Finished up the first demo for my talk next month. Goal is to give an intro to generative design by progressively adding more "generative" features and explaining why we need them. [video in 2 parts because of limits..] #generativedesign #generative #isometric #generativeart

Taste lives at the intersection of creation and consumption. Consumption broadens possibilities. Creation sharpens it. This back and forth refines your intuition for what matters.

✅ Day 4 Every night with our kids we do "High, Low, Buffalo" High - Best part of their day Low - Worst part of their day Buffalo - Anything you want to mention It was surprisingly difficult as a parent of 3 littles on break to come up with answers that didn't involve them.
Share your high, low, buffalo! (But it can't be about the kids)

✅ DAY 1 Ali came up with a really good idea of some family procedures to keep things more routine and sane for both us and the kiddos. Bonus benefit: They will start getting the kids in the rhythm of responsibilities.
What is one thing you think would make 2025 more successful for our family?
