overwhelmed with all the love today…the Farcaster fam all met me at a very privy time in my life

my journey in crypto hasn’t always been easy but days like today make me even more excited to bring the world onchain 

onward

Tonight I got to see someone I had worked with at Coinbase when he was 16 years old (!!) working as a software engineer. He literally had to get his high school principal to write a letter approving him to work there. I hadn't seen him for 10 years and it was so awesome to learn he was doing well, made me really happy

v excited to launch a poetry project I’ve been working on for a LONG time

I’m fascinated with the idea of websites as projects unto themselves and I will continue to add to the 150+ poems shared here until it feels better to put them somewhere else

enjoy 🫡

so i'm deleting our streamyard account since we moved to using evmux and today is the last day i could defer the plan pause so i had to finally download all the old ok banger recordings

what a trip down memory lane to see all these videos @cameron and i recorded together! not only 50 episodes, but also often 2 hours of "after action review" videos after each episode where we would discuss what we liked and wanted to improve

feeling blessed by such a gift of friendship--i hope everyone can find their own cameron!

Design

"Diet Windows95"

This piece was super fun to make; I'm a huge fan of Microsoft aesthetic and wanted to honor it in this iteration. I made sure to research each element and the visual history of Window95 to create this as authentically as possible. Made on ASUS Zenbook S16.

@stevedv.eth I appreciate you for dueling, I have a lot of respect for you, so this is very meaningful. I know you aren't a huge fan of soda or windows, but you did great & are a huge part of why this was so fun!

@blankspace thank you for consistently bringing taste to the timeline and hosting this duel!

how it was made: This was made fully using Adobe illustrator+photoshop. lmk if any of you would be interested in a workflow / behind the scenes video!

New for mini app developers: improved URLs 

Have been out for a bit, but now they have better docs.

I realize now that a nontrivial amount of network states are adult summer camps with better branding 

I love camp it’s not a diss but it’s camp

overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster-centric.

sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster (and please lmk if any of these are in your wheelhouse bc i would love to help amplify!):

1. popular culture! trend analyses and insights on culture (and not crypto culture). tell us what do gen z and gen alpha (and sure, millennial) consumers care about. i know "men in tech" may not care about this, but plenty of women *do* and there's a lot of us here!

2. start ups! tell us which startups are hitting milestones, getting funding, growing exponentially — and tell us whether you think they are worthwhile businesses or not.

3. data-centric information about technology, the economy, psychology, and everyday life. i love seeing data visualizations behind things that we know and love.

4. more SCIENCE! tell us how pigs could solve the organ donor crisis or why sunshine is good for the immune system. anything!

what do you want to read more of here?

Haven't read it yet but this is a write up of the Browser Company's CEO finally sharing about basically abandoning Arc to pursue Dia

https://open.substack.com/pub/browsercompany/p/letter-to-arc-members-2025

Browsers ceased to be an at-scale consumer platform independent of distribution after Internet Explorer was released and crushed Netscape.

There was a brief moment where Mozilla Firefox (thanks to IE6 stagnation) might have proven a counterfactual, but Google and Apple won the browser market on mobile and then desktop because of distribution.

Consumers are fine if the default is good enough. Hard to make it 10x better.

Just spent over 1 hour dealing with a combo of hardware wallet, wallet extension, bridging errors and I generally know what I'm doing by now so wow that's painful for newcomers :(

live look at the line outside the Venice Blvd. Farcaster Store. looks like at least 50 people so far.

Whether it is smooth or not depends on the face

FarKahn = FarCon ? Don't know how that even comes up but I'm here for it!
I got called for jury duty today and they took all our electronics and I very randomly had a paper copy of Genghis Khan book by Jack Weatherford so I spent 4 hours reading about Mongolian history today. Strange that this is on the timeline today.
