Building a little space at /thenextwave and watching everything on /videolab.
Pinned
Several years ago, I sketched an idea for a space by the ocean, something I imagined building later in life during my coastal grandma era.
I set it aside and tried to forget about it. But recently the pieces aligned in a way I couldn’t ignore, and now I’m making it real.
It’ll be a little spot on the coast off Highwa...

In personal news, we’re moving to Marin this month. I’m bringing /thenextwave up north as well and excited for a change in scenery. Will share more about that soon.
For those who have visited the studio in Pacifica, it’ll be available as a commercial lease starting in March. Let me know if you’re interested. :)
I’ll ...

There’s a chicken on the loose in the neighborhood lately that people have been trying to catch for weeks. It’s friendly but evasive. Apparently it escaped from someone’s coop. In most places, a free-roaming chicken would be unremarkable, but people here are invested in catching it.
I see it on my walks at sunset and ...

In addition to the striking kintsugi cover, the thank you section of Stewart Brand’s new book caught my eye. Early drafts of the book had previously been shared online, inviting people to comment. The thank yous acknowledge in print the usernames of those commenters. A reminder we are in a new era of publishing.

The immaculate opening night of @nodefoundation’s 10,000 exhibition in Palo Alto. Even after following along the hard work and half murphs @phil shared behind the scenes, I was still blown away by it. A new bar has been set for art in the Bay Area.

IRL life has been unexpectedly eventful over the holidays and beyond. I’ve just realized how long it’s been since I’ve logged into social media! I really miss all the characters and projects on Farcaster. Starting to see the light after these weeks and will be scrolling/sharing more soon.
PS My Uber ride is done.

If you don’t want to listen to something, put on your headphones.
If you don’t want to see something, close your eyes.
If you don’t want to smell something, well too bad!

The current SF discourse has me convinced I am the only woman here who is not injecting myself with Chinese peptides.
From my Asian upbringing, I have high openness to alternative treatments. From my 90’s D.A.R.E. upbringing, I have high aversion to injecting myself with substances from dealers.
What’s a girl to do?

The random lore people drop under replies is why I cannot leave Farcaster.
Once upon a time, I ran a blog that had a light salmon pink background. When I created a print companion, I decided to track down FT salmon pink newsprint paper. As it turns out, there was only one paper mill in the world that made it — and all of it belonged to FT. Since 1888, it has been their way of differentiating

Our family dog for a while was a Sony Aibo (will save the childhood psycho-analysis on that for another time). I’m trying to give it a new life now. I’ve been reaching out to Aibo repair specialists. A niche field, as you can imagine.
But this hasn’t led anywhere. I’m hoping that someone here might know someone who kn...

On a related note, I’ve accumulated too many of these (bags and bags) and need to do something about it.
Donate to local library? Ceremonial bonfire on Baker Beach? Cut out articles and mail them to people with “reminded me of you”? All things I’m considering.
Catching up on the news in a quiet corner of a cafe this evening.
A young man approached me and asked what year my newspaper was from. I said it’s from today. He laughed and so I laughed too.
Looking confused, he asked me no seriously what year is it from. Looking more confused, I said no seriously it’s from today. I
