I think this has at least 2 years of being future proof - at most $1/day

I met @mastercgil in Los Angeles this summer and was struck by how quickly she resonated with my favorite parts of Farcaster (learning from builders, interacting with new technology, a truly international network) as a fellow "non-crypto person." She even persisted for a week to onboard despite the e-mail signup issue there was at the time. So I hope you'll give her a very warm welcome to Farcaster today and send standing desk recommendations her way this weekend. She's a master's student at USC and simultaneously working in the business of aviation. She'll need a good desk to do all of that. :)

One of my favorite purchases in the last couple years is the MOFT tripod, which is inspired by origami. It sticks to my phone magnetically and is convenient to unfold for quick filming, like the time lapse I recently took of the Taal Volcano. I had a plain blue one for a while but replaced it after I botched a removal of a worn down Hello Kitty sticker from my friend’s daughter. It was time anyway as my old tripod was nearing its end, plus I got to discover a new collaboration that Shantell Martin did with MOFT. Shantell Martin is a visual artist who often does live drawings for audiences. She’s taught at NYU Tisch, Columbia University, and MIT Media Lab. She’s done a number of interesting collaborations over the years, including a 75-minute performance with Kendrick Lamar at Art Basel. She often speaks about how location, audience, and collaborators have a strong impact on her work in creating something that couldn’t have come from her alone. Also, she describes her process as “following the pen” rather than setting out with deliberate intention to create a specific outcome. What I feel from her art is a sense of connection with others and surrender to creation. I like being reminded of this every time I look at the magical slab of glass in my hand that enables us to communicate across vast distances instantaneously. Farcaster is like a small daily ritual in collaboration, where casts don’t stand alone but are an act of co-creating with you all.

Rare product endorsement from me and Gruber lol: have used these Moft stands for years https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/07/11/moft-snap-on-iphone-stand-wallet The gentle curve it adds to phone back makes the phone sit much more comfortably in the hand; the way the stand bit pops out gives nice optionality when holding phone for extended reading, in addition to always having a vert + horiz stand

forgot how good it feels to physically touch a product I've worked on (wordsss.com did the positioning, verbal ID and copy for rorra.com) "Premium water filtration, rigorously tested to significantly reduce your exposure to harmful contaminants." I knew they were serious about making the best countertop water filter product but I wasn't able to fully appreciate how well-crafted and thoughtfully designed it was until I touched it (note: this is replacing my Berkey) bringing products to market for the first time is hands-down one of the best parts of this job we are looking to take on more work in the health and wellness space this year please reach out if you think we can help you better explain what your thing is and why it matters
