Recently took my 14-month-old to her first Bulls game. She had no clue what basketball was, but she loved the lights, the energy, and the giant screen. 🏀✨ Mark Cuban’s point about families valuing the experience over the score felt very real.

Prediction markets are fascinating & exhausting. Serious derivatives tech (commodities, rates, hedging) now powers bets on rain or Jesus returning in 2027 (~4% on Polymarket). 🤦 Still sometimes these are more accurate than polls & surveys. Which makes it all more wild.

Hey! The next Chicago @MotionArtists group meetup is April 1 at Big Mini Putt Club in Lakeview, 6:00 – 9:00 pm. ⛳️ Mini golf, drinks, good conversation, and a chance to prove your putt stroke is smoother than your animation curves.

Interesting... BMO is deploying CME Group’s tokenized cash solution on Google Cloud Universal Ledger. This is the kind of digital money story that stands out to me. Less hype, more real market infrastructure for 24/7 margin, collateral, & settlement. cmegroup.com/media-room/pre…

As a Xennial creative, AI feels familiar & strange at the same time. Excited about the new tools but I don’t want to lose the messy human stuff that makes the work good judgment, taste, experimentation, & weirdness. Video that clicked for me: youtu.be/Pqs0PokPDqo

It’s not gonna get me to drink Budweiser but these Vintage @MLB Cans are pretty great. Ties into the semiquincentennial pretty well too. ⚾️🍻

Two different operating systems in my head: • Slightly tired brain = wandering, connecting weird dots, finding strange angles 💡 • Caffeinated brain = tighten the edits and ship the damn thing ☕ Unexpected MVP co-pilot? A cold beer.

Really digging Zombie Dust lately, not just because it’s a great beer, but because it comes in bottles. That straight-from-the-bottle sip has an old-school bar feel. With so many tallboy cans, I’d love to see more breweries lean into bottles especially for their premium lagers.

Seems like a bigger storm brewing for cans… Bahrain’s Alba just slashed 19% of aluminum output due to Hormuz chaos. U.S. tariffs already at 50%, @MolsonCoors eyeing ~$125M profit hit from aluminum alone. So costs creeping up, likley shelf prices next. 🍺📈 #AluminumCrisis

Creative work can make you feel like every free hour should be spent learning the next tool. Dad life has been reminding me that time is finite. Sure there will always be another platform, another skill, another thing to chase. But this time with my daughter won’t come back.

Damn timing! I’ve been deep in Cavalry lately, and @canva just acquired it (+ Mango AI). Now with Affinity already in their pocket, Canva’s clearly building a full suite that can really compete with @Adobe. canva.com/newsroom/news/…

With aluminum tariffs driving up packaging costs and Molson Coors projecting a "reset year," the math for local breweries seems brutal. If prices go much higher, wonder if we’ll see more breweries switching back to 12oz or instead of 16oz cans just to keep the price down.

I’ve been in “ship it” mode for so long I forgot how good curiosity feels. My iPad doodles help… but diving into Cavalry has really brought the curiosity spark back 🎉

Trying to 100% Super Mario Land while drinking isn’t going to well, but not a bad Friday night.
