The world is full of imperfect things that work simply because they are "good enough".

Welcome back Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It's been a long two years.

I've eaten at Tony P's Dockside Grill and the Marina CPK since I came to LA 25 years ago. Both closed in the last month. Just found out yesterday that Holy Cow BBQ in Culver City also closed. Not sure if this is just churn or the sign of the direction that the LA economy is heading in?

The biggest challenge for Crypto remains UX. Even in 2025 moving value around is painful, made worse by the proliferation of networks and coins. Consolidation around a handful of coins is the most likely outcome but getting there will be painful.

Back at the grindstone for the first time in a couple of weeks. One hour to apply all the work laptop software updates, another hour to update all the node dependencies for the projects I'm working on and fix any breakages. Welcome to software development in 2025.

London always seems caught between future and past. 15 minutes ago is next to 500 years ago, with the next 15 minutes always being built.

While the UK has embraced coffee culture for a while now, I never get the sense that (outside of the more artisan places) it actually understands it.

Beautiful Soup is hands down the Python library I use the most. It's great for post processing files to fix up URLs and other lint that you can't easily process via other tools.

Which areas in Los Angeles are growing at the moment? I was at 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica yesterday and was sad to see how it's declined. Lots of empty storefronts on the promenade and surrounding streets. Seems to be a common issue all across Los Angeles and associated cities. Not a good look for a city hosting a World Cup and the Olympics over the next few years.

Energy becomes matter, matter becomes energy. Nothing ever truly ends, it just transforms into new forms.

The key for any long lived Javascript project is to minimize the number of dependencies. Otherwise you end up spending entire afternoons upgrading and resolving test breakages when the dependency update breaks things in strange and wonderful ways.

Now that Southern California is on the edge of summer, it's time to switch from the winter to summer jackets and start reducing the layers. Merino, linen, and cotton seem to work best given the variety of microclimates. Finding a good summer jacket is however a challenge.

Got the wallet up and funded. The process was a bit of a hot mess when coming from an existing mainnet wallet, but we got there in the end.

One of the those overcast but bright days on the westside where the weather makes it hard to get motivated. Hard to believe it's now almost the end of April. Strange weather for a strange year.
