Anyone way into soldering: the newly released iFixit soldering iron is really nice! They gave me one to try out and I find it a joy to use. Heats up almost instantly, the tip cleans easily, and it runs on any USB-C power supply, including a battery bank. ifixit.com/products/fixhub-p…

I just backed an art book, "Demimonde", from my friend @suzanneforbesartist (Suzanne Forbes). It includes 20 years of her drawings from the LGBT community. The book will be printed if it reaches its goal. You can check out her support page. startnext.com/en/demimonde-s…

On April 1st, to publicize the HOPE XV conference (12-14 July, in New York City) and call attention to how "deep-fakes" are easy-to-make and dangerous, we created 9 humorous videos, released 1 per hour as April Fools prank. They are worth a view! hope.net/deepfakes.html

Founders Institute is also looking for experienced people to be mentors. Please let me know if this call to you and I'll give you more info.

I devoted a lot of time as a mentor for Founders Institute -- I really love the way they support people in creating small businesses from meaningful ideas. There are still several days remaining to apply to be part of their program for this year. fi.co/join/home
