I ordered a my first parafoil kite. A Tantrum 220. I’m interested in kitesurfing, and also looking for options for an upper body workout on windy days.
Can’t wait to get this thing in the air. Hopefully the kite is the only thing that goes up 😁

I’m having so, so much fun playing FFXIV again. Meeting some really friendly people. Playing from my couch away from my desktop. It’s just a good time.

Something I did not expect was a bonding moment with my kids thanks to Psychostick of all things. I regularly listened to them when I was an adult teen. Fast forward nearly a decade and I hear them singing “I’m a dog and I like socks”, and we headbanged together.

Launching Through Partnerships
I’ve seen how powerful working with partnerships when launching can be, and I don’t think I can ever go back.

Thinking about different ways to exercise daily, and I’ve found that surprisingly enough flying a dual-line kite is a decent upper body workout. Eyeing up something bigger like a Tantrum 220 🤔

Be a Guide, Not a Guru
I really like this framing. Being a “guide” instead of a guru. I’ve been writing up and conceptualizing a lot of content this week for Siren (so, so much content is getting queued) and this framing has been really useful for me. I’ve never been able to quite articulate it as well as this.

The Goal Setting Approach That Actually Works For Me
I’ve historically struggled with setting proper goals in my life. Until I discovered this approach, which seems to be working quite well.

Loving that this second monitor is not only good for couch gaming, but if I’m doing what I call “shallow work”, it’s nice to have a second screen. My little Macbook Air is great on its own, but sometimes I want the extra real-estate. Not too different than my original RV setup, actually.
Eventually I’ll replace this board with something better, but for now, any planar surface will do 😅
