I just bought a gigawatt-scale solar factory. AMA.

@dhh 100% agree we’re going to make this happen for our kids in austin texas

@stefanpenner TBD, have to finish my load calcs

@ebryn And battery?

Unexpected power outage today, reminded me that I need to test my generator setup more regularly. Good fire drill I guess, finally got everything working once the power came back on. 🤦

@stefanpenner planning off grid solar + my own rack mounted batteries, can top them off from grid if I need to, ultra efficient geothermal style heat pump setup but ran off a loop from my pool

@ebryn That’s a good idea. I just have a little low key emergency setup, where I can power the furnaces and the internet. Either from a small Honda generator or the van

@potetotes small businesses are where it’s at imo, my career has been working with big companies from a small company and enjoying the dysfunction as an outsider 🤗

this weekend marks 5 years I've spent at Meta. the longest I've been in one co. it's been long enough that i am getting pretty curious about what else might be out there. mission-driven teams with high agency, great people, no bureaucracy, extreme clarity. does this exist 👀

@eastouest @KellySutton Congrats!

Oh hi, I'm a #NewUSCitizen

I can’t help but think this lawsuit is another way we’ll see our two realities exposed in the US: politics and the real world.

@trek 👍😅

@trek did you acquire a pet?!

@trek isn’t this what hotels do?

@joshavant and to answer your question… ordered on iOS Apple Store app

How did y’all scan your face that quickly?? I started ordering right away, and still ended up in the Feb 13 batch.

@joshavant You can come use mine on 2/2 🤠

@KellySutton Late to the party… congrats!

Last week, I left Gusto after a great 6.5 years. Going to miss all of the great folks there! This week, I'm starting a new company building software for universities. We've closed a $1M pre-seed round and are hiring a founding engineer. scholarlysoftware.com

We've dreamed for years about having smart glasses in the cockpit. Can't wait to try Apple Vision in the cockpit. And control towers. And in flight operations centers. Another round of innovation in aviation is on deck.

@AdamSinger Very cool, guess I’m not alone. We’ve got 5 acres in Far West Texas. Haven’t started on that project yet 😅

Wife and I purchased 1.75 acres of beautiful, but very wild Texas land we are going to tame. Before they bring a rock crusher next week I took some cactus samples so we have them. This one has v few spines yet so you can touch gently. But slightly larger I wouldn't recommend...

@BobWeide Bob, my condolences. Watched your Vonnegut documentary this morning after seeing the obit on Twitter. Nicely done sir. I am also a big fan of Curb. Sending good vibes your way, planning to read Cat’s Cradle. Thanks for doing what you do. I want to see your Marx documentary next.

(2/2) ...that has always captured my feelings about her, especially now that the memories and the love are all that remain. Grab a full box of tissues and listen to Michael Franks' "How I Remember You." (I warned you. 😭) youtube.com/watch?v=meIz4B…

THREAD: Again, I am knocked out by the unexpected response to my tribute to my wife, Linda Weide. Because it has brought so many new followers to my page, I will start posting more anecdotes, memories and photos of her. Meanwhile, here's a song... (1/2)
