Some really great takes from @robertglasper in this.. youtu.be/tqzlt9KJvWQ?si…

@taylorbrooks Yes. I always wish I played more than I do, but pretty regularly.

@davidyetty Do you still play?

to the guy that gave me drums lessons in 1996, I want to say I was wrong, and you were right. I should have endeavored to play along with Ten Summoner's Tales instead of Sixteen Stone.

Haven't seen one of these in probably 15 years.

Launched a website/brand on Friday that we kicked off in 2021. Healthcare client, massively affected by COVID, lots of quirks waiting on additional vendors, but we hung in there and didn’t quit. Weird flex, I know, but proud it actually happened.

The amount of people in this delta club on chatgpt is amazing

@BT_Harman Whether you’re ______ or _____,

Yep, extremely obvious at this point. “______ isn’t just about ______, it’s about ________.”

I used to make enough money to never pay for software because of Shopify partner payouts. Never understood why they took that incentive away from little guys.

@thesmbrecruiter Damn.

Like most 30-something W2s on Twitter, at one point I strongly considered buying a business. I perused the path, but didn't pursue it. Went a different route and glad I did. Everyone is different. But I still talk to plenty of people who might need leaders for a business they want to buy, so I am still interacting with that world a decent bit... Not sure who needs to hear this, and pardon the Southern speak, but a couple of teenagers can find a way to buy some whiskey, but that doesn't mean they know how to drink it. Be careful what you buy. It can ruin you. You have to decide and define what you want and not what just "pencils out" or what you saw someone on Twitter five states away (and unbeknownst to you married into money) is doing with his business. It just seems like I see a lot of guys doing due diligence on a business, but not doing the same objective research on themselves. Looking in a reflective mirror is a lot less painful long term than a rearview one. That's all.

Cleaning out closets and found this mashup on CD... How did I forget about this? youtu.be/E68kqM6DFGE?si…

Gosh this is convicting

Has there been a website more messed up (by whatever, you can decide) than weather.com?

About halfway through this. Really recommend. Great way to start the new year... @rorysutherland amazon.com/Alchemy-Curiou…

@forresteleazer @AustinTunnell Those dang investors… Agreed. I was lumping the PE backed investor groups in with those design/construction teams.

One of my favorite illustrations I use often from Bevan & Liberatos. Same block. Same density. Completely different outcomes. 1/3 the parking, yes. But building in the right place + coming of autonomous vehicles and more public transit and neighborhood districts, this is 100% possible. Minus all the things that make it illegal, that is.

@AustinTunnell Thanks for the reply. I was curious if the parking offset the different. Agree on the need. From my experience, the biggest hurdle is most design and construction teams would prefer the ease of the top over the extra work for the bottom.

Bottom is likely more expensive—though no garage could make it substantially competitive. Multi-family has its place. But everything is multi-family—so think we should have WAY more of the bottom, too, which is never built. Will still contribute to housing stock and reduce overall housing prices.

Alrigh, back to work. youtu.be/R-1kSn5nUYs?si… (Pretending I haven't worked all week)

Clichés are the crutches of lazy branding. In a crowded industry, relying on obvious puns or overused double meanings doesn’t make you memorable—it makes you invisible. Great messaging stands out because you trade the expected for the fresh, distinct, relevant, and meaningful.
