Love the upcoming Bruce Lee Forever stamp from the USPS.
Saw Jeff Tweedy tonight at Largo. Such a great show, even though I wasn’t familiar with most of the songs. I haven’t spent much time with his solo stuff. Judd Apatow did some standup to open, but Jeff might have actually been funnier.
If you are a California resident, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. I’ll probably keep paying for Incogni as well. I’ve definitely noticed a difference.
Excited to dig into this beautiful new book from Stewart Brand. I can get enough of Stripe Press books. They’re always so lovely.
No international travel this year, which was a bummer, but I did get to spend some time in NYC, which I had not done in a while.
I love my Oura ring, but for all the focus on making it feel smarter I still get notifications about stretching my legs when I’m on planes and driving, which feels pretty dumb.
Disclosure: I’m a former employee and shareholder.
I was sad to learn that James Grauerholz passed away on January 1. While it had been some time since I spoke to James, I was lucky enough to spend some time with him and William when I was going to school in Lawrence, Kansas in the 90s. James was visiting Los Angeles not long after I had moved there and we spent some time together. He was especially supportive of me when I started my short-lived record label. He was also encouraging of my writing, which meant a lot. Farewell, James.
Speaking of RSS, I’m using it more than ever. Every newsletter I subscribe to goes into my feeds now and I made major progress unsubscribing from most newsletters that were coming into my email inbox. In 2025 I added 74 new feeds, bringing the total number of sites in Feedbin to 3,651.
The fine folks at Buttondown made a tool to combine multiple RSS feeds into a single feed. I don’t currently have a use for this, but I think it’s a neat idea.
