What I'm up to - January 2024

Happy New Year! Here's my monthly newsletter about what I'm up to, which I send in place of social media.

What I did in December

• Published updates to Booklet, including a design refresh, dynamic opengraph images, and showing viewers on posts.
• Wrote essays on the Contraption Company site: Digital Quiet, Booklet's Architecture, Community-Powered Media Companies, and Engineering Over Enforcement.
• Spent some time in Southern California - I went hiking in Joshua Tree, and am currently in Santa Monica.

Things to share

• Articles : Writers who operate. Blue for self-driving, Claxonomy of Mexico City's Horns.
• Films: Angèle, Windfall.
• Coffee I'm drinking: A cappuccino from Dayglow, my favorite cafe in LA.

Plans for January

• I'm headed to Tokyo for two weeks to do a creative residence at Almost Perfect, co-run by one of my favorite illustrators Luis Mendo. It will be my first time in Japan, and I'm looking forward to wandering, drinking coffee, and exploring the infrastructure.
• Working on a lot of new features for Booklet, and preparing to make some education content around how venture capital funds have mde private networks for their portfolio company founders using Booklet.
