Avy Faingezicht

I’m not sure how I found Magritte in the first place, but as a teenager, his _Son of Man_ became my avatar on every online platform where I spent afternoons and evenings during the mid-aughts.

After a long time without visiting, I finally got to spend some time in Boston this past weekend with Max and Einat.

Boston holds a special place in my life.

Another year in San Francisco, another Outside Lands.

This year is going by too fast.

We've had a linkless nearly two months on the blog, so here are 35 links to make up for it - hopefully they're not _too_ overwhelming.

Every year I've been in SF, I've looked forward to Pride to take photos.

Out of all the weird San Francisco traditions, the whole "let's get drunk, dress up, and walk this race after the serious runners are done" one is one of my favorites.

Many months ago, when my brother Max was visiting, Rodolfo and Ciara told us they had gotten a reservation at a site in Big Sur in the spring, and invited us to go camping with them.

This year's PyCon took me to Cleveland, OH.

A few weeks ago I was at PyCon, and just like last year[^1] it was an inspiring and motivating event.

When Max and Einat got married, we decided that instead of giving them a physical thing as a gift, we'd give them an experience that they could enjoy with us.

Here I am, keeping my promise, and posting less links, more often:

I have been making an effort to carry my camera with me whenever I take public transit to work in the morning.

I have been awful at sharing links lately, and I haven't quite figured out why.

A collection from the last few months around the Bay Area.

A couple of weeks ago we went to LA.

It's odd that large scale protests like the Woman's March have become so mainstream.

You might be aware that I keep a list of my read and "to-reads."

We spent the holiday break with Hannah's family in Indianapolis and Chicago, and got to see a bunch of friends while we were there, too.

For months, Emily had been trying to make this trip happen.

December was a busy month.

Hello, and welcome to my last set of links of 2017.

This is another crypto heavy post with plenty of the links in some way discussing crypto assets, but bear with me: there's other good stuff to read, too.

I was just in Costa Rica for my brother's wedding.

Every time I come back home to visit my family I notice how differently things run here in Costa Rica than in the US.

This was in drafts for a while, so posting without comments.

>Light can be instantaneous.

This year for Halloween we went out in the Castro.

The first time I heard about David Foster Wallace was during my sophomore year of college.

I read a bunch of stuff this weekend.

September flew by.

September has been a long month.

If you've ever taken an economics class, you probably know about arbitrage: exploiting the price differences of an asset on different markets by buying low, selling high, and pocketing the difference.

Not sure how we got to a point where the title of this post is not taken as a fact.

Yesterday morning, instead of going straight to the office, I grabbed my camera and took photos of the skygazers around SoMa.

A while back, I started thinking about putting some savings in a broad-based index fund, and I compared various brokerage providers.

Outside Lands has become one of those San Francisco events that I look forward to all year for the opportunity to take portraits.

Last time I went to the library to pick up a book, I noticed a man next to me getting a stack of DVDs.
