rejected pill labels from figma, and claude trying to attempt handwriting a new logo.. wip:

ai kills the idea maze and the stress tests that happen in the 0 to 1 process the idea maze gets built and refined subconsciously when you write the prd, the deck, the 1 page north star doc, the wireframe, the db schema etc when you skip those, you someti…

it’s Thanksgiving in Canada and the sun is shining bright.

How many brands and startups that you previously sunset have you restarted?

update on the build thesis.. it’s now a 100 page deck, lol cutting it down today, working on shipping v1 by 5pm if you want an early look, drop me a note

noticed founders are falling into one of these camps no thinking, tokenmaxxing, push everything to prod, spray and pray moderate thinking, feeling like the assumptions, mission and ai skillset are all weak (very behind) all thinking, all mission.. not eno…

Jeff Bezos on taking big swings.

built a browser studio for making my own brand assets. somehow already on phase 4 with dither + a bunch of efx that absolutely didn’t need to exist

Junastar, my new baby that I’m purposely leaving unshaped as a lab, is trying to take some public shape.

sage advice from steve, maybe more so now more than ever: spent too much time last night experimenting with 3D renders, recreating the sparkly mj glove just for fun.. safe to say, we have a ways to go with 3D animation

dabbling with fable 5.1 today: cad renders, making sounds, cleaning up sounds, some heavier animation work. it’s incredibly easy to fall into “idea plussing” rabbit holes. and across this, which is outside my typical day to day, idea to 80% takes just min…

Agent identity and authentication are top of mind.

I shared this screen capture with a few founders earlier this morning.

It’s back!

This whoosh!

I love bringing ideas to life

Always start with the marketing brief.

If you token max, don’t forget to allocate 20-25% of your time towards manual creative outputs.

Refactored a personal project.

This website is driving me bonkers.

PSA your company or product website is your source of truth.

wrapped a few major Health and fitness milestones with 3 PBs. chatting with a few different founders.

perhaps the last daily log for now?
