had... incredible.

Is there a consultant working for some hedgefund who has huge short positions on these car companies who is convincing them to go through with these rebrands or what? I can't think of any other reason they keep doing this.

Few things are as bleak as meeting someone who doesn't like the original LoTR movies, conversation kinda peters out and eyes start searching for the door.

For all the other space nerds out there, I flew over Pecan Island a couple days ago - the site of the future @SpaceX Starbase, LA.

If you want to remember 9/11 in the most visceral way watch the live news coverage, as it happened, time-matched to that morning. Start this in exactly an hour. youtube.com/watch?v=Wm-bJLRa…

Incredibly refreshing to hear the Philippines stand up to China so candidly this way. I spent my entire childhood there (K-12), and was surprised when I came back to the US that few had heard of China's bullying of their neighbors.

I've been asked to help fill Head of Brand / Creative Dir. / Sr Brand Design roles at 3 different companies which are some of the most inspiring, technologically futuristic companies I've seen. If this is you pls DM me.

.@AlexFrommeyer just announced the launch of our latest @8vc build co Stack Health, which means I can finally share easily the funnest brand we've had the privilege to explore. Fro requested 'Liquid Death for Insurance', and I think we delivered :)

I was the foreperson on a jury for a DUI where the guy was clearly 2-3x the legal limit when arrested. A lady who was clearly on cocain didnt want to convict him because she had a nephew whose DUI really messed up his life... Took two days to convince her.

ok but google option is objectively better in this example??

I visited @neuralink in person on Thursday for the first time and met the incredible people in each department digging deep into how the brain works. My mind was melted. Of all the companies I've visited in my 10yrs at @8vc it was the most sci-fi stuff I've ever seen.

. @AnthropicAI loves their capybaras. A marble capybara statue now lives inside Anthropic's HQ. Some friends and I had the privilege of bringing it to life at breakneck speed. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the process: sketching it in a night, molding it in clay the next morning, and milling it from marble over the following weeks with help from the talented team at @Monumental_Labs. Pretty fun to support @8vc's mission of fixing [and beautifying?] a broken world in this way!

Kinda cool that Pecan Island and South Padre Island are both exactly 6hr10min from Austin. One way or another my sons and I are going to be watching these launches.

🏃‍♂️

Had an awesome time hosing Designers x Machines at our @8vc office last week. Thank you @ben_issen for throwing such a well-run and fun event! We saw quick 5-min flash demos of various side projects SF’s most creative designers have been building w AI.
