iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

i keep running into more reasons while it’s cool to eschew involving the govt in ur romantic life, being legally married in the US is just smart. TiL: you only get survivor benefits via social security if you are married.

US capitalism doesn't make any sense. how is it that i can buy better glasses for cheaper on zenni dot com than i can through my insurance, which gives me 100s of dollars of rebate on glasses???

i both love and morn that asking to exchange phone numbers when getting to know someone is in again. a return to the defiantly unscalable and personal.

is it just me or is it absolutely wild that you're supposed to a house after looking at it for 15 minutes. my ideal process would include speaking with all the neighbors, observing the passing of the seasons, and bringing my friends there to see if they all fit

why are climbing and surfing not in the winter olympics?? performance boulder and sport climbing happens near freezing, and big waves depend on the winter swell

im traveling and really want to get to know the location, but all the online articles i’m finding are generated 😩 the only hack to find human voice seems to be to walk into a curated bookstore and purchase material published before 2022

the downside to being an endurance athlete who grew up as an endurance athlete is that your go-to solution is pushing through pain until you’re unconscious

punch line: business use AI to eliminate C-suite jobs and give raises 😂😂 this is the first time i’ve seen a business eliminate jobs from the top (rather than from the bottom i.e new grads). yes it’s a climbing gear store that also makes safety research content. youtu.be/xviXW7C7My8?...

in the era of AI generated websites, handmaking a website is fun and cute as ever. it’s like how there’s still knitting circles even though fast fashion exists.

i just have to go out and say it. berkeley is on average an awful city for bikes and im scared shitless of biking or even being a pedestrian, even though i love bike commuting and am a brave person. the greenway is such a fucking joke wrt safety. and there’s no outlook whatsoever. permanently cursed

I realized I probably have about 8 years left to climb v10, and that idea alone restructures a lot of my short and long term goals! I can probably ride my bike across the country or climb El Cap when I'm 45 or 55, but the time for brute strength has a real window that I want to acknowledge!
