    Start a Project. Kill a Project.

    I have been enjoying everyone’s year in review posts, and reading what they hope to achieve over the next year. I love the enthusiasm and the new projects starting, but one thing I love even more is when I see people defining what they will do less of in 2016. For myself, I set my self a limit…

    Life In Paris for New Year’s, came for some solitude and culture. I’m enjoying the break from the intensity and that other people are also on a break and making a point to connect with friends online, if not IRL! Nice to get back into the gym again, too! Trying to figure out how one…

    2015 Review

    For 2015 I chose the word “ship“. 2015 was the year of freedom – freedom to do my own thing, but also the pressure of figuring out what that looked like. No-one to answer to but myself, and I was the worst and also the best boss I have ever had. The worst because I’m a…

    Life Last few days in Seattle, which was (as always) wonderful. I saw the new Star Wars movie which was a bit inexplicable of me, and spent as much time as possible with friends old and new before I had to leave. I understand there was some kind of holiday this week. I mostly slept…

    Grief, Friendship, and the Most Important Thing

    One of my friends died not too long ago and #fuckcancer. But at least I got to say goodbye, and to say what seemed like the most important thing to say. It’s rare that you get that kind of closure. So I clung to that when I knew the end was near. And I reminded…

    Life Super boring, just working and going to the gym! Kinda nice to be boring for a bit though, so much rushing around lately. Work So productive. Got the build of Show and Hide iOS we want to ship out on TestFlight, and after several days of furious coding got Show and Hide Android into…
