What I'm up to - September 2024

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

What I did in August

Hello from a train somewhere in the French countryside. I just finished spending a few days in London, where I met a coworker from Find AI. The best part was eating Dishoom for three days in a row. (Enough to earn a secret keyring).

Find AI has been busy—building many new features and growing the crew. Subscribe to the newsletter to follow the latest updates.

We concluded a year of wedding events with a final celebration party in Cleveland.

I also redid the Contraption Company website, which is now built on Ghost. Below are more details on it!

Things to share

Articles: Repair and Remain. How to Make a Nation of Meat Eaters Crave the Humble Bean. Four Years of Scite. Fewer teens want to drive. Silicon Valley canon. Founder Mode.
Podcasts: Ben Thompson on How I Write. Fred Again interview on Apple Music. Peter Attia on How I Write.
Music: I've been listening to a lot of Fred again..

Plans for August

I'm on an annual food trip with a friend, trying new wines, returning to some favorite cafes, and visiting new restaurants.
I plan to publish more consistently on Contraption Company. Stay tuned for a new essay tomorrow and an interview with an author shortly after that.
Launching some really big features at Find AI.
