Making a case for a digital Ricoh GR1, The Ricoh GR1-D. Yes, you read that correctly: the GR1-D.

The Ricoh GR1-D: A minimal full-frame 28mm camera concept

A full-frame, fixed 28mm camera built for speed, simplicity, and intent. No video, no screen, no distractions. Just a tool that stays out of the way and lets you take the shot.

I feel bad for plants growing in bad places. They are stuck in a spot without the option to move.

Everything is a 'community' now. And I think the term has lost its value because of it.

Building community is overrated

Community isn’t something you declare into existence. It forms over time, through shared identity and enough structure to sustain itself. Anything before that is branding.

The marketing for the MacBook Neo is so interesting.

The way Apple is explaining the concept of a MacBook, with MacOS on it, to people who've only known iPhones is a real craft.

Flying back home today but have a 7 hour layover at MEX. Any suggestions on how to kill that time?

This take may be lukewarm but the fact that everybody can get a platform now makes platforms pretty useless. We're all special. Nobody's special.

Does anybody actually know why the US government is at war with its own citizens? It seems counterintuitive, counterproductive, immoral, and aimless.

Might go for a run on the beach when we get to Mazunte.

Burn some calories, organize some thoughts.
